Choosing the best pad for your dog can be challenging.

There is a wide range of training pads on the market, from thin to thick and small to large so we are going to lay out some tips to help you select the perfect pad for your pet. If your dog still goes outside to relieve himself, then a thicker pad may not be necessary. Keeping a thin pad indoors just for emergencies would be enough in this situation.

However, if you leave your dog at home for a long period of time, a thicker pad would be better in the event your dog needs to relieve itself multiple times while you are away. Since they will be using the pad frequently, a thicker, deodorized pad may be a better fit for you and your pet.

Traveling with a pet can also be tricky. It’s not always possible to take your dog to a park or a private space outdoors when you are stuck on a train or a plane. In these cases, having a pad on hand for emergencies is vital. Hopefully, you won’t need it but if you do, you’ll be very thankful you have it.

It is also important to choose a pad that is large enough for your dog. If you own a large breed, a small pad could result in misses or over-inundation.

Finally, factoring in the age of your dog is also important. Older pets may struggle with mobility and they fatigue easily. Having a “go zone” in the house can help reduce their burdens and help make your pet much more comfortable.

There are many factors to keep in mind when selecting a potty pad. The age and size of your dog, as well as your schedule, should all be considered when choosing the best pad. Portability is also important if you travel with your pet frequently. If you have any questions or require assistance making your selection, please feel free to contact us.
