Arm & Hammer Pee Pads - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jvdb · 05-17-2010, 07:52 AM

Has anyone used them? I can't stand the smell that some pee pads leave even after a few hours. I've been googling these and it seems that most people like them. What are your thoughts?

Also, anyone know where I can get them in Canada?

I use them for Wall-e and they have a slight odor like baking soda when you first unfold them, but otherwise can't smell them until it's time for a new one. I get mine at Target here in California. I can never find them anywhere else.

Thats what I am currently using. They work fine. But they too still need to be changed after a few potties. But my little guy tends to tear and drag the disposable ones so I am looking into buying washable potty pads now.

They smell fresh to me. They are also much cheaper than a lot of other store brands. The only thing I don't like is how thin they are. Rudy has one in her crate incase she has an accident during the night. I change it after it is soiled once. I buy mine from Target.

I used to use disposable, and the Arm & Hammer were ones I tried. I thought they smelled the best, but Addie and Mia loved to tear them up (any brand), so now I use washable piddle pads. The washable ones will have an odor if it is used, but I just throw it in the washer with a bit of detergent and bleach, hang to air dry and it's good as new.

RDB911 has washable pads with something called 'halo shield' in them. you wash them with detergent and bleach, use absolutely no fabric softener. they do not smell, even after heavy usage. Seriously

We had a pee-tracking problem with the Arm & Hammer pads. The boys would make a little spot and a moment later it would look like a lake on the pad and they would step in it and track it onto the flooring.

I prefer other brands and I change the pads often, very often, to avoid smell.

I use the Natures Miracle pads, I get them at Petsmart... I think they are the best, I have used many brands and I love these ones the best. They dont leak or smell!!

I'm pretty sure I've seen them at Walmart.

I'm always on the hunt for better pads. We didn't like the washable route, but I know many swear by them.
I need thicker, more absorbent pads, but at a reasonable price. We are using the 101 dalmation pads right now and the price is good, but they are thin!

TresCutePiggies · 05-17-2010, 02:41 PM

We get ours at Target. I have never seen them anywhere else. I do think they smell "fresh" or as fresh as a pee pad can smell.

Shiloh B · 05-17-2010, 03:38 PM

I have used the Arm and Hammer before, they were ok but not great. I now use the Nature's Miracle Ultra Lock, they are quilted so no tracking or smell. I usually change the pad twice a day sometimes three.

mollyandabbey · 05-17-2010, 04:49 PM

We didn't care for them at all. They "puddle up" and cause tracking as others have mentioned. Any disposable pad needs to be changed often.

ArmaniMan · 05-17-2010, 04:55 PM

I used them for a short time and didnt like them, after trying so many different brands, I realized that they all need to be changed often.... I end up using 6-8 a day.

I now buy the ones from Ryan, another YT member... they are priced very well and never have those thin spots that some other brands have.
