Reusable Potty Pads

Yes. For small dogs, a dog litter box or indoor potty tray works much like a pad — the same rules apply: one spot, a consistent schedule, and immediate rewards for success.

Yes, the pee pad can be used by any pet.

Absolutely! Many pet owners use these pads on their balconies, patios or simply as picnic blankets for their dog!

No. A potty pad is simply a designated spot indoors. Dogs trained to potty on a clear, consistent surface learn the habit, and you can transition that habit outside later by moving the pad toward the door.

Not if you transition gradually. Pads only slow things down when there's no plan to move outside; a steady relocation to the door and then outdoors keeps the habit on track.

Potty Buddy's distinctive pattern and soft surface will make your dog naturally attracted to using it and will distinguish it from other mats and carpets in the house.

The pads perform best if hang-dried. However, they can also be tumble-dried on a low setting if needed.

1. Introduce your dog to the pad.

2. Anticipate when they're likely to pee (soon after sleeping, playing or eating).

3. Take them to the pad to pee and reward them with a treat.

4. Repeat until your dog starts going to the pad by themselves.5. If your goal is to teach your dog to pee outside, gradually move the pad outside until your dog starts going out by themselves.

For most puppies, moving the pad to the door and then outdoors takes about two to four weeks of consistent practice, though it varies with age, breed, and how reliable your routine is.

Most of our customers typically get 2 or more pads so that they have a spare while the dirty one is being washed.

Keep at least two or three on hand so a clean one is always ready while others are in the wash, and so you can cover more than one room if needed.

We suggest a quick wash daily to keep the pad fresh. However, the washing frequency depends on usage and preference. Potty Buddy pads can be washed many times over.

Absolutely! For leg raisers, we recommend getting a larger sized pad which you can affix partly against a wall using a little tape or adhesive clips (found at most large retailers). This will ensure the pad captures any pee that shoots above the floor.

Clean it thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner to remove the scent, supervise more closely, and guide your dog to the pad or outdoor spot on schedule until the old spot loses its appeal.

Yes. Pads are ideal during this window. Keep your puppy off public ground until they're fully vaccinated, and use a private, clean outdoor area for the first outdoor steps if you have one.

Keep your puppy away from unvaccinated dogs and from any areas where vermin frequent, particularly. bodies of water in which they may urinate. Rats and mice carry Leptospirosis, which is one of the infections vets vaccinate against.

Secure the pad in a holder or tray so there's no loose edge to grab, and make sure the pen has enough toys to keep your puppy occupied. A bored puppy chews; an occupied one is far less likely to. Another option is to get a durable, washable pad, as those are much harder to shred and stay in place due to their anti-slip backing.

Optional. An attractant or housebreaking spray applied to the potty spot or pad gives your dog a scent cue that says "go here," which can help in early training. Reapply after washing a pad.

Yes. Using the same verbal cue — like "go potty" — indoors and out keeps things consistent and helps your dog understand what you want wherever you are.

If you work long hours, a dog walker, a midday potty break, or an indoor pad setup keeps your puppy from being forced to hold it too long. Puppies simply can't wait all day, so plan coverage before problems start.

If accidents persist despite a consistent routine, or your dog suddenly goes more often or strains to pee, contact your veterinarian to rule out a health issue such as a UTI or bladder stones.
