Washable Pads Never considered doing a washable pee pad until reading all the posts on the board tonight. Do they not get messy? Hard to clean? Stinky? I might like to try this idea. How much are they, and where can I order them? Thanks!!! |
I've used them in the past. I got mine from Petco. It cost about 20 dollars per pad. It was very convenient and I didn't have to worry about coming home to shredded pee pads when I would leave my pup in a small gated area. They didn't smell because I didn't let it get to that point. I washed them frequently, but I only had 2 so i had to wash one everyday. And also, I think there is some kind of 'material' in them that absorbs the smell, so you won't smell it that much. I did notice an odor sometimes, but not as bad as you might think. It's definitely something I would use again. |
I use them an LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I have a website that does "refurbed" hospital pads and they are the absolute best! I haven't had to order new ones in 3 years now. I use bleach and detergent to wash them and they always come out smelling fresh and clean. You'd never know they're used as a potty! Let me see if I can find the site (best prices and quality I've found anywhere! truly a steal!) and I'll post it for ya! I'm a convert. I'll NEVER go back to disposable pads ever again! |
https://www.odcmerchandise.com/ Hope you're as happy with them as I am! I just can't rave enough about the quality and price of this company! In the summer, I save some $$ by drying them outside because with 4 yorkies I am washing and drying a lot of them. lol It's so much better (and cheaper) in the end though than continually buying ones that you throw away and end up in a landfill. |
I guess I should point out it's the Pet Pads that are 2/pack @ $5/pack. Best deal/quality you'll find. I searched tons of sights before I settled on them. |
I have been using washable potty pads for several years. I wash them in homemade laundry soap and use white vinegar in both the wash and rinse. They come out smelling fresh and clean. |

So if i have one yorkie, how many do i buy and how often do you wash them? Curious...im thinking of switching over as well, I tried getting Lexi to pee outdoors but I think it's just more confusing so i may just keep her potty trained indoors. |
Only down side I have found to the washable pads are mine seemed to start going on the rugs or anything else laying in the floor. With 3 kido's alot laying in the floor here..lol |
I have no issues with my dogs peeing on rug - it's a training issue - and our dogs know to use the pads and not other things. The key I believe is keeping the pads in the same locations. I love using pads - we make them and sell them and therefore I use them all the time both on my home and for travel. I offer a 20% YT discount on all items for YT members. |

I love washable pads! When I launder them, I put baking soda in the wash. They come out fresh and clean! :) |
I received one in my GE box from my buddy made by 107Barney (T.Bumpkins & Co.). I am beyond thrilled with the quality and size. My dogs are trained to go outdoors, but we have days where our schedule is off, or heaven forbid....it rains! On those days they will use the potty pad. I will be ordering more in the future, I like it so much. So excited to not buy those ugly disposable ones any more!! |
I didn't want to use washable pads just as I didn't want to use washable diapers for my skin kids. I have to tell you I started to use these washable pads for my 4 babies and I LOVE THEM!!! I have saved so much money by using them. I bought 4 for my babies and I wash them every other day. If it is a nice day I put them outside to dry. Otherwise I just throw them in the dryer. They really have held up. I just wash with regular laundry soap. I wash them alone of course. Usually I throw 2 of them in at a time. I just pick up the poop that is on them when they poop. Pick up two or so and try them :thumbup: |
I use them under the disposable pads. Even though it is more expensive, with 4 dogs using them an done an old male I have to change disposable pads 2 x a day. But change the washable ones every other day as they do miss sometimes and go on the washable pads. |
The only problem I have with ordering there is that the shipping is more than the product if I order 4 pads and the more I order the higher the shipping. I hate paying more for shipping that for what I bought. |
