| Question about pee pads This is a gross question but when do you guys throw away your pee pads? They are kind of expensive and I hate throwing one away if Tobie only peed on a small spot in the corner of the pad. Obviously if it's number 2, I can just pick it up and flush it. Any suggestions?

| I personally dont use pee pads, but my best friend does, and her dog will go on them several times before they need to be tossed. They usually do not smell, and are fine for a bit.

| I use to use disposables, and would let my dogs go several times before tossing them out. However,they are not environmentally friendly, so changed to the washables about a month ago, and love them!! |

| I used to cut the corners off when it was right on the edge. In the UK, we have some biodegradable ones, but I'm interested in re-usable ones - can you tell me more? Thanks |

| I use washable pads called Pish Pads. I got them online. Pish Pads They seemed a bit high when I first looked at them but it really works out better than buying the disposable ones. They wash up great and do not leak. |

| Cutting the corner off is a good idea. I didn't know they had washable ones... I'm going to have to check those out. Can you find them in petsmart or only online?

| I got a giant box of 300 pads on valuepetsupplies.com for $40. So I feel like I practiaclly have a lifetime supply. I don't think I'll feel too bad throwing them out after a couple uses.

| Bailey uses his until it's full, BUT if HE feels it's too full he will miss. Bailey is a very clean boy and does not like a messy piddle pad. I took am interested in the washable piddle pads. I'm not trying to be rude (just trying to gather information) isn't it gross when you wash them with your other clothes? How big are the washable ones? Do you have to re-train them to go on the washable ones? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just interested in them...

| If I keep the tootsie rolls cleaned off the pad, Mayzie will use it several times. Mo goes outside.
