Smartis (Magic Pet), 45×60 cm, 30 pcs are disposable pads for house-training dogs and puppies. Their key feature is an attractant scent that's memorable to the dog and draws it to the pad. Each pad has three layers: a soft hypoallergenic non-woven top, a fluffed cellulose core with moisture-locking gel, and a non-slip polyethylene backing that stops leaks. They suit puppies, dogs left home alone for long periods, sick and elderly animals, and travel in a carrier.
Why an attractant scent
Dogs choose toilet spots by smell. The scent on the pad shows a puppy where to go and speeds up training, especially in the first days in a new home before the youngster knows the rules. A scented pad is handy wherever you want a permanent toilet spot. More in how to train a puppy to use a pad and the toilet.

How to train a puppy
Lay the pad in a permanent spot away from the bed and bowls. Take your puppy to it after sleeping, eating and play, and praise and reward straight after it goes. If it misses, don't scold; clean the spot thoroughly with a cleaner that doesn't smell of ammonia. Gradually you can use fewer pads or move them towards the door if your dog will eventually go outside.
For older and sick dogs
Pads help when a dog is home alone for long periods or can't wait for a walk because of age or illness. Put a pad in the usual spot, or on the bed for incontinence. But note that frequent accidents in an adult dog warrant a vet visit. On caring for older dogs, see senior dog nutrition and care.
On the road
A pad can line a carrier or a car seat, with the leak-proof layer protecting the upholstery. Take a few spares on long trips.
Size and alternatives
45×60 cm suits puppies, toy breeds and small dogs. A fast-growing large-breed puppy will need 60×60 cm pads or bigger, such as AnimAll Puppy Training Pads. For carbon pads with odour control, see Nobleza 40×60. All options are in the dog pads collection.
How often to change
Change the pad once it's wet: many dogs dislike stepping on a wet surface and start going beside it. During training, you can leave a small piece of a used pad on the fresh one — the smell tells the puppy it's the right spot. Fold used pads absorbent side in and bin them with household waste.
Who it suits
Owners of puppies and small dogs who are house-training at home, and anyone needing pads for a senior dog, long periods alone or travel. More accessories are in the dog toilet accessories section.

They help house-train puppies faster and come in handy when travelling. The downsides are that the size only suits puppies and small dogs, and the manufacturer doesn't state absorbency.
