Puppy pads are absorbent mats designed for indoor pet training, primarily for puppies. They help manage accidents by providing a designated area for pets to relieve themselves. Made from layers of materials, they typically feature a waterproof backing to prevent leaks and a top layer that absorbs moisture and odors. These pads are often used during the housebreaking process, allowing pet owners to teach their puppies where it is appropriate to go. They can also be useful for older dogs or those with mobility issues, providing a convenient solution for indoor bathroom needs.
