AmazonBasics Pet Pee Pads for Potty Training | Carbon Activated | XL 71 x 86 cm| 50 Pieces | Leak-Proof Quick Dry Design, 5-Layers, for All Dogs and Puppies (Carbon Activated, XL Size, 50 Pads)

Good soaking capacity

This is easily the best training pad on the market. The carbon pad is the best for absorption and reducing odor. Also, puppies are naturally drawn to using it. You just have to train them correctly. If your puppy is very young, they will have accidents around the house. They have small bladders and are still learning, so be patient with them and don’t scold them. If you see them start to pee in the house, just calmly pick them up and bring them to the training pad as they’re peeing so they finish going on the pad. When you notice them using the mat, praise them once they finish going pee. They will learn VERY QUICKLY that the pad is used for peeing.

What is good, a. Super absorbent / takes more volume than the previous brand from Thailand. b. No leak or seepage c. Odour arrest to a great extent What's missing, adhesive stickers on four sides would help to ground the pee pad. In the absence of stickers, the pad often flies or moves from the position. It's inconvenient to keep a check on pad position. On Size, Ours is a Beagle Puppy of 4 months old. XL size should be good enough for Large dogs or Medium dogs. Size is overkill for me. I shall order the regular size next time.

Quality is poor , it's cheap but non sticky

Good quality 🥰

The claim of being leak proof is over stated. If you leave the pad unattended for more than a few minutes after it has been used it definitely soaks through. Our dog is only 12kg in size but easily soaks through. If you pick up the pad quickly after use then there is no problem. Unfortunately there aren't any effective alternative that don't cost a bundle.

After having used newspapers for all my earlier puppies, finding these training pads was extremely helpful. Honestly I was skeptical initially..i mean why pay when old newspapers are there. But I'm glad I used these. The XL size was just right for my 8 week old golden retriever puppy. Pads are thick enough, absorb well and are leak proof.. unless puppy pees on the edges in which case it won't be leak proof. As you can see from the 2 pictures above , a pad can be used for a couple of times. The black surface is the top of the used pad and the other picture shows the used pad from the other side.. there is no leakage. But yes if you use it for a couple of times, it will start smelling especially if you have a bigger breed like mine. But they will come in handy if your puppy pees at night. Mine didn't and since his bladder control was good .we found it better to place mat on the terrace and lawn to get him used to going in the designated area(terrace,lawn )without the mess of wet newspapers. I guess those who live in apartments will find them handy since it's not easy to run down with a pup every 20/30 min. And now that his vaccination is done, I intend using it for getting him used to outdoors.

The manufacturer has substantially reduced the quality of the product by using inferior quality of plastic sheet beneath the pad. The urine seeps through the plastic sheet and soils the floor there by defeating the very purpose of the product. Please take necessary action or else we may have to look for other products. It's also puts a question mark on Amazon authorised product. Please take up with the manufacturer for improving the product.
