Let me start by saying these Quilocare XXL puppy pads have been a lifesaver during my frenchie's potty training phase. The 28"x34" size is perfect - big enough for my clumsy pup to actually hit the target (most of the time).
The 6-layer absorption really works as advertised. I've tested them with full bladder releases (gross, I know), and they held up without any leaks onto my hardwood floors. The liquid turns into gel almost instantly - kinda satisfying to watch actually.
I was skeptical about the pheromone attraction claim, but my puppy does seem drawn to these pads more than cheaper brands. Pro tip: When first introducing them, I'd still use positive reinforcement to create the association.
Bulk value is decent but not amazing. At about $0.25 per pad, they're mid-range priced. While some reviewers found better deals, I appreciate the reliability - nothing worse than a leaky pad at 3 AM!
The thinness concerned me initially (they're not plush), but after two months of daily use in our crate, zero leaks. They do slide around on hard surfaces though - I put a non-slip mat underneath.
Unexpected bonus: These became our go-to for road trips! Lay one down in hotel bathrooms and voila - instant puppy toilet that contains messes completely.
The verdict? If you want reliable, large-format pads that actually work for training, these deliver. But if you're just looking for cheap accident catchers, generic brands might suffice.
