Croci Super nappy Carbon pads, 57×54 cm, 14 pcs are disposable absorbent pads for dogs with activated carbon from the Italian brand CROCI. The manufacturer calls them an improved series with even better absorbency and an especially soft surface. The pads keep moisture off the floor and keep things fresh at home, in the car or in a carrier.
How the pad is built
Each pad has three layers, each with its own job. The top layer is a soft, hypoallergenic non-woven material that lets moisture through quickly and keeps it from coming back up. The middle layer is absorbent and contains activated carbon: it holds a lot of liquid and prevents unpleasant odours. The bottom layer is non-toxic polyethylene that protects floors and furniture from leaks. The carbon is what sets this series apart from ordinary pads: it binds odour, so your home smells noticeably fresher.

Where they come in handy
The most common use is toilet training a puppy during the post-vaccination quarantine, when it can't go outside yet — see our article on puppy and kitten vaccinations for timing. The pads also help litter-train kittens. Owners of small dogs put a pad in a tray during cold spells or keep a permanent indoor toilet. A pad is useful after surgery when a pet can't get up, becomes a hygienic liner in a carrier on long journeys and lines the bottom of a whelping box.
How to pad-train a puppy
Put the pad where the puppy usually goes, and take it there straight after sleeping, eating and playing. Praise every success and reward with a treat, and quietly clean up accidents with an odour-neutralising product — scolding doesn't help. Gradually reduce the number of pads until one remains in a fixed spot. A detailed plan is in how to train a puppy to use a pad and toilet, and what else to buy for a new puppy is in a puppy at home: shopping list.
Who it suits
Puppies in quarantine and during toilet training, small dogs with an indoor toilet, senior and post-surgery animals, and trips in a carrier. More pads and trays are in the dog toilet accessories section.
Verdict
Croci Super nappy Carbon are quality three-layer pads with activated carbon: they absorb fast, control odour and don't leak. A versatile consumable for home, travel and caring for a sick pet. The size is small for large dogs, and for a permanent toilet it's worth calculating how many you'll use.
