Let me start by saying, as a dog owner who's tried EVERYTHING for potty training, these Qeils pee pads surprised me. The first thing you'll notice? That adorable paw print pattern - it actually makes having pee pads in your living room less... well, gross.

The absorbency is no joke. My 50lb golden retriever had an 'accident' (we all know it was intentional), and the pad soaked it up like a sponge without leaking through. The non-slip backing? Works great on hardwood but slides around on laminate - pro tip: put a small rug gripper underneath if you have slippery floors.

Washing is where these really shine. Toss them in with your regular laundry (I use cold water), and they come out looking brand new - no lingering smells! Though one reviewer mentioned odor retention, I haven't experienced this after 10+ washes.

Size matters here. The 30x48" works perfectly for my medium-sized dog, but large breed owners might want to look at bigger options. The 'grass-like' texture isn't super convincing, but my dog took to it immediately - probably because it's softer than actual grass!

The biggest win? Cost savings. I was spending $40/month on disposable pads. These two have lasted me 3 months already with no signs of wear. They're not perfect (the gripper dots could be better), but for reusable pee pads, they're the best I've found.

Final verdict: If you're tired of wasting money on disposables and don't mind doing extra laundry, these are absolutely worth trying. Just maybe order one size up from what you think you need!
