Puppy pads are a must-have accessory for owners of small pups and are a suitable purchase even if you don't have time to walk your dog. Small dogs don't have tremendous control over their bladder and must go potty much more frequently than senior dogs. Do you want to protect your floors or carpets? Does the weather outside make it impossible to walk your fluffball? Does your puppy need positive reinforcement, or has your senior dog started to lose control of his bladder? In that case, purchasing training pads for dogs will be worthwhile.
