We have a medical supply store here in town and I picked up several of them there but I'll buy my next ones on ebay. The printed tops look nice but I like the white tops so if there's any change in urine, stool, heat cycles or whatever I can see it and it won't be hidden by a printed fabric top. I use the 24 by 35 for out in the living room and the smaller (chair pad) size for in their kennels and they fit perfect.

As for washing them...I run a empty load of hot water with bleach after I wash the pads but once I get moved to a bigger home I'll have an extra washer for doggie items.

This what I will do also. Run a cycle after the wash to make sure all is sanitary!!!! Thank you Ronda

I am SOOOOOOOOO glad to hear that I can use such a thing. The money I spend for the pads is redeculious. They seem to not want to use it when it gets wet and I am changing them ALOT.

This information is a God send for me!!! I checked out that site to order Reclaimed Pads and I am going to order some of them immediately!!!

I will be able to sleep well tonight!!!!!!

How can I say thank you enough!!!! Ronda, Harley and Sophia

yeah, i think that as long as you bleach them, there is really nothing to worry about. I just used one for the first time today and really am pleased. i can't find any holes or stains in any of the ones i bought...so I am totally happy!!!!

when we start having puppies, I will probably be buying lots and lots of these LOL

good luck!!!

We tried taping our paper ones down too for a while. But then they just scratched at the center until they got it torn up anyway.

Good Luck and HANG IN THERE. It will get better - PROMISE!

Thank YOU!!! Your little baby is soooooooo cute!! Ronda

I'm doing a transition from wee wee pads (in a holder) to the washables. Just bought the x-larges ones of ebay new and I'm putting them on the pen floor with the wee pads in holder on top. It's working great! No more messes from 'misses' due to lifting his leg. We'll see how that goes before I completely stop using the wee pads. The washables are great and wash up nicely!!!

Wrigley has never really torn up pads, but she would sometimes miss or some would get on the floor. So we now use the dog litter box, but we use pads not the litter in it and it works great!

my girls went thru "shred the pee pad" stages,, i bought a pad frame,, it worked fairly well,,but for the PITA it was to change a pad out,, they all outgrew the shredder phase here,, fairly quickly,, and recently ,,with 3 yorkies now,, i felt the need to "go green",, and bought reusable puppy pads from a YTer,, Littlebit,, and am most pleased with them,, bought 4,, all are holding up very well, and never have leaked thru,, and i like colorful patterns,, looks much better laying out to me

Pepper is trained to go outside by me, but at the breeder she was pee pad trained. needless to say every throw rug in my house was a pee pad. I had used the washable pee pads for another dog and they work wonderful. For when hubby and I are both at work I leave down the pee pads so just in case she can't hold it she has somewhere to go and she has very few problems. I got mine from little bit as well

I have tryed the dog litter and the cat litter. Harley will NOT use it at all. Sophia would use the puppy litter. They both eat the puppy litter and they RIP like they are at the beach in the cat litter. What a mess. LOL

So, Puppy pads it is. Thank goodness for this site and the information on the washable pads!!!!!!!!!

I am sure it will look better also. I do not like how the pads show so much. These will be much much better. I sure wish I knew this A lot sooner. The throw away ones are sooooooo expensive. I felt like I was buying diapers all over again. Thank you all for this WONDERFUL site!!! Yippieee
