The Best Puppy Pads for Absorbing Pee
How We Evaluated
As I tested different pads, I learned that the cheapest option isn’t always the most affordable—flimsy pads need to be replaced more often—and not all expensive pads are worth the cost. Also, your pup may be attracted to certain brands more than others, especially those that have a built-in attractant or have a distinctive texture. You may need to try different pads until you find the one that works for your pup. These are the best puppy pads I recommend for keeping your home clean without blowing your budget.
Though they’re low-cost, Pet All Star Training Pads are higher in quality than other budget disposables, absorbing up to two cups of liquid per pad. They’re suitable for most breeds, though you’ll need to use more than one per day for medium to large dogs. They have a puddle-wicking top sheet to keep paws dry, an absorbent core with a built-in odor neutralizer, and leakproof bottom liner. There’s a built-in attractant to aid training.
Made up of five layers that include a gel-forming polymer, odor-absorbing activated charcoal, and a leak-proof polyethylene-liner, Glad Activated Charcoal Training Pads quickly absorb puddles and neutralize odors so your pup gets multiple uses per pad. The activated charcoal also eliminates unsightly yellow spots on pads that are slightly used but not ready to be replaced. These also contain a pheromonal attractant so your pup knows where to “go.”
