Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Gridlock Puppy Training 24" x 24" Wee Wee Pads, 100 Count
Customer Review: Awesome Product
Summary: 5 Stars
As a first time pet owner of a MaltiPoo puppy, I was lucky to come across Gridlock wee pad in a specialty dog store (the only brand they carry). Although you can't smell the scent, the pad has some kind of odor that attracts the dog. My puppy goes straight for the pad to pee without hardly any training. The pad has a soft quilted layer that absorbs really well - No leak. For a small puppy I can use one pad all day and there is no smell and no leak. I could even use it for more than one day if there's no poop and it still won't leak (but I change it daily due to hygene...) Since I initially bought only a small pack of Gridlock, when we ran out, I decided to by a box of 100 count of "Great Choice" brand while we were at a big chain pet store. When I opened up the other brand, the pack has a bleachy smell and some powder stuff. I didn't think any thing of it. However, right away I noticed the puppy kept huffing and blowing out his nose. At first we thought he didn't like the new food we switched him too, but after a few days I realized it was the new training pee pad. I put the Great Choice pad up to my nose and smelled it. Whatever chemical was used, burned my nose. It took me half an hour to clear my nasal. I immediately switched back to Gridlock Wee Pad. After that I decided to do some more research on the Gridlock pad. After reading all of your reviews, I am even more sold that Gridlock training pad is the best for my pup. There must be a reason why the specialty dog store near our house carry only this brand for training pad.Customer Review: Super Absorbant - Great Pads
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 4 toy dogs, 3 of who are aging and cannot always go outside. Two them then are heavy water drinkers, and thus heavy piddlers. I put these pads in one of those plastic trays that are meant to go under a washing machine. I use two pad in the tray. Since these pads hold water so well I often just cut out that spot and lay a quarter of another pad over the hole. When I have a few 'partial' pieces of pads I lay down a full new pad and place those partial pieces on top of it. Often those partial pieces catch a new pee so I don't have to cut a new hole in the new pad, and by doing this it allows me to get full use out of the pads. Since I have 4 dogs using these pads I go through a lot of pads, and if I didn't use these partial pieces I would really go through a lot of pads.
I tried thinner pads so I wouldn't have to cut pieces out, but they often got flooded and leaked all over the tray, and when I went to remove them would have to be careful they didn't leak when trasporting them to the diaper pail. Also, once those cheaper and thinner pads got flooded the dogs would go on my floor instead of in the tray on the soaked pads. I have not had that problem since I started buying these super absorbant Grid-Lock pads. They now consistently use the tray since these pads catch and hold the urine so well.
Customer Review: Works at a Fraction of the Price of Other Brands
Summary: 5 Stars
Please note that my review is for very small "toy" dogs under 10lbs.
These pads costs a small fraction of what I had been paying for my regular training pads. They are much thinner than my regular pads. Even the box is a fraction the size of my regular pads. I'm sure my regular pads would hold more, but I've learned that I don't need that much protection for my small dog who can use these pads several times during the day with no overflow.
These pads fit my standard size pad holders. They hold up to repeated use during the day by my 6lb Maltese. I've been using them for almost a year now w/o any problems. I will continue to use this product.
Advantages:
Cost a fraction of what my usual pads cost.
Box takes up a fraction of the storage space of my usual pads.
Pads fit standard size pad tray.
For a small dog (under 10 lb) they work fine, absorbing multiple uses during the day w/o leaking.
Disadvantages:
I really haven't found any when used for my 6 pound Maltese.
They may not be sufficiently absorbent for use with very large dogs.
For 'toy' size dogs (under 10 lbs) I would recommend you give these a try.
Customer Review: The only brand I purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
The title says it all. This is now the only brand of puppy pad I purchase. I tried several different brands from the common pet stores after purchasing a Yorkshire Terrier 2 years ago. Like most people, I disappear daily for extended periods for work. Smaller breeds simply cannot wait all day for me to return home to relieve themselves. The most common problem in all cases was leakage due to multiple uses.
I found the Gridlock pad on Amazon and(thinking all pads were alike at this point) ordered the 100-pack. These are now the only pads that I purchase. The only time I have ever seen leakage has been due to poor aim resulting in overflow on the side of the pad. This is simply due to any pads inability to absorb at the rate of flow right at the edges, and the Gridlock still absorbs almost all of it.
Do yourself a favor. Save your money buying the other brands and order the Gridlock right away. I could have saved myself alot of headaches in the initial 6 months spent purchasing other brands.
Customer Review: Best in show!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have tried every brand and style of these available on the market. These are by far the best. As others have said, they stay flat, their edges are more sturdy and the "moisture" doesn't go through. The best available at any retail store is nowhere near as good as these.
With four dachshunds who cannot be made to go out in the rain (or wind, or cold, or . . . - those with doxies understand) no matter what the incentive, we use wee wee pads regularly. These seem to hold more than the others we've tried. Unless it's a very small puppy, the output is more than the other pads can handle. When the pad is wet, the backing doesn't separate from the padding and the wetness is less likely to seep over the edges. They are also sturdier - nails, even the cat's, don't shred them into bits. I recommend these over any other brand or style.
