What are dog pee pads used for? Why are they a must-have for dog owners in Hong Kong?
An important tool for toilet training
For puppies, senior dogs, or dogs that haven't yet developed the habit of relieving themselves outdoors, pee pads provide a clear toilet location. Through positive guidance, they can help dogs establish consistent elimination habits and prevent the home environment from becoming polluted.
Maintaining environmental hygiene and cleaning efficiency
These premium diaper pads feature a multi-layered design, including a highly absorbent layer and a waterproof bottom membrane, which quickly locks in moisture and odors to prevent leakage. This design greatly simplifies the cleaning process; simply roll them up and discard them after use.
Practical solutions for dealing with special situations
- Severe Weather Response: Provide safe toileting options for dogs during times when outdoor activities are not advisable, such as typhoons and heavy rain.
- Health considerations: Suitable for senior dogs with arthritis or mobility issues, or female dogs in heat or postpartum recovery period.
- Time-limited solution: can serve as an emergency toilet option when the owner is busy at work or temporarily away.
Multi-scenario application value
It can be placed inside dog crates, transport crates, or pet strollers to keep the space dry and clean; it also helps prevent contamination of unfamiliar environments during travel or accommodation.

Tips for choosing diaper pads:
- Choose a size one size larger than the recommended dog size to allow sufficient space for toileting.
- Observe your dog's toilet habits; those who prefer to defecate in circles should consider adding a larger size.
- Measure the actual space in the placement area to ensure the diaper pad can be placed flat.
Apart from the size, what else do you want to see?
- Absorption capacity and speed: Choose one that absorbs water instantly, so the surface stays dry and doesn't seep back in, and won't hurt your dog's paws.
- Odor-locking function: It must have deodorizing beads to absorb the ammonia smell. Otherwise, the whole house will smell like urine, which would be a big problem!
- Waterproof underlayer: The bottom layer of adhesive film must be solid and clean enough to be 100% leak-proof and protect your wooden floors or carpets.
- Thickness and texture: Thicker diaper pads are less likely to be torn by the baby and are more comfortable to step on.
- Safety first: Choose brands that don't contain alcohol or fluorescent agents, as these are better for your dog's health.
