Puppy pads are designed to be placed around the house so a puppy that is still undergoing housetraining can have places to eliminate in if they can’t make it to the potty area outside in time. Many new pet owners use these pads for their pup’s housetraining because of their convenience; using them is a win-win situation for both puppies and their owners. They can easily be cleaned and it’s much easier to deal with accidents around the house. With puppy pads placed in strategic places the house, there will be a lesser possibility of stinky surprises around. There are even puppy pads that are scented to help mask the scent of pee or poop.

Cons of puppy pads

The biggest downside of using puppy pads during housetraining is that the puppy can get used to doing his business inside the house. It can also be hard to wean a puppy off and can make the housetraining process much longer.
