Does anyone use reusable puppy pads??? I am thinking about getting some reusable puppy pads. I am currently spending atleast $60 a month for just pads. So I figured if I could get 14 reusable pads, I would be saving money as I could just reuse them. So does anyone know where I can get reusable puppy pads at a good price, I don't have alot to spend on just one pad as I need more than that. Also, to those of you that have used the reusable pads, do they work well?? I have seen alot of reusable pads that look like blankets. I don't want my dogs to end up going on actual blankets because they thought it was their pad, so how would they know the difference?? Are you happy with using the reusable pads and do they work well and wash up nicely?? Thank You to anyone that can help!!!! |
Hi, Yes I have bought 1 reusable pad and it does work well.....they go on it and it washes nicely. I only bought 1 though because it was like $22.00. so I have been using the disposible ones and that one. |
I bought several when I first got Joey (rip, little joey!), but I still use them in Phoebe's pen, which sits on my carpet. Supposedly they are infused with an attractant that makes the dog want to pee there... I wouldn't say she's pee pad trained, though. We mostly take her outside and just have the pads in there for when I have to leave her for awhile. I think I got them at Petsmart online.... but not sure. I know I researched to find the cheapest place. They are costly, but they wash up nicely and the scent is supposed to last through lots of washings. BTW, before Joey passed, he was using the pads effectively.. smart little bugger. He would search out the pad. I think it's because the breeder started pad training before I got him. We haven't worked with Phoebe that way, but I think the pads work great if you train like that. I'll try to figure out where I got the pads. deb |
www.pishpad.com tell them I sent you, lol! |
I bought 300 pads for $40 (including shipping) at ebay. That's a good option too! |

We purchased from www.piddlepads.com and have been very pleased. We bought a dozen almost a year ago and are still using them. They wash great!! Our girls have a doggy door and are trained to go outside, but we leave these washable pads down when we are done and the girls use them without a problem....we bought plaid ones and worried if the girls would get confused....but we have the pad down in the same place everyday and the girls know that is where they should go. Our floors are the wood laminate, but we have a large rug in the living room and 99% of the time we do not have problems. (And most of the time the 1% is when they are mad at us for something!!) |
The pishpad sound great but omg! that price!!! |
I've bought 3 rolls of the stuff and it's great....I just try not to think about the money....but it's probably one of the cheaper dog investments anyway. |
They sell the pish pads on ebay also. What about using diaper pads? |
I used to use the Pish Pads but after many washings the felt started pulling away from the plastic backing. I've been using the Piddle Pads for months now and I LOVE them. They are quilted and wash and dry beautifullly. They will last much longer than the Pish Pads. I bought a dozen of the larger Piddle Pads because I have two dogs usings them each day. I have one pad placed in two different locations in my kitchen. My dogs know that they are to do their business in those locations only (although they do have an occasional accident). Paper wee wee pads are good but the piddle pads will wind up being way less expensive in the long run and much better for the enviornment. |
Too expensive for me :( I got wee wee pads one time and my pup wouldn't even use them. I guess the carpet was softer for him lol. |

I've been using baby crib pads (2 for $10) and they work great. Just throw them in the wash and they look brand new. |

