No More Spills- Ensure Your Puppy Pads Have Enough Absorbency

Many new puppy owners invest in wee wee puppy pads to use during puppy housebreaking and puppy crate training.  These absorbent pads allow puppies an indoor place to wee, and protect carpets and furniture.  However, if the puppy pads are not absorbent enough to hold all the urine, an even bigger mess can occur when the pads are picked up for disposal.

It is important to note that just because a puppy is tiny does not mean it can’t hold a whole lot of fluid in its bladder.  A human adult can generally hold approximately two cups of fluid in the bladder before needing to use the restroom.  The bladders of large adult canines, like Great Danes and Mastiffs, can likely compete with adult human bladders in total fluid volume capacity.  However, puppies do not have full size, fully developed bladders and bladder muscles yet.  This means that they can hold less fluid by volume in the bladder before needing to void, and the as yet undeveloped bladder muscles mean puppies need to void more frequently than they will as they grow.

Light absorbency pads usually measure around 17 by 24 inches.  These pads can absorb enough urine to protect against urine spills from dogs in the toy size category.  Teacup Chihuahuas, young Yorkshire Terriers, Toy Poodles, and Teacup Maltese are all dog breeds with tiny bladders.  For puppy potty training a very small breed, light absorbency pads should work well.

Moderate absorbency wee wee puppy pads are usually available in a couple different sizes.  They usually measure in around 17 by 24 inches, and 23 by 36 inches.  These puppy training pads have enough absorbency to handle small to medium size dogs.  Adult Shih Tzu’s, Sky Terriers, and other small members of the terrier classification, like Scottish Terriers, can most likely get by using moderate absorbency  puppy pads.

Even as puppies, as the size of the breed gets bigger, so the puppy training pads must have more and more absorbency.  Medium size dogs are likely to need 23 by 36 inch extra absorbency pads.  These include puppies of breeds in the non-sporting group, such as Poodles, Chow Chows, and Dalmatians.

Double X and triple X absorbency pads are generally only available in 23 by 36 size.  These pads have enough absorbency to hold the bladder contents of much larger dogs.  Dogs in the working group, including Akitas, Boxers, and Portuguese Water Dogs will usually need double X absorbency pads.  Larger working group breeds, like Newfoundlands and Mastiffs are sure to need the triple absorbency pads.

Every puppy pads wholesale shop should have customer service representatives that can help puppy and dog owners find the right size absorbency pads.  Keep in mind, as the pup grows up, large, more absorbent puppy training pads will become necessary.
