I soooo wanted to like these puppy pads. They were just the right size for my 3 lb Maltese & contained TWICE as many pads as my usual brand but cost only $2 more. What a bargain! Not! We've used around 15 of them so far & they've ALL failed.
* The manufacturer indicates the pads can hold up to a cup of liquid without leaking. They even have several videos on the internet showing people pouring a cup of blue liquid onto the pad, then immediately folding up the pad to reveal a perfectly dry floor. Well I don't know about everyone else but I can rarely dispose of a pad immediately after my dog pees. In my experience, the liquid eventually spreads through the entire pad, over the edges and, yes, onto the floor in less than 30 minutes.
* The cellulose fill is VERY thin and is even non-existent in some spots. That's right. There are bare spots in the middle or at the edges of some of the pads. When I hold it up to the light, I can clearly see through to the back liner.
* Speaking of the liner...the manufacturer calls it a "leak proof plastic backing". I'd go only so far as to use the term "leak-RESISTANT". It's not leak-proof when there are holes or tears in it. At least two of the pads had small tears in the liner right out of the box. Two more liners were torn when they scooted across my SMOOTH bathroom floor tiles. And one was my own fault -I caught the liner on my chipped fingernail.
* I'm not happy with the top layer either. There's no quilting to help channel the liquid. It feels like it's nothing more than a generic facial tissue.
* The pads are so thin that even a slight breeze (my ceiling fan, my air filter, even closing a door) will scatter them across the floor. My poor pup shouldn't have to search for his pad because a puff of air mysteriously blew it under the bed. But I should have realized how thin they were when I received the shipment. The box of 300 pads was slightly SMALLER than the box of 150 pads of my usual brand.
I'd love to get my money back or better yet, get a free box of my usual brand to replace these. I guess that can't happen because my husband already recycled the shipping box & I really don't want to spend any more money to return them to Amazon. But perhaps this review will help someone else to decide whether you are willing to accept a lower quality puppy pad in exchange for saving some cash. I know I'm not.

My first impression was that this pad was very cheap, because they are so thin, comparing with the neat n dry that i use with my maltese, well got because of the price i tough that worth the try, isnt perfect but does the job, with the neat n dry or with the Richell paw one i change the pad just once a day this one i have to change 2 or 3 times taking away my saving, but i just change more oftem because the urine doesnt dry out like the other 2 brands n since my maltese is a puppy and uses the pad more often i preferer to have the pad neat n dry to avoid accidents, and also because doesnt absorve fast my maltese ends up with the paw completely wet with pee. If you are looking for a quality product...sorry isnt this one.

The pads themselves are very good, hold the urine very well and seem to dry quickly, but this item too small for my 7 lb chihuahua, I actually had to use two to be sure she did not go outside the pad area. Next time I will order the larger size pad. I recommend this item highly and I found the price to be cheaper than anywhere I looked.

I bought these for my 4lb poodle who stays indoors while I'm at work. These are fine for one tinkle or two tiny tinkles but I have to clean the floor under the pad every day. I now use 2 pads which defies the purpose of buying less expensive pads. I will go back to my previous brand after I use 300 of these (ugh).

We have two small chichi's and these pads seem to do the job well enough. It's kind of like toilet paper, you buy it with the intention of using it and then throwing away, so you try to spend as little as possible. This is the first time I've ordered such a thing online, and it was much more cost effective than buying locally.
