Would you be so kind as to provide the exact web address as I can only locate a fresh pets food site. Thanks so much.

The washable ones are great if you have a front loader wash machine. They don't use near the water a top loader does. The secret is to do a third rinse with about 3/4 cup of white vinegar... I don't care what's on the item you're washing -- it will come out spotless! I would use a face cloth that has been washed with pee pads -- that's how clean they get. Try it... a gallon of Kroger white vinegar is about $2.50. It's incredible.

I use white vinegar on items that I don't want them to pee on again. I don't use bleach or vinegar on the pee pads. The regular detergent cleans it sufficiently, while leaving a scent that only a dog can smell. This smell attacks them back to the pee pad.

I would just want to warn new puppy owners that many of the blue backed pads sold on ebay and other discount places do not have the attractant on it that the commercial brands have. They are the same type of pad used in hospitals to help keep beds dry.

You can buy a liquid attractant to put on these pads to help attract the puppy to that place to pee. It can also be used on the washable pads. I think one of the keys to training puppies to use pee pads is to have the attractant there to attract the puppy to the correct place to potty. It can be done without it but I have found the process much quicker when using the attractant.

I buy pads from Ryan (YT member RDB911)....good price, pads work as well as others priced higher, and great customer service!

After considering the cost of washing pads (detergent, water, electric, my time), I think disposable pads cost less. Also, I don't consider them any more damaging to the environment than all of those detergents and disinfectants used for washing pads, along with using up valuable resources like electricity and water.

They cost an absolute fortune over here and I cant find them any cheaper - Its £30 for 56 pads which is $53!!

What about Argos? Never used them, but here's the link:

Buy RSPCA Puppy Training Pads - Pack of 35 at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Dog training and behaviour.

or what about Tesco? These I have used, and have good absorbency

I have the Wee Wee pad brand holder; however, it is split in the middle and sometimes leaks on the floor anyway. Miles has two pee pee areas in the apt so I want to get a holder for the second spot.

They look nice and thick in the pics. Are they really like that when you open the package at home?

Honestly, they are compacted tightly into a box of 300 when I buy them, so they don't look quite as thick as the picture shows on the website. But I don't have problems with leakages unless one of mine gets too close to the edge. If I used the pad holders, getting to close to the edge might not happen. I don't use the pad holders bc between my dogs and the foster dogs, I'm constantly changing them out and it's easier for me. I have stained concrete floors, so a little leakage now and then isn't a problem.

I'm a major fan of Ryan's quilted washable pads. RDB911 here on YT. I first bought one to try, then 12 then another 12. I only use cold water, liquid laundry detergent and a little bleach. (top loader and I wait and wash about 8 at a time). If there is a stain, I just spray it with shout or whatever is on sale or cheaper, and none of them have a stains. Wouldn't use anything else. Been useing these for 16 months and not one stain or worn area on these pads. They are incredible!! I finally got my friend to start useing them too since she was buying throw away pads so often. (money thrown away for sure). She is completely hooked now too!

I buy pads for my crew at the local hospital. They are 10.50 for a pack of 50. They don't have the attractant, but my kids are older and already trained.
