"I bought 7 of these for my little pug, Jazzy. She took to them right away. We'd been using the disposable ones, but she shredded them daily. These are thick, absorbent, and durable. Best of all, she can't chew them up. She tried the first day to scratch it through, but she gave up. I still have to use a puppy pad holder to keep it in place, but I like having that extra layer of plastic between the pad and my floor anyway. So far, the pads have held up to repeated washings (with bleach I might add). I've been using them about 3 months now and wouldn't trade anything for them."
