I usually buy item 222-2732, they are 30"x32" for $4.95. They are very nice and very absorbent. They are not as pretty as the custom ones that some people buy but they are very affordable. For those that don't like the white you can lay a pretty towel over them. For my boys I will sit a jug in the middle of them so they have something to hike their legs on.

hehehe I used to put a toy size orange cone in the middle of mine to get my boy to pee-pee on pad. It worked. Also wanted to note I look around at yard sales and get the baby bed padding to put under the pads too, just to make sure nothing goes through.

Where did you find the toy size orange cones? I love going to garage sales. I am always buying towels and bedding from garage sales and the Goodwill stores in our area.

I believe I got the cones from that dollar section at Target.
I think they come with 4 or 6. Yes I love the garage sales and Goodwill. I have also purchased baby blankets and baby comfortors for my yorkies. I have gotten some very nice stuff too.

I am talking about within minutes of me changing them. I have sprayed them(the pads not the puppies) with bitter apple. I have put them(the puppies this time) in time outs....I have even swatted their little butts! If they happen to leave the pad long enough to do any business on it...this is no deterrent to shredding later. Then I not only have shreded pads, pee and poo to clean, but my girls then need baths!!! Not to mention the house stinks!! I have purchased the holders for them (believe me I have tried many things). Nothing works for long. So now I am ready to buy the washable pee pads. Can anyone tell me how well they work? AND where can I find them? I am going a little nuts!

Pee Pads are easy to make. You can use old sheets with towel backing or anything that you were going to discard. for thos of you who bought the Holders for the pads. They can still be used with the homemade pee pads.

I would love to make my own washable pee pads. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the bottom is made of. I have been using washables for a few years now and love them.

I get mine from Personally paws website.
I have been using the same pads for over 4 years and they are still in great condition!
Well worth the investment!!!

I get mine from her site too, but I wanted to do a winter project. Thought I'd make some of my own. I love hers.

I dont know what it is made of but they get washed every week in bleach & detergent and still look great!

with 5 girls, i use the washable pads that are used in the hospitals. I bought them on ebay. They are big and have the waterproof bottoms and soft cloth on top. They can be cremated in the wash every week and they still work. I know some lose their waterproofness if they don't use a good PUL fabric. That is the waterproof fabric that is needed.
If you pull up washable pee pads on ebay you will get a ton of the washable ones. I think i got 12 for $25. They are heavy duty and I have had mine for about 3 years now and have had no issues with them leaking.
Highly recommend the washable to the disposable.
Here's an example of the ones i have:
They are 15 for $19 + $18 s/h but that is still cheap for 15. These pads weigh 1.5 lbs. each so that box will be heavy!

I just got a dozen more for xmas. They work great. I do use bleach and detergent too when I wash them. I think the bottom of my pads get a little torn from the bleach after having them for a long time though. I don't think your suppose to use bleach, but I have too. It's the only thing that makes the stains and odor go away.

Good Idea

Thank you all for this! I five puppies in training and had tried a grass mat for my two adults. Neither took to it, but after picking up chewed pieces of the pads in the puppies home, I put the grass mat in their puppy pad. They love it - but I still need an alternate source and am going o order some washable pads today.

I love pishpads I have used them for 3 years. They wash and dry well and no odor. The only place I see that sells them is inthecompanyofdogs.com

Salembev · 01-09-2011, 03:34 PM

I jus placed an order - they were not in the inventory at any of my major name or local mom and pop pe stores which is to bad. Disposable puppy pads should be he trend.Bu of course - the other companies who sell the disposable will soon be out of business. I think the cost effect far outweighs having one puppy who illiminates at minimum, 10 times per day until 'full grown' - for me times 5 plus 2 and that's a lot of doodoo and pee (even though puppy poo is tiny and so cute).

I'm thinking about using washable pee pads, but I would think they would make your washing machine stink of pee? My boy's pee is fairly non-stinky but I don't want my other clothes to get contaminated by it in the washer.
