Product Information
6-LAYER ABSORPTION SYSTEM: A non-woven top sheet channels liquid down through an activated carbon core, two absorbent tissue layers, a super-absorbent polymer base, and a leak-proof PE bottom sheet to lock in moisture under the surface.
LEAK-PROOF SEALED EDGES: Quilted edges on all four sides contain liquid within the pad boundary to prevent runoff onto floors and crate surfaces, making these suitable for use in dog crates, exercise pens, and on hardwood or tile.
ACTIVATED CARBON ODOR NEUTRALIZER: The black charcoal core captures and traps urine odor compounds at the source rather than masking them, helping control household odor during puppy potty training or senior dog incontinence management.
PHEROMONE ATTRACTANT TECHNOLOGY: Each pad is infused with a pheromone scent detectable by dogs to signal an appropriate elimination spot, helping reduce accidents during potty training for puppies and adult dogs being retrained indoors.
23 IN x 23 IN PAD COVERAGE: Each pad measures 23 in x 23 in and fits standard wire dog crates for breeds up to 40 lbs, indoor playpen floors, whelping box liners, and flat floor placement for dogs that use a designated indoor spot.
MULTI-USE SURFACE PROTECTION: Pads work for potty training, senior dog incontinence, post-surgery recovery, whelping, travel use in kennels or carriers, and floor protection under food and water bowls, with no adhesive required.
100-COUNT BULK SUPPLY: Each pack contains 100 individual pads at 23 in x 23 in for extended use across single or multi-dog households, reducing reorder frequency for daily training routines or ongoing incontinence management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good practical gift for a friend who just got a new puppy?
Yes, it is one of the most useful new-puppy gifts because housebreaking supplies are needed immediately, and a 100-count pack gives the recipient several weeks of ready-to-use pads right out of the gate.
Can I give this as a housewarming gift for a friend moving into an apartment with a dog?
Absolutely, apartment dwellers without yard access rely on indoor potty solutions, so a bulk pack of leak-proof, odor-control pads is a thoughtful, high-utility housewarming gift for any pet parent.
Would this make a good Mother's Day gift for a dog mom who breeds puppies?
Yes, breeders and whelping caregivers go through pads constantly, and the anti-microbial variant designed for whelping boxes is a gift that directly supports the work she cares about most.
Is this an appropriate holiday gift for a senior dog owner in my life?
It is a considerate choice, since senior dog owners managing incontinence appreciate odor control, leak protection, and the convenience of a 30 or 100 count that reduces how often they have to shop.
Does this work as a Valentine's Day gift for a partner who just adopted a rescue dog?
It is a thoughtful, practical gift that signals you support their new chapter with their rescue, and a 100 or 200 count pack shows you put real thought into their daily routine together.
What if the recipient's dog is a large breed, will the size be right?
The jumbo 28 x 30 inch size accommodates dogs up to 40 pounds and beyond, and pairing that size with a 100 count makes a generous, ready-to-use gift for a large breed household.
Is there a way to gift a small trial before committing to a bulk pack?
Yes, the 14-count trial pack lets the recipient test the size and performance, and you can pair it with a handwritten note suggesting a 100 or 200 count reorder once they see the results.
How does this compare to gifting a fancy pet bed as a housewarming present?
A pet bed is a nice gesture, but potty supplies are an immediate need for new puppy owners and high-rise dwellers, making these pads a more practical gift they will actually use from day one.
Is this a good last-minute gift that still feels personal?
Yes, pads ship quickly and the bulk pack format means you can grab a 100 or 200 count the same day, then add a card explaining why you chose a high-use item for their new puppy or senior dog.
What if the recipient has never used pee pads before, will the pheromone feature be confusing?
The pheromone attractant works automatically without any setup, so the recipient simply places the pad down and the dog is naturally drawn to it, which makes the gift easy to use even for first-timers.
Can I gift this alongside a crate or playpen for a new puppy parent?
Yes, pads pair perfectly with a wire crate or indoor playpen as part of a complete housebreaking starter gift, and the 23 x 23 inch size fits most standard crates on the market.
Is the activated carbon odor control a meaningful upgrade over generic pads as a gift?
Recipients notice the difference immediately, since generic pads leave smell in the room, and the carbon core is a tangible benefit they will thank you for, especially in smaller apartments.
Will the recipient think disposable pads are a cheap or thoughtless gift?
On the contrary, experienced dog owners know that high-quality pads with odor control and leak protection are a premium supply, so a 200-count bulk pack is a gift that shows real understanding of their routine.
Can I gift this to a friend whose dog just had surgery?
Yes, post-surgery dogs need a clean, dry recovery surface, and the anti-microbial variant is especially well suited as a get-well gift that supports their vet-recommended crate rest.
What if the recipient lives in a different climate and stores pads in a garage or balcony?
The pads should be stored in a dry indoor area for best performance, so the gift works best when the recipient has indoor storage, though a climate-controlled closet or laundry room is all that is needed.
Is there an emotional angle to gifting these pads to a grieving senior dog owner?
It can be a quietly meaningful gift, since helping a senior dog stay comfortable and the home stay fresh is a tangible way to support a friend during a difficult stage of pet ownership.
How do I set up a Glad for Pets Black Charcoal Puppy Pad for the first time?
Unfold the pad with the soft non-woven side facing up, place it in the target area such as the crate floor, near the back door, or in the whelping box, and let the built-in pheromone attractant draw your dog to the spot. Reward your dog immediately after each correct use to reinforce the behavior.
How often should I change the pad during the day?
For a single puppy or small dog, changing once in the morning, once in the evening, and after any heavy use works well, while multi-dog homes and whelping boxes may need two to three changes per day to keep the area sanitary.
Can these pads be used on top of a crate tray or directly on hardwood and tile?
Yes, the PE leak-proof bottom film protects crate trays, hardwood, tile, and laminate, so you can place the pad directly on the floor or inside a standard wire crate without needing an additional liner.
Will these pads fit inside a standard 24-inch wire crate?
The regular 23 x 23 inch pad fits comfortably inside most small to medium wire crates, and many owners use the jumbo 28 x 30 inch size in larger crates or playpens for full coverage.
Are these pads compatible with dog litter box systems and artificial grass trays?
Yes, the regular 23 x 23 inch size can be trimmed or layered to fit most litter box trays and faux grass systems, giving you a leak-proof base beneath the tray to protect the surrounding floor.
What comes in the box when I order a 100-count pack?
Each pack contains 100 individually stacked Glad for Pets Black Charcoal Puppy Pads in the size you selected, and no additional accessories are required to start using them, though you may want a small trash bag or lidded pail for used pads.
Are there any safety concerns with the super-absorbent polymer if my dog chews the pad?
The polymer is sealed inside the pad layers for normal use, but you should supervise puppies, post-surgery dogs, and known chewers, and replace any pad that has been torn open to prevent ingestion of the absorbent material.
Will the pads irritate my dog's nose or skin during long-term use?
The pads are fragrance-free and rely on activated carbon for odor control, which is generally well tolerated, but if your dog has unusually sensitive skin, monitor the belly and paw contact areas during the first few uses.
What is the difference between disposable puppy pads and washable pee pads?
Disposable pads like these offer single-use convenience, sealed leak protection, and built-in odor control with a pheromone attractant, while washable pads require laundry, can retain odor over time, and typically lack a built-in attractant cue for faster training.
