Wee-Wee is a Better Choice

I got these once when I was waiting for our order of Wee-Wee Pads to come in. (Our dog is geriatric with Cushings, so we use them regularly.) They were thinner than the name brand but seemed to work ok. The name brand, however, is better, and you can find it for LESS than the generic, so there is no reason to get the "home essentials" when you can get the brand for less.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought a huge amount of pads for my dog who's twelve pounds because for much of the winter, it's to cold for him to go outside. Total waste of money for these. They leak hugely & when I picked up the wet pads to throw them away, the tile floor underneath was sopping wet so I had to mop and disinfect anyways. I will not recommend these pads to anyone. I went to a competitor today and purchased a name brand box with more pads than this purchase for less money. My dog has already went potty on the new pad I put down & I am impressed! No leakage & the floor wasn't soaked. They feel so much thicker when comparing the two. I wish I could get my money back but I used all the pads by having to double & triple them on top of each other because I needed something for him in the house. Hence, the package went much quicker & was a financial waste and disappointment in general. Ive had a crazy, busy past month or I would have gone into the store in a heart beat for a return.

By far the best 'Store store brand" I've found.

I don't use these for 'conventional use. I have a stubborn cat that refuses to use the box for #2 only. So we have reached this 'agreement'.She chose 'her spot' and I put down the pads to protect the spot. Being a cat, she still 'has to cover'. 95% of the pads I've tried have shredded into pieces. That tells me they would not be a good absorber. They would leak.....These pads don't shred, They seem to be built better. Of a higher quality. I'm sticking with these. I just have much more confidence in their durability.

These Puppy Pads work perfect with our Miniature Rat Terrier. We place a puppy pad in the restroom for her to use the restroom in the house if she can't hold it until the next walk (typically she waits for outside walks).
The puppy pads are not too small to contain a morning urination, and absorb well enough so urine does not roll off of the pad when it is picked up & thrown away. Essentially, these puppy pads contain the mess.
Our canine member of the family who uses these puppy pads? A 10 month old female mini rat terrier whom is about 9 lbs, potty trained, & extremely sweet but spunky!
Thank you for a great product! I used our Petco Rewards, so these pads went from affordable to downright amazing in price!

These pads are horrible. They come all folded up and are impossible to undo. Some are stuck together and can't be opened. They are so thin, they don't hold anything. Additionally, they don't fit the standard pad holder, they are too small. I would not recommend them.

Potty Pads Work Great!

We have a 20 year old cat, Gomer, who lost his hearing a couple of years ago, and has just recently lost his sight too. Because of his age and other ailments, he finds it difficult to get to the basement where the litter boxes are located, and has recently started urinating on the carpet in our hallway.
We started lining the hallway carpet with the Potty Pads, and when he doesn’t feel up to getting to the litter boxes, he now uses the Potty Pads.
The only drawback is that when you walk on these unused pads, they tend to stick to your feet, and then have to be repositioned on the carpet. Other than that, they work very well and they are very absorbent.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have a 14wk old Aussie and we use them with him because he in a crate when we are at work. He uses them fairly well. I liked these because they don't have the attractant in them...I don't want to encourage him going inside but I want to stop the messes! At times, it seems as if it holds the moisture VERY well...then at others, it doesn't. I wish it was just a little bit thicker/more absorbent..but overall not too bad for the price and for the size of my puppy.
