About this product
The Amazon Basics Dog and Puppy Training Pads are a convenient solution for house-training your puppy or assisting older dogs. This pack contains 100 regular size pads designed with standard absorbency to manage messes effectively. The 5-layer construction quickly absorbs liquid, transforming it into gel on contact, while the quick-dry surface incorporates a built-in attractant to encourage desired behaviour and help with potty training.
These pads are suitable for indoor, outdoor, or car use, offering flexibility during the crucial training period. Each pad measures 56 x 56 cm (L x W) with a 4cm plastic border on all sides intended to prevent overflow. The FSC-CERTIFIED material is made from materials sourced from well-managed forests and recycled materials.
The pack includes a leakproof plastic lining to protect your floors, and the design is particularly useful for puppies or when outdoor access isn’t possible. This quantity of 100 pads will generally cover the duration of the house training process.
Please note that this bulk purchase represents a considerable volume and requires adequate storage space. The total weight of the order is approximately 3.2 Kilograms, and the dimensions are 56.4 x 56.4 centimetres.
