Highlighted Reviews
"I love the larger size of these pads, especially for multiple dogs! I can use them several days in a row and I think they do help keep the odor under control. I also like that they’re a darker color so you can't see the yellow urine spots."
"These used to be great and very absorbent however, I think they might have changed manufacturers as they leak through every time now. The pad I used in reference to my picture was brand new and this is from my dog only using it once."
Bottom Line
I would recommend these pads for their absorption and odor control but would keep an eye out for any manufacturing changes that might affect quality.
