Is the Amazon Basics Training Pads right for your dog?
- Who it’s for
- Apartment puppies, unvaccinated puppies and older dogs losing continence — 22-inch pads with a border on all four sides.
- Who should skip it
- Your only goal is outdoor training and you have easy access to grass. You would be adding a step to remove later.
The verdict
The workhorse version of a product nobody enjoys buying. Five layers, a quick-dry top surface, a gelling core, plastic lining and a border on all four sides to catch the overshoot — which is the detail that matters, because puppies aim badly. Amazon includes a built-in attractant, and lists the intended uses honestly as puppy training, senior dogs and car trips. Owner feedback is consistent: reliable and good value, with recurring notes that they are thinner than expected and that heavy soaking can get through. Buy the regular size for a small puppy and consider going up for anything bigger. Worth naming the other stage these serve — a senior dog with failing continence is a vet conversation first, and a pad on the floor by their bed is what makes the waiting kind.
Drawbacks
- Thinner than premium pads — heavy soaking can get through
- Adds an indoor step if your goal is purely outdoor training
