These are the best I have tried!
I buy puppy pads to put under and around my indoor cats' litter trays as one cat just cannot manage to keep his wee within the high sided trays! Newspaper just gets soggy so I tried as cheap as I could get puppy pads - they worked better than newspaper but I found no matter how many I used, wee managed to seep underneath and wet the tiled floor.
These particular pads, whilst more expensive than the cheapest, really do seem to soak up more wee without any leakage - he is a big cat and does a bucketful at a time, some of course goes in the litter... but a decent amount does not.
I would not say they are extra large.. just a couple of cms bigger one way which makes little difference, but it is the soakage-up power that seems so much better.
I can not comment on how they would work for a puppy of course - but for a cat who cannot get his backside in the right place, they work a treat and I will continue to use these ones!
