"Ordred this on a wednesday , regular shipping, and got it the next saturday! At first my maltese would not poo on the pad he would only urinate. Being a male dog he lifts his leg, so I would say if you have a male dog better buy two pads and sew them together or the urine will leek under the pad. Or buy the big size. Petco only had the medium size when I orderd. You would think that would be big enough for a little 7 poung dog! A week later he started to poo on the pad yeah! Go ahead and try them , well worth the money and savings than the expensive disposable ones! Watch out they do slip and slide around if on tile! As for the oder part , not so good. You really need two so you can wash it every night. Over all , pretty good! Just like everything else it takes patience to get used to."
