It was only a few cents extra so I went for it. In total I think it cost me around $50 extra for the special padding. It really works. Bailey has been having some incontinence problems lately and the pad keeps all of the urine in the carpet which I can clean versus the pad which I can't.
The owner of the store where we bought our flooring from also mentioned this. He also has some new carpet we are considering that you can clean with bleach - no matter what color it is!
