My pup pees and poos on the same pad. I agree with Little Bit though, after so many pees, he won't pee on it anymore....it often depends on the placement of the pee on the pad. If there isn't a good size area clear to pee on, he will go off of the pad.
I haven't tried the litter because the pee pads work great. I use the disposable type pee pads because it is a quick and easy clean up and I don't want the chore of washing them....I can't even keep up with my own laundry. Hee!
I hope that helps. Good Luck!
