among this lower quality tier, these are super budget friendly and do a fine enough job
These are super basic. They are not great, but they are budget friendly. I have used all types of puppy pads, and some of the very expensive ones may have an added benefit, but not enough for me to keep buying them. These.. well, the price is right. I have them for my elderly cat who does not want to use a litter box despite having them in various convenient locations and kept super clean. So, since she likes going on a puppy pad and seems pretty consistent with using them, I go ahead and buy them. I go through a lot.Here are my thoughts on why I think they are worth the purchase: Yes, they are thin, they can leak (see below), and that they *should* have a better quality being the AKC brand. However, these are just like the other cheap ones in its category- thin, can leak, no frills. Yet, these are cheaper than the cheapest among other cheap, low quality brands. SO, for a purchase within the category of CHEAP, BUDGET puppy pads, these stand out in terms of price (since they are same as other cheapies). NOW, compared to another quality/price tier of puppy pad– where they are thicker, perhaps more absorbent, might have carbon, and multiple layers, and draw moisture away from top.. they are pretty good.. but also priced way way more. It is a toss up. What are your needs? Kinda like 1 ply smooth commercial TP vs triple ply multi textured TP. Both work, one you may use more of, the other you will pay much more for. Both are fine depending on needs and preference.As for the leaking.. I notice that is more a matter of WHERE the urine is deposited and how much. If the urine comes out quick with decent volume AND it is near or on the edge of the pad.. then, yeh, it will leak to the floor. I haven’t noticed it leak directly through when the pee is in the middle. I tend to put down a few layers at once just so I can “grab and go” the spent puppy pad. Sometimes I put down a reusable puppy pad (large washable pad) OR a towel.. then these on top. I think my cat likes the additional padded feel and it also helps any leakage or over shoots. I dont just use a towel or a reusable pad on its own because unlike these pads.. the towl/reusable tend to smell AND I would still have to go through multiple of them a day to make it work (sometimes I do– use a combo of big towel/reusable, then smaller tea towels on top.. really just using these disposable pads are way easier and more cleanly). I have considered a puppy pad holder tray.. but Like I said, I go through multiple per day because I try to grab them almost as soon as they have been used. These do a fine enough job. When it came time to buy another package, the 100 count I had purchased was not available. I took a moment to look at other brands (of this style) as well as some of the really “good” ones that I liked in the past (which now have mixed reviews about changed quality with still same high price).. and I simply came back to this American Kennel Club puppy pad product to see if they had it in the 150 count. They do, and so I ordered (a few minutes ago). Make it a subscribe and save item for even greater cost reduction. And so I decided to write this review. Let you know my experience and why I am making a point to buy this again despite my freedom to choose among every other offering available 🙂 Hence, my 5 stars. I keep buying them!I hope this helped you, one way or another. Your needs may be different than mine and you will want to look into other types.. or your needs may be similar and will appreciate what these have to offer. Basic, simple, lightly fragranced, and inexpensive.PS. I included a pics that show what it looks like underneath a pile of urine. I double up the pads so I can just take off the dirty one as needed.

Smart, dog-friendly design
I want to acknowledge this company for using visual design to help my 10-yr-old chihuahua mix “hit the spot” perfectly, each time.I adopted my pet from a rescue shelter about a year ago, and discovered very quickly that she had no prior training in relieving herself indoors on a pee pad. I bought what I thought were the top-of-the-line charcoal-activated pads, which are dark grey with a light grey border on all four sides to indicate where the pee area ended and the hardwood floor underneath was about to begin. I found that my pup rather haphazardly peed sometimes right in the middle of the pad, and sometimes on the far edge, with half the pee leaking onto the floor and under the pad. A “mess” to clean up!What frustrated me most, though, was that my very, very smart pup did not seem to know the difference between when she made a “hit” versus a “miss” (or “mess,” my inner voice said). This surprised me, since I made a game out of discovering and rewarding her for each “hit”–a game she loves so much that she has gotten into the habit of dropping very big, unsubtle hints whenever she thinks she’s made a “hit.” And although it’s tricky to accurately assess a pet’s emotions, I began to feel her frustration and even disbelief when I reluctantly told her she made a “miss”–as evidenced by her going back and forth, several times, to the scene of the “miss,” as if to check on my judgment lol!!!About six weeks ago, as luck would have it, I ran out of pee pads and could not get my usual brand, so I settled for another brand that had a white interior surface, and a neutral colored plastic band around the edges. And almost immediately, I noticed a change. My pup started scoring direct hits most of the time, with only a few misses here and there.This caused me to remember something I read long ago about color perception in dogs. Pretty much everyone knows that dogs are colorblind. But what does that mean, practically speaking? Well, from a dog’s perspective, everything is sort of grey. A red ball, thrown to a dog on green field that rolls into high grass, is–to a dog–a grey round object hidden in a grey thicket. The dog won’t find the ball by sight, because it can’t tell anything in that scene apart, based on color. It goes by smell.There are two colors that dogs can see well, though–bright yellow and bright blue. When I remembered this point, I started a search for a pee pad that employed color as a cue to help a dog quickly distinguish the allowed area for peeing from the surrounding, off-limits area. And that search led me to this product, the AKC puppy training pads.Dogs are color-blind, but they can distinguish shades and intensity. The first thing I noticed about the AKC pads is that they use a top layer of absorbent material that is white with very high brightness factor, like top-of-the-line, bleached printer paper. Immediately, this intense white causes the “hit” area to pop out of its surroundings. Then, for the protective layer underneath and the border around the pad, the AKC pads use a very intense, bright, baby-blue plastic. This is another big cue to the pup about where a “hit” is about to turn into a “miss.”My smart, but nevertheless still color-blind, pup got the point of these new pads instantly. Since the moment I laid down the first of the AKC pads, she has been proudly delivering “hit” after “hit”–and I, thankfully, can finally see a future without another “miss” to clean up!My pup and I live in an apartment in the middle of a major city, and so it has been imperative to me to ensure that she is a well-trained user of pee pads. It was breaking my heart to see how hard she was trying to do the right thing, with results that she was struggling to comprehend. Those days are behind us now. And I have this product to thank for that.
