Highlighted Reviews

— Donna

"Even though these are puppy training pads, I use these for area the cat litter box area. I have a senior cat who's aim in the box isn't as accurate as when she was younger. These pads are absorbent, have a plastic back to avoid leaks and best part, no odor."

— Lynn

"The urine rolls off of the pad. If the liquid gets close to the edge it goes under the pad and makes the whole floor wet."
