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. Typically made of multiple layers, these pads contain a waterproof backing to prevent leaks and a top layer that attracts pets with a scent. These pads are convenient for pet owners, especially during bad weather or when outdoor access is limited. They come in various sizes and can be used for older dogs or pets recovering from surgery. Regular use can aid in housebreaking and promote good bathroom habits.
