My dog was using this pad fine she loved it, and suddenly she stopped using it and rather pee inside the house now, can it be a bad odor to it?

My dog likes to use it for poop, however she would rather pee outside. Yes, there is somewhat of an odor. but it's ok.

Most dogs will pee on the ped pad a few times, how often it needs changed is up to you and your dogs behavior. Mine will use it 2 or 3 times, but I tend to change it 2 times a day or more if needed.

I'm not sure how helpful this is, but we also bought one 6 months ago, I can't remember if it had an odor but if it did it doesn't now. I'd wipe it down if you haven't and leave it in an open space to air out and see how it does.

Is the smell from the pad or the pellets? I don't notice anything...but only 1 cat, change the pad 1x a week, and change the pellets 1x month. With more cats, need to change everything more often, or have more than one box (w/ 2 cats, I had two boxes, but maintained the 1x week/1x month schedule).

Mine had a very very very faint plastic smell, not an odor. A day after setting it up, it was completely gone. The dog loves it!

It depends on the volume of urine involved. Our dog was a large German shepard who was fully incontinent by the end. We walked her very frequently but we were glad we had the pads extra absorbency.

I got my puppy started using it by cleaning up a pee puddle with a TINY amount of paper towel, so I could ring it out onto the piddle pad. They got one sniff and started using it then, since they could detect their own pee odor. The Piddle Pad is priceless once they get to using it! Good Luck! :)

We used half a Depends pad inside ours. Probably best to have a second one on hand. Might wait till you see if it works for you and your dog.

Are you kidding? My Chihuahua can't live without it. She was getting a little itchy lately and I unplugged it to see if the bed was the cause. She sat in it and shivered to get her point across. I do take it away in the summer. When she shows signs of cold (usually in September), I plug it back in.

There isn't anything on it but there are attractants that you can purchase, if you need them. What I did was put the pad in the place where my pup tended go potty in the house to create a "win" situation for him, then I praised and treated when he went potty on the pad. He was told "no" and did not get a treat if he went elsewhere. This helped him learned the pads are okay to pee on when in the house pretty quickly.

I cleaned the pad in the tub,and kept the tray filled with the biochemical. You can get it at the pet store or camping-boating store its the same stuff you use for camping toilets. It will tell you how long it will last.ps they have a spray in the petstore that smells like grass

My lab doesn't have a urine problem but he slobbers and licks his feet enough to wet the outer cover and I have never seen it go thru the inner waterproof cover. I have recently bought waterproof duck material to make another outer cover (Cooper (my lab) also chews the corners out of all the covers. Other than my "dog's bad habits" I have been very pleased with this bed and he loves it! Hope this will help in some way!

I don t felt any odor but when summer came the tape start loosing strength and the cool air started to get back in after all in December. But at least I didn t smell anything that bother me when I used. I try first in a few windows to checked.how its work. You can do the same and move your pet to another place. Thanks

Urine never leaked on the floor, since we have new carpeting in our bedrooms we always put a bath towel just in case. When she was younger, she weighed about 5lbs so not a lot of urine! We used Lysol disinfectant spray to clean it. She is doing well at 3 months and has accidents only once and a great while. She really liked her crate and sleeps in it still. No crying and for a Boston Terrier I think that is pretty good.

No just add oil to pad and let it go. I have changed scents on the same pad after the oil is used up. Hope this helps

Our smelled like that as well, but only for a few days. We've had our for 5 months now and it doesn't smell anymore.
