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
Does the activated charcoal core actually keep the room smelling clean during long housebreaking phases?
Yes, the activated carbon layer traps urine odor compounds at the molecular level rather than masking them with fragrance, so the kitchen, laundry room, or living area stays noticeably fresher between pad changes throughout extended potty training.
Will the pheromone attractant help reduce my puppy's stress while we work on housebreaking?
The built-in attractant gives your puppy a clear, consistent cue about where to go, which lowers confusion and helps shorten the housebreaking timeline, making the daily routine calmer for both of you.
Can these pads support a senior dog's comfort overnight without disrupting their sleep?
The quilted sealed edges and 6-layer leak-proof base keep moisture contained so the bed area stays dry, and the odor-control core prevents late-night smells, allowing your senior dog to rest undisturbed.
Is the anti-microbial variant gentle enough for mother dogs and newborn puppies in the whelping box?
The anti-microbial option is designed for hygiene-sensitive use cases like whelping and recovery, helping reduce bacterial growth on the pad surface while remaining suitable for sensitive nursery environments.
How do these pads help create a more calming post-surgery recovery space?
By containing leaks, neutralizing odor, and keeping the recovery pen dry and sanitary, the pads remove cleanup stress and let your dog rest in a clean, predictable space that supports healing.
I'm a first-time puppy owner feeling overwhelmed by housebreaking. Will these pads really shorten the timeline?
Many first-time owners see faster results because the pheromone cue trains the puppy to seek out the pad on its own, reducing accidents on rugs and hardwood and giving you a clear, repeatable routine.
Can I set up a calming bedtime potty station near the back door for my new puppy?
Yes, the 23 x 23 inch pad fits well near a back door, and the odor-control core keeps the area fresh overnight so it works as a reliable wind-down station before bed.
Will using these pads help me feel less anxious about leaving my senior dog alone during the day?
The leak-proof base protects your floors and the carbon core controls odor for hours, so you can head to work knowing your dog's bed area will stay dry and your home will smell clean when you return.
Is there a wellness-oriented pad option for whelping mothers that keeps the nursery calm and sanitary?
The anti-microbial variant is well suited for whelping boxes, helping maintain a cleaner nursery floor while the sealed edges prevent tracking into the rest of the recovery kennel.
How do these compare to reusable washable pads for a wellness-focused household?
Disposable pads eliminate the laundry cycle, reduce lingering odor between washes, and offer a fresh surface for each change, which many wellness-focused owners prefer for hygiene and convenience.
Do scented or fragranced wellness alternatives irritate sensitive dogs?
These pads rely on activated carbon to neutralize odor rather than added fragrance, which is generally better tolerated by dogs with sensitive noses and by owners who prefer a scent-free home environment.
Will the pads add any harsh chemical smell to my dog's wind-down routine?
No, the odor control comes from activated charcoal, not masking perfumes, so the area around the pad stays neutral and does not interfere with your dog's bedtime cues.
How do these compare to basic store-brand pads for a senior dog with incontinence?
Standard pads often just absorb liquid, while these add an activated carbon layer for odor control and a quilted sealed-edge design that contains leaks better, which matters during overnight and workday stretches.
Are the pads quiet and non-disruptive when my dog steps on them during the night?
The top sheet is a soft non-woven layer that is gentle under paw and does not crinkle loudly, so your senior dog can move to and from the pad without a startling plastic sound.
What if my puppy seems hesitant to use the pad at first?
Place the pad in a consistent spot near the door or crate, reward your puppy immediately after use, and avoid cleaning the area with ammonia-based products that mimic urine smell, since the pheromone cue works best in a steady routine.
Will using pads make my puppy dependent on them forever?
Pads are meant to bridge the training phase; once your puppy reliably goes in the designated spot, most owners gradually transition to outdoor breaks while keeping a pad down for weather days, travel, and high-rise living.
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.
