Washable Puppy Pads, any Pros?

Recently came across the MedNet Washable Puppy Pads (http://www.mednetdirect.com/Sofnit-Washable-Underpads-p/msc013000-p.htm) which sell for $130/24pk. I’m not an advocate for the use of these pads unless they are gradually phased out (used only during the 4-5 weeks of training) or for sick, immobile or elderly dogs, but was wondering what were the Pros of such a thing. It doesn’t seem feasible to spend $130 on simply reusable diapers.

I used washable pee pads for my puppies when they were still very young. It is MUCH better than using those disposable ones because 1st of all, puppies LOVE tearing them up. My puppies kept on doing that because anything that is paper-ish is fascinating to them & they kept on shredding them non-stop & swallowing some of the pieces too so that’s why I changed it to the washable type.

Secondly, they can absorb a lot of urine not like the disposable ones because they’re so thin especially the lower quality ones but the urine & poop on the washable ones can be washed off very easily under a running tap but yes, they were expenssive BUT buying loads of the disposable ones can cost just as much or maybe even more & they’re frustrating to use because like I said, the puppies will always want to shred them up. It’s fun to them! Might as well just use newspapers then…

But if you still want to use disposable pee pads, I suggest you get the ones made for old and/or handicapped people from supermarkets. They’re bigger & cost less than the ones made for pets.
