Alpha Paw Training Activated Absorption Reviews Summary

Appearance

Pros:

• "I like the fact that don’t look dirty. My neighbor thought it was a rug!"
• "Let’s be honest, I bought these because they were black and matched my floors in my home and weren’t noticeable."
• "The black pad gives it a luxe look!"
• "They match my black tile floor in the bathroom so it is so much more visually appealing to not see those weird white/blue pads with stinky yellow pee stains on them."
• "Everything in my home is black, so I have to say they fit my decor as well."
• "They are black, so if we have unexpected guests, there aren't big yellow spots on the pad."
• "I like that they are black so the urine is not visible like it is on white pads."

Cons:

• "The charcoal potty pads are very dark in color(blackish), it makes it very difficult to see if my dog has even peed or not."
• "Negative, I did not like the color being black it was hard to see the urine to know when to change the pad."
• "And the black makes it difficult to see how much has been eliminated--and where--on the pad."
• "It is hard to see the dog pee because of the black background."
• "Unfortunately my dog is afraid of the black pad sitting on floor I have to put the white wee wee pads over but she is very timid!"
• "The only problem I have is that one of my dogs is mostly blind and can’t seem to figure out where the black pad is."
• "The dark color for some reason keeping my dogs away. We have 2 small dogs and usually like the biggest pads we can get but they aren’t available at this time."

Absorbency and Leak Protection

Pros:

• "They keeps leaks to a minimum and have protected my floors much better than other pads I've tried."
• "These are far and away the best I've ever used. The liquid gets trapped and turns gel-like, preventing leakage and allowing it to absorb a ton."
• "Never had a leak."
• "They are definitely leakproof and stick very well."
• "Very absorbent, leak-proof and reduces odor."
• "These bad boys DO NOT LEAK!!!!"
• "They hold a lot of pee! I can sometimes use them for two days."

Cons:

• "Does not absorb small dog urination at all! Rolls off of pad to soil rug or floor!"
• "I paid TOP $ for these hoping they didn’t leak ... I even got the extra large !!! They are fine for like 1 pee session, but by the second one...THE ONLY REASON I GIVE 2 stars is because...they are great at absorbing Oder."
• "Does not hold her urine and she only weighs 3 pounds."
• "What is disappointing about these pads is that they leak through more that any other pad I've tried."
• "Pad even when glued to floor, becomes slippery after has been wetted with urine."
• "Pee rolls off the sides of the pad but what is even worse is the paper thinness they're made of now so the pee goes right through them."
• "These Alpha Paw pads leak and the urine runs under the pads and onto the floor."

Odor Control

Pros:

• "Excellent durability & odor elimination capability."
• "They also contain the smell."
• "Urine odor is very slight."
• "The charcoal eliminates the pee smell unlike the white peepee pads. It also doesn’t clump. I’m so happy with this product!!"
• "I love these pads. They are large, very absorbent and there is no smell even after being used multiple times."
• "There is no urine odor whatsoever!"
• "They lock in the liquid and trap the smell."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately they do not mask the scent at all."
• "These potty pads DO NOT seem to work any better than other pads."
• "They are not worth the money, they are flimsy and worthless."
• "These do not absorb as much as advertised and the side areas definitely do not keep the pee from seeping off the edge - not even a little."
• "Unfortunately, these smelled bad once peed on, unless picked up right away."
• "These have a paper backing, so whatever's underneath them will get wet."
• "BUT THESE SMELL HORRID when my pup pees on them."

Adhesion and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "They stuck ok and the glue was easily removed by rubbing your finger over it."
• "I also LOVE that there is adhesive under all of the corners."
• "The adhesive strips keep them in place."
• "Love the color & the adhesive tabs as I use on balcony so windy days a problem- the sticky tabs solve that."
• "They also stick to the floor if your dog scratches for the perfect spot."
• "The sticky adhesive is pretty good but often pieces will stick to the floor after pulling them up - but it does come off."
• "I like the tabs that anchor the pad to the floor."

Cons:

• "The stickers pull off onto the floor and rip the pad."
• "The sticky part comes off the pads and gets stuck to the floor too."
• "About half didn't have the sticky pad and those that did just don't stick...or at least not to linoleum or vinal plank."
• "Whatever glue is used with these is so very strong, you have to use a scraper tool in order to pull them off the floor afterwards."
• "First of all the adhesive strips are a joke."
• "The adhesion tabs aren't very sticky--they are like post-it note adhesive."
• "It does keep the smell down but they rip as the dog walks away from using them."
