How to choose puppy potty training pads?

Disposable housebreaking pads can be a valuable tool for training a new puppy while protecting your floors and carpet.
Pads also can be used beyond the housebreaking phase if you want to create an indoor bathroom for your pup — an effective alternative for those with small dogs, limited mobility, or life in a high-rise building.

Things to consider when buying potty training pads

-Size:

Puppy potty training pads come in multiple sizes. Small and medium-sized breeds can generally use any size of pad, but for larger breeds (especially giant breeds), look for oversized puppy pads, as they more surface area and can absorb a larger volume of liquid.

-Absorbency:

Most pads have a gel layer that captures urine and prevents leaks. In general, the more layers the puppy pad has, the more absorbent it will be. Some puppy pads also contain chemicals that turn the liquid into a gel that gets trapped within the layers, further preventing the chances of leaks.

-Odor control:

Some puppy pads may contain odor-resistant ingredients like activated carbon or odor-eliminating scents.

-Disposable versus washable:

Most puppy potty pads are disposable and meant to last between several hours up to one day, but some reusable pads are machine-washable and designed to last much longer. If you don’t like the idea of putting soiled pads in your washing machine, disposable pads may better suit your situation.
