Okay, so I've been using these TinyWiz pee pads for about a month now with my two German Shepherds, and here's the real tea ☕
The Good: These pads are HUGE (like, picnic blanket huge) and thicker than most. The charcoal layer does help with odor - not magic-level elimination, but definitely better than regular white pads. My floors stayed dry even when my big boy decided to treat it like a water park.
The Not-So-Good: The gray color makes it hard to see when they're full. I had to develop a 'sniff test' routine (glamorous, I know). Also had one pad that seemed defective - leaked right through like it was on strike.
Pro Tip: They work great for travel! Used them during a road trip and no hotel room smelled like a kennel. Though at this size, they did take up half my suitcase...
Final verdict? Would buy again, but maybe wait for a sale. They're pricier than basic pads but worth it if you're sensitive to smells or have heavy-wetters.