WOW! what a great idea!!! I never thought of that...Of course my skin baby is 23 yrs old! You could actually cut it in half,sew around the edges and have 2 of them... Probably easier than "stealing" from the hospital lol Thanks! |
Just bought 24 of the washable ones on Ebay from a seller named mmfabrics. They were reclaimed from a hospital. They are very large and thick, quality is great, no stains, no tears and they have been perfect for my new litter of puppies. I paid $68.00 for 24 which included shipping. |
How do those "washable pads" work ? Do you use a diaper pail and soak them first before tossing them into the washer?They have to have their own seperate washer/dryer cycles adding wear on both those machines. Hmmmmmmm, I can see $$$ for extra loads of wash, including electric or gas also water and sewer bills added to the cost of the washable pads...... Just wondering if they are worth it with all factors involved. |
Definitely require their own wash and dry cycle, but I don't soak first. The ones I bought are very durable and will hold up to many washings. I also like the fact that since they are so heavy they remain flat and don't get moved around in the pen. I don't know if it would be a big savings on an adult dog, but it is for a litter of puppies. My adults have a doggy door so I don't use pads with them. I've been changing the puppies' pads a hundred times a day so they don't step in poo or try to eat it. Also if you're environmentally conscious, you won't be adding to the landfill. I just had my first grandchild and my daughter is cloth diapering. I spent a fortune on cloth diapers, but she hasn't had any rashes and since you're not worried about the expense of disposable diapers they change her every time she is barely wet. The diapers seem to be holding up well and I think they will be able to be used for future grandchildren. |
I think I found something to make them with also will let you know if it works. |
HURRAY for Cloth Diapers, :thumbup: I used them on my 3 human babies. Long after they were out of diapers, they were still be used for cleaning and polishing. That would be a great idea to sew up some of those, but what would be on the underside to catch the wetness ? They might be a little shifty to walk on, don't know? I don't think those plastics are very envirmental friendly.:thumbdown Those crib pads sound like a way to go, Thanks for the tip ! Maybe can buy them in some stores with my "senior citizen" discount too. :D |
I agree with cloth diaper when I finally realized my granddaughter was here to stay I didn't walk I ran to go get cloth diaper. |
I use them and get them from valethics.com You can get reclaimed pads for as low as 2.95 each. The ones I buy cost me around 3.45 each and are the best value for the money. I even use them in the whelping boxes. I think it was yorkierose that clued me in on them Here's the link to the reclaimed page, you can, of course buy new from them also. http://valethics.com/buy-recl-pads.htm |
Pooch Pad are Great I bought 10 pooch pads size x-tra large from "dog.com". They were about $24 each, but they are fabulous. You can wash them each 365 times without wear. I found "oops pads" for only $10 each, and they are terrible. They don't hold the peepee. They even have now, "mature dog pooch pads" which hold 3 times more liquid. I have 2 boys, and one drinks to excess (healthy, though). When he pees, it's like human tinkles, a huge puddle. I was spending a fortune on disposable pads. They went thru about 20 a day! I double up the pooch pads, and only have to change them 3 times a day. Pooch pads even makes beds. They have their own website. A quality product. |

I bought the new ones from there as well...the small ones. I spent about $30.00 for 10 of them. I have used them since I brought Fergie home in December. They look great, barely any wear on them! And, your puppy can't tear them up like pee pads! I am sure that the one extra load of laundry each week is a fraction of what it would cost to keep buying the disposible ones. I also throw in some baking soda when I wash them to keep them smelling fresh. But they don't stain or look gross at all! Jessica |

Love the washable piddle pads! :animal36 I LOVE the washable piddle pads...we also bought some from www.piddlepads.com and haven't had any issues--the plaid ones are perfect....I have oriental rugs and wall to wall carpeting on the second floor of the house and my yorkie has never mistaken the carpets for the piddle pads...she's pretty consistent and uses the piddle pads...I bought the foster and smith pad holders which have worked out great! I think in the long run it will save money---I highly recommend them! Plus, the yorkies can't shred them when you are gone! Another good thing is you don't see the stains upon entry into the room...it looks neater overall! |
i use these...http://store.poochpad.com/ they seem to be working great so far, i got mine from pet smart. |
ok i have a question about these....how's the smell on the cloth pads? I would think it would just reek of pee everytime I walked in the house. |

If you change the cloth pads once a day you won't have any issues with odors. I have 2 dogs and 2 large pads in my kitchen. I change them once each morning and have never had any problems with smells. Sometimes I have to change them twice in a day in they have an excessive 'pee pee' day. I just throw them in the wash in their own cycle. They wash up beatuifully and last a long, long time. |
