I have a 5 year old female rescue pup that is a saint when we’re home. But when we leave she will urinate and crap in one spot of carpet in the house. We believe that she was abused and neglected by her previous owners and we’ve tried every remedy online, crate training (she pees and poops in there too), went thru 4 veterinarians with full assessments, to animal behaviorist. Nothing works.\n\nMost of the house is wood or tile floors and she must know that she needs to pick the hardest spot to clean in the house is the GD carpet. Then she eats her poop to hide the evidence, it stresses me out but I know she’s already a ball of anxiety so we stay calm and just woo-sah it away but I digress. These pee pads...omg has saved her from me going from bat crap crazy to “oh I’ll just toss this. No big deal.” Pee pads...keeping people from going crazy, one day at a time.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I compared to Out Odor Control brand from Wal-Mart. Amazon's cost 13¢ per pass vs Wal-Mart cheaper pad (.24¢ /pad). Shown in picture: 1 tbsp water poured onto pad. Water spread a tad more on Amazon brand. Poured 1/4 cup of water and spread was same, but water leaked through the Wal-Mart pad. Amazon pad did not leak. My vote is for the Amazon brand. We have an older pug, a finicky Chihuahua, and a 25 pd spaniel mix with our manners. The pads are used everyday, so cost and effectiveness are important."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are very basic pads. They are thick enough to hold the liquid. They do not seem to leak. they seem to keep the smell at bay as well. They are of average size. I am using these for my senior dog. She does well and will go on them when they are there for her to use. She is a medium size dog.

I didn\'t need to spray any additional scent on the pads to get him to use them. He especially liked the ones I put behind a chair for privacy. Apparently they like their privacy. And with the weather turning cold and lots of rain - these are a must. He is up to 4.9 pounds and doing wonderful. He occasionally just misses the pad so I have added an additional pad just in case. They aren\'t wasted if he doesn\'t go on them, but he has more cheering and "What a good boy" you are. We named in Peanuts'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Well, I might not be the expert but my dogs are. Two little ones. Pad trained for 10 years. I was paying around around $40 minimum a month to have two “extra large” maximum absorbancy training pads down for my two dogs. I still was having leaking around the edges, urine running underneath, never mind big white pads on my red brick sunroom floor. Well, last month I switched to these. I was running low and couldn’t find my regular pads so I decided these seemed very big (I only need one placed down now!!), inexpensive, and I liked that they were darker and had charcoal. I should have mentioned that sometimes the old white pads would end up reversed and I had a large puddle of pee running off of them. With these, even if you have poor eyesight or don’t have on those glasses you can tell which side is the absorbant one. Also, NO SMELL!!!!! I always knew when my dogs pooped as I could smell it in another room. Now, I come in and it is such a pleasant surprise not to have a room freshened by dog doo doo smell. The large boarders keep the dogs from peeing too close to the edges. I am posting pictures of this carbon pad with my old “premium”pad. I feel like this pad is far superior, soooo much less expensive, and puts much less waste in a landfill. By the way, my dogs went to using the pad without missing a beat. I have it on “Subscribe and Save” which even saves me more money. Love it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These puppy pads are a nice big size and my 4 week old puppy took to them right away. She actually never had an accident off of the pad I\'m not sure what they scent them with but whatever it is...it works! The only thing I would change would be the addition of sticky tabs on the back of the pad, in each corner. I have had pads with those type of tabs and they really help the pad stay where you put it. Fortunately my puppy didn\'t think the pads would be fun to play with, so the lack of adhesive wasn\'t a problem for us. In the picture you can see that I use a pack-n-play instead of a traditional kennel. I place the puppy pad on the right side and the puppy\'s food and bed on the left side. These pads work very well for my needs, though I do have to use two at a time since I\'m covering a large area.\nIf you have found this review helpful, please click "yes" below so that I know my taking the time to write a review is appreciated and I\'m not wasting my time.