Hartz Home Protection Super Absorbent Odor Eliminating No Leaks Dog Pads, 50 Count

My senior kitty started to, uh, miss the litter box. I was cleaning the area rug ALL the time. Not cursing at her because she is my sweet pea, but very overwhelmed at the frequent chore. I saw a commercial for puppy pads and wondered, would those work? Would she use them or avoid them? To my delight, my kitty used them. I purchased both the unscented and scented. So here's the deal on these pads, they ARE leakproof, that is a fact. They DO convert the liquid to a gel - not sure how, I think it's a pee fairy's waving of a magical wand. These have saved me hours of carpet cleaning. The scented version is supposed to be lavender - smells so bad. I prefer the unscented, a scent is not necessary.

This brand, either scented or unscented has proven to be the best in terms of absorbency and length of time it can last. Most cheaper pads are done with just one or two uses because the liquid spreads so far. These keep the liquid in a small area and keep your floor protected from damage. These are a few bucks more but are well worth it. They last 5x longer and you use so many less. These pads do a good job at keeping liquid on the pad and not underneath it when your pet doesn’t have perfect aim and gets too close to the edge of the pad. Sometimes it still happens and there’s some cleanup, but 95% of the time you are well protected. Dogs who have to be left inside during the day can use these until parents come home to let them out. Great for overnight emergencies, when your pet is sick and is going frequently, or for senior dogs who struggle with mobility issues. All 3 of my chihuahuas were easily trained to use these when we are unavailable to take them outside. We also had a senior dachshund who used them and she did well with them too. These pads are easily to pack for trip’s and they fit in small storage spaces whilst still providing adequate space for your babies to go potty. I use multiple of these at once and overlap the pads so there are no leaks since we have 3 dogs who use them sometimes. These are the only pads we’ve bought over the past 10 years or so and I tried about 10 brands that were no match to these. Buy with confidence!

These pads are truly leak proof for my 14lb. Bichon. The others I’ve tried left the carpet underneath damp and smelly. My dog used them right away without trying to train her so I would guess the attractant works. I woul recommended them.

My puppy goes on the pad at least twice, by the third time she gets a corner. These pads are worth the price. They're thin and light but soaks up the liquid real quick with no paw tracks. No leakage after a few hours for puppy standards. No pee pad is corner leak proof so it's the aiming of the puppy that determines a leak. Great on hardwood with no adhesives.

My long-haired dachshund started getting little dreads on her belly after we started using these, took me a while to figure out but I finally realized that the fibers in this paper causes tiny little dreads, so I’ve gone back to my old cheaper brand, which I have to double up but it’s worth it in saving her the trauma of dealing with the dreads. Also they are a bit small. 21”X21” is an inch smaller on all sides than most papers, so my pup just barely managed to stay within the paper. I kind of regret buying 2 packs but Amazon delivers them right to my 2 story walk up, so I’m sure Cozy will adjust. She’s a good girl. There is absolutely no sign of “gelling” so I still layer 2 papers on a sheet of heavy plastic runner. I will say that the P doesn’t run over the sides so maybe they do have better absorbency. Just wish they were a bit bigger. If you have a short haired dog it shouldn’t be any problem, and they are pretty absorbent and the paper is kind of soft and fuzzy. Would not recommend for long haired dogs.

I have tried several different pee pads for my dog, and these are the best. When my dog uses a pee pad, the pee runs off and on to the concrete since I use them in my garage. Because these are gel pads, the pee stays in once place. So happy I found these, and now my dogs feet stay cleaner, and she doesn't track the pee everywhere from her feet. Definitely recommend

I have been buying the AKC pads for my four small dogs for 6 years. I have bought (to my horror) several hundred boxes of the pads according to the Amazon history. I thought using pee pads would be a great idea because I work long hours and I had planned to eventually downsize to a condo. Worst decision ever. I now have dogs that refuse to pee on grass, and I’ve never downsized. But I digress… Amazon has been out of the AKC brand so I decided to give this brand a try. When I pulled them out I laughed at the pathetically thin pads that look like tissue paper. Well the joke is on me. My dogs have put these pads to the test and not once have any of the pads leaked onto the tile. The AKC pads look far superior but the pee takes longer to soak in which can sometimes lead to urine leaking off the pads. This has not happened with the Hartz pads. I really can’t believe it. I didn’t think something this thin could soak up pee. Because the pads are thin, I have used them on my Swiffer XL to mop up water spills in my mud room. The XL pads are pricey but I don’t use it often so these pads are a great substitute for a quick mop up. They don’t tear apart which tells me the pads are stronger than they look. The dogs don’t seem to care which brand I use. They go to the “pad spot” and use anything laying there. If your dog is picky or wary of noises, these pads do make a little sound like tissue paper when they are walked on. It’s a slight noise…not enough to make them mistake the pads as something to destroy. I have one dog that just loves toys with a crinkle sound so was a bit worried but she hasn’t tried to shred them. I may continue using this brand even though the price is slightly higher than the $23 I was paying for 150 AKC pads. The fast absorbency has so far surpassed the two brands I tried other than AKC (Amazon basics and Wee). Also note: The AKC 100 package are not the same quality as the AKC 150 pads in a box. They are awful. I might as well let the dogs pee on the tile and mop it up. Do not buy the AKC 100 unless you are trying to ruin your floors!

Not sure if I got a bad batch, but they leak right through.
