Super Soft Absorbent washable puppy pee pad?!

Pic for puppy tax! 😍

We’re nearly there with house training, but would like her to be trained to go on a wee mat.

Currently using one of these:
2 Pcs Washable Pee Pads for... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CT3J2K21?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

But don’t buy one as they’re useless and don’t actually absorb any pee, it just puddles on the surface.

Puppy loves soft dog beds and blankets to pee on, so hoping I can find something absorbent, soft, padded, washable and small please!

Online you really can’t tell, despite googling, so hoping for recommendations. Thank you.

It is true. You’re still teaching them to pee inside. Most people want their dogs to pee outside. So don’t use pads. I wouldn’t want my dogs using my home as a toilet. Not even on a pad. It’s grim.

Whilst a dog is learning to wait to wee outside, it's better they wee on a mat then on the floor. 16 weeks is when my dog was toilet trained by and he's nearly 4. Since 16 weeks old, he's never used the home as a toilet, just the garden.

Maybe a rubber backed bath mat? Or do the pee pads have to have some kind of special material to absorb smell?

Yeah, the smell is designed to encourage puppies to toilet on them rather than on the floor.

As you can see they're quite controversial though Grin

Generally they're not something I would recommend (I work with dogs) but there are definitely situations where pads or indoor toilets come into their own.

Lots of narrow minded comments here from people who think there's only one way to "do" dog ownership.

It's actually very common for dogs to be trained to pee/poo in specific inside seas for all kinds of reasons - apartment buildings will even have purpose built doggy "toilet" areas in some places.

OP - instead of using pads why not invest in one of those indoor toilets with fake grass? They're fairly portable and easy to clean and you don't have to worry about spillages.

Something like this:

They were the ones I'd seen!

Washable bed incontinence pads are probably your best bet. That's what I used with mine

I can vouch for these, which we used with our old springer when she got a bit leaky in her old age: www.jacobsden.co.uk/the-wet-dog-mat.html
