Do these pads keep your pet dry if they should have an accident while sleeping? Thank you!

I'm not sure my pet does not lay on it to sleep. But it soaks up pretty fast.

Yes, these are the BEST washable pee pads ever!! We have a little Dachshund who is handicapped from a back injury, and these pads help to keep her dry, not only when she's sleeping, but anytime she is laying down, since she has no control over her bladder anymore. We do the best of everything we can, to make her life the best it can be. She deserves only the BEST, and these pads are made in the USA, which is one of the main reasons we chose these; they are of excellent quality!!

The pad itself is a waterproof type of foam. The floor of the crate itself is just like the other walls of the crate, but in a different color(black). I doubt that it is waterproof although it might be treated with some kind of water repellent. My pup has never wet inside the crate, but she only sleeps in it overnight. She isn't left in it if we go away. I keep a towel inside the crate, over the pad since she "nests" and would tear the pad cover apart very quickly..

Yes these are pretty absorbent Actually. They seem to want to fall apart once wet so I wouldn't suggest soaking them but maybe applying the oil directly onto the pads.

They are thicker than disposable pads, but I wouldn't use them alone as bedding. I use them for an incontinent cat, but I have sewn several quilted fleece pads to go on top of the absorbent pads.

I wouldn't say that they are waterproof...My dog is a bush dog and I had once left the collar on her on a rainy day, this happened more by accident, she ran through alot of wet bush and it did survive, but I had the red collar and it did dye the hair around her neck pink...not easy to get off. I do not recommend it for real rainy days...wet/damp bush it should survive and in snow it seems to work fine, but sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't....It's a good, well priced collar that is really only made for night walks ...it keeps you and your dog safe, so that is what I truely recommend it for.

Dianna, They will keep the dogs' feet dry, but the boots are really nothing more than thick balloons. My dog had surgery on his paw, so these were the best choice for him, just to keep his foot dry and clean. They will keep the snow off their feet, but if you're looking for something more permanent, I'd go with a"real" pair of winter boots for your pup. Hope this info helps.

Yes, the pad caused me to sweat. I used them on my bed during my pregnancy in fear that my water would breaking on the mattress. I reduced the sweating by putting it under the sheet and mattress pad plus a towel as extra layer between me and the pad.

I have no knowledge of whether or not they are waterproof or not, nor do I intend to test to see... My only negative about them is that they are terribly hard to fit onto a foam (and, presumably latex) mattress due to a too small piece of elastic which causes the pad to bunch up into a small 'wad', and requires either three people, or two and a contortionist, to put on. The quality of the materials appears to be excellent, and the texture leads me to believe that it would in fact be waterproof. I do not look forward to have to remove the pad for washing, and then replacing it. It is simple TOO DIFFICULT A PROCESS.

I have not had that happen and my Mom is on these pads 24 hours a day!!! They are thick and soft. Now I do change my Mom's pad 4-6 times in a 24 hour shift so they do not sit under her for days. They seem durable- I doubt one pad would be good for weeks but I think it would last several days of just sitting or laying around on it.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

Ive never used the sheets, but if the pads are for a dog, my Pekingese won't use a pad if I use fabric softener -- otherwise, he never misses.

Use your judgement. If you have kids and pets like I do,then every time. I recommend purchasing a spare pad since after washing they need to air dry.

It's definitely not 100% waterproof. We had the same thing happen with our puppy. I holds the majority of the water/urine, but until your pup gets a little mor potty trained I would have a backup underneath it. These hammocks are also nice, because you can just throw them in the washer and dryer! Overall, we really love ours.

Yes, these are more absorbant than any pads I have ever found & used. They are GREAT and very THICK...holds a lot of liquid, they are the BEST pads! JD in TX

This just keeps the pads moist. When they get dry it actually hurts to use. Don't put a lot on the pad, just a small amount to keep it moist.

If you can train the dogs to use them than I don't see why not. There usually is an attractant in the pads so the dogs smell it and are drawn to them to do their business. Plus if it gives your dogs some dignity and they aren't having accidents, everyone's happy. When my dogs were puppy's I praised them every time they used them and they have ever since. Winters in my area can be very cold and blustery. My 5 pound Yorkie dislikes going out in the freezing cold or when it's very hot, she's a diva :)