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have a 9-lb 14years old Maltese and I have trained my dog to take his business in a cardboard box since he is a baby and these pads are awesome. I have some boxes that I saved from our kitchen remodeling and I used them for this purpose. Due to the size of the box, I have to use 1 and 1/3 of the pad. I changed them once in the morning and once at night. This is the only pad I have used so far that does not leak, that's why I signed up for a monthly auto-delivery on this baby. I'll be lost if Amazon discontinue this product. This is also a good size for training dogs that likes to walk around before taking their business because these pads can give them some room."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2015', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I will be buying these again. I've tried a number of puppy pads since I have a small toy dog and am pleased to report that these do a good job of absorbing urine and affordably priced. They are not the thickest pad I have bought but they do not leak. More important than thickness to me is how the pad curbs the flow of urine. Some like the Allmax are thicker pads but the urine spreads out too much and it will reach the dog's paws before she is done. The Amazon pads inhibit the spreading better which for me is a big plus. Highly recommended. I hope this review helps a little in making your decision!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have had dogs for 8 years. I have tried several diffrent brands over the years. Only to just accept that none were leak proof, until I stumbled upon these on Amazon. I thought it could'nt hurt to try them, with the excellent reviews they have. Well, here is one more. I have 5 dogs. Yes, 5 dogs. And when it is raining out or they have to go when we are niot home, these pads keep the floor dry without soaking through. I wish I would have discovered them sooner. Anyway, the best pads to buy hands down. Great value for your money"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " Why did I buy Pet Training Pads?\nI have been using Pet Training Pads over 5 years now. I have 2 small toy dogs and they do business in the pads. When I first brought them home, it was a middle of winter where we had several feet of snow in the ground with really cold temperatures. So, I had to use the training pads. By the spring same, they both were already used to the pads. I have tried 'Training Pads' from various sources; i.e. local pet-shop, grocery stores, warehouse clubs and also few different brand name pads from Amazon.com. My 2 dogs are very spoiled. They would not use the Pad if it is dirty or wet. So, I have to change often and I used approx. 3-5 pads daily, I also don’t like to have soiled Puppy Pads lying around my house too long either. So, I purchase at least 10 boxes of 100 pads yearly, if not more.\n\nWhat am I looking for when I buy Training Pads?\nI am looking for large size to accommodate 2 dogs, made for good absorbent and leak free from the overflow at side of the pads.\n\nWhy did I buy this “AmazonBasics” Pet Training Pads?\nOne of the advertising photo shows AmazonBasics Pads 5 layer design, especially 3rd layer caught my eyes. It’s Polymer Core that turns liquid to Gel. Also size (28x34) is large enough for what I am looking for. I am new to AmazonBasics products, so I didn't know if quality will be good or not. But, I like the Amazon policy enough, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If product is bad quality or didn't work out, I know Amazon will guarantee for refund. It’s risk free.\n\nHow is the quality of this pads?\nIn my 5 years buying Pet Training Pads (use average about 100 pads/monthly), I tried many brand name pads, various sizes and different price range. So, I know the quality when I see one. When I order this “Amazon Basics” Pet Training pads, I didn’t know how good it would work. What I saw and read online advertisement for this product looks good, but I wasn’t sure if it will hold the liquid as it said it would.\nWhen I opened the box and I spread out the one of the pad. I can feel its quality. It’s almost like I am holding the cloth quilted pad and not disposable pad. It feels thick, and have cushion, but it is firm too.\nAs advertised, it holds liquid well. When liquid hits the pad, it goes down and spread at the bottom layers rather than spread at the top surface. So, my dogs like this. The surface is dryer than the other ones that I have been used.\n\nDo I recommend this to other Pet Training Pad users?\nYes, I would recommend this to anyone without any hesitation. At least try once and see it yourself.\n\nAny cons?\nI can’t think of any yet.\n\nSummary: This is the best quality Pet Training Pads I ever used in my 5 years of using the puppy pads and I will be buying this pads from now on. Each pads price isn’t the lowest, but it has good absorption, thus, it saves money in a long run."}]
