I have two chihuahuas. There is no way a chihuahua can hold it all day, either in a kennel or out. Their little bladders are not big enough. Plus, they do not like cold weather or rain and getting them to potty outside is an effort in futility. I have tried every puppy pad at the local retail stores and figured out these were the best. They are quilted so they do not bunch up. My youngest dog cannot chew them up like she does the blue ones. Why they chew them up, I have no clue....it's a puppy thing! I have been buying the 24 pack of this brand pad at my local Wally mart for $7.00. They are $10 at the grocery store! I just happened to see these on Amazon - 50 for $9.99 and with the 4 for 3 deal and free shipping, that comes to $7.49 per pack. Less than I was paying retail with sales tax for 24! Great job, Amazon! I will be buying these regularly and I wish they had them on Subsribe & Save so I don't have to reorder!

I had been buying this pad but no more. You have just outpriced yourself by raising the price from $9.99 to $15.21 even with the 4 for 3 discount and the free shipping(that's why the two stars). They are cheaper at Walgreens where they still sell for $9.99. You can lower the price in consideration of your customers,I'll buy them again. In the meantime, if you want a pretty good pad I've used the ones from DHMEDICAL online where they have 200 pads for $30 and reasonable shipping. Zero Stars for Amazon. five stars for the Hartz quality.

The most important thing for a wee-wee pad is that it not let any liquid seep through and ruin the hardwood floors. This brand allows urine to seep through almost immediately. They are also slightly smaller than other brands we have used. Still looking for a brand that does not allow ANY seepage. This doesn't seem like much to ask, but so far all the brands we've tried allow leakage because the plastic is porous.

I use pee pads in the house only when no one is home or overnight.
I work from home, so 90% of the time I am home and available to let our chihuahua out to use the bathroom.
I have noticed that she will pee once, and sometimes twice overnight and the pad doesnt hold the pee all of the time. The other pads I have used have never had this issue.
Also, when I pulled the pads out of the bag, sometimes the corners of the pad would be stuck folded into the middle of the pad and when I would pull it apart the pad would rip and I would have cotton coming out from the pad..
So, after trying these pads for about 5 days... I gave up on these.

To me there are 2 types of pads. The economy pads that are really thin, don't soak up the urine, create wet tracking paw prints on my floors but all in all serve their purpose if you don't mind the extra mess/smell and are way cheep. Then you have the great pads like Advanced that soak up the mess/smell, minimize paw prints, and never leave my floors damp but cost a little bit more.


These Hartz pads are the worst of worst and priced about the same as the quality pads. The Hartz have cheep backings which my chihuahua completely soaks thru in the mornings. It is terrible picking them up. Plus if he pees once then he tends to poop on the floor next to the pad because the pad is gross and full so he doesn't want to stand on it. I have a chihuahua not great dane so if he doesn't like them then these must be made for tea cup pups.

I have been using the Hartz Training Academy Wee Wee Pads for almost 3 years for my Chihuahua Dacshund mix. I love them and she loves them but unfortunately no more. Initially you couldn't beat the price. Walgreens always had the 50 pre priced pack for $10. Now Hartz has added another element to the wee wee pad (ANTI BACTERIAL). I bought one pack and wasted a good ten dollars. At the moment I opened this pack I smelled a very strong disinfectant odor eminating from the bag. Sure enough the new anti bacterial is saturated with this smell that offends me and I surely wouldn't subject my dog to it. I can only deScribe the odor similar to all those pre saturated wiping/cleansing cloths that you pull out of the top of the plastic bottle. I am extremely disappointed as I was told that even if you see the old blue packaging on most websites where you can order the original product you will be sent the new product in the lighter green packaging.
I SAY BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL HARTZ TRAINING ACADEMY WITHOUT THE ANTI BACTERIAL CRAP.

I have been using Hartz puppy pads since we got adopted my dog last fall and I've been ordering them from Amazon. However the latest shipment (June 2011) is different than the previous product. I noticed when the shipment arrived last week that the outer wrapping had changed (as reflected in the new photo amazon posted)- I've since read companies usually do this when they change their product manufacturers or formulations. When I opened the bag, a terrible chemical odor was immediately evident. The smell has completely filled the coat closet where we keep the pads. It is also making the bathroom where the dog pees smell toxic. The dog himself doesn't seem to mind the acrid smell, but we sure do. I think we're going to try these Ware River Pet Puppy Wee Wee Pads 23"x24" 100/box USA MADE because at least they're made in the USA, although there isn't free shipping. I don't want to poison my family or my dog.

I have a small dog and I don't always pick up her signals to be let out. I have placed the pad next to the litter box in the bathroom. I have tried many different brands of pads but the are too thin and the floor under them gets wet and smells bad. These pads are nice and thick an the back of them does not allow the floor to get wet. They are easier to pick up and dispose of. Thank you for a great product.

Yes these are way more expensive than the cheapie pads. We ordered several brands and found that you get what you pay for. These absorb more than twice as much fluid, absorb it faster, and leave a dry surface very soon afterwards. There's only one pad on the market that outperformed these--and of course, it is nearly 50% higher in price, too!

Overall? A really great pad, not as expensive as it seems, because you need to change them so much less!

These pads are wonderful, we change them daily, but even so, they are very absorbent, keep urine odor down, and do not leak through. Helpful tip to anyone using puppy pads, when your old shower curtain liner is ready to be replaced, cut off a large enough area of it to fit under your puppy pad, keeps floor clean and you can wipe it right off if anything leaks through or your lil furkid misses....hey, it happens! Not having to wipe off the liner much anymore! Thanks to this pads! Hope you have as good a luck as we have! God Bless! The Hare-Albert Homehold!
