I trained my 10# Havanese to go in the shower and these pads make it much cleaner and easier to keep the area clean. 

Prior to the pads, I used a swimming pool hollow tube shower mat which was very easy to clean. But he did seem a lot more comfortable when I went to using the pads over top of them. He became more reliable and it was much easier to keep the shower clean. Their construction makes Bandit feel comfortable standing on them. 

Without the pads, Bandit could easily step in his urine and track it all over the house. I buy the larger size and change them daily. I
They go into the laundry and stay fresh smelling. Plus when we travel he has his usual resource available.
