Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This was my first time buying washable potty pads and I'm glad I did. I've had these for 3 months now and they've saved me a lot of stress. I have two rescue dogs. One is a miniature poodle that is not capable of being potty trained due to abuse, neglect and trauma he experience as a breeder dog over the first 6 years of his life while locked away in a small cage in a puppy mill. He's scared of everything and will not eat, run around or potty in front of me. This means that when he pees on days where I'm home from work, he holds his pee all day and finally lets loose in his "bedroom" when he can't hold it anymore. Thats a lot of urine. Disposal potty pads weren't cutting it whatsoever no matter what size or brand I used. To make matters worse, his adopted 14 year old miniture cockapoo sister cannot hold her bladder for more than two hours. When I arrived home from work after 8 hours away, their room was like this: 6-8 soaked potty pads that over flowed (even when i overlapped them) and soaked into my wood floors which stained them and caused them to smell like urine, the dogs would walk through the pee which of course got pee on their fur and anything else they laid on/touched and the sticky pads on the bottom of the disposal potty pads would not release from the floor, therefore, they would tear when I went to get them off the floor and the sticky tabs would still be stuck all over the floor. I began to tape down clear shower curtains to the floor in their room to avoid anymore damage to the floor but with the potty pads still over flowing, I had to mop every morning and every time I got home from work (they stay in their room while I'm at work or sleeping). It was so frustrating and I even started to regret adopting them. It was $25 for a box of 100 potty pads and I had to get a box at least every week and a half. With two jobs my income is still pretty limited and going through so many potty pads (that werent even getting the job done) was getting expensive. At the rate i was going through them, i also knew it was creating a lot of enviromental waste. I came across washable potty pads on Amazon, read reviews and figured I had nothing more to lose so I ordered them. Omg, it was one of the best things I have ever bought. BUY THEM, you won't regret it. I put down two (one for each dog) and I change them out every 2 days. I still keep the shower curtains on the floor but only because my male dog sometimes goes to pee on just the corner of the potty pad and he misses. His aim isn't the best. The pads hold up GREAT! The floor underneath is always dry, the pad never leaks urine, the urine smell is a fraction of what it was with the disposal ones (it doesn't really smell at all till I get home on day 2), they wash up beautifully (zero smell and after 3 months of washing, even with bleach, the fabric has not faded), urine does not pool on top of the pad and I no longer have to wash my dogs, their bedding or the floor constantly because of how well these pads work. I've worked in multiple nursing homes and these pads are of better quality than the soaker pads that residents use. They have saved me $100's. Its so nice to walk in the house now from work and spend time with my dogs instead of spending all that time cleaning up after them.
