Your Pet+ Puppy Pad is built for 300+ machine washes — about a year of daily use. Here's how to keep it working like new.
Before the first wash
No prep needed. You can use your pad straight out of the box — the pheromone layer is already active.
Washing
- Shake off any solid waste and rinse quickly if needed.
- Machine wash on a cold or warm cycle.
- No bleach — it can damage the pheromone layer and waterproof lining.
Which detergent to use
We recommend Pet+ Laundry Detergent Sheets. They're made for exactly this — fragrance-free (which keeps the pheromone signal intact), free of harsh chemicals that would break down the pad's special layers, and formulated with enzymes that handle pet hair and organic residue better than standard detergent.
If you're using a different detergent, pick one that's fragrance-free and gentle. Avoid anything with bleach, brighteners, or strong perfumes.
Drying
Tumble dry on low, or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat — it can weaken the anti-slip base over time.
How often to wash
Most pet parents wash every 1–3 days, and rinse between washes if needed. Treat it like a heavily-used bath towel.
When to replace
You'll know it's time when the pad loses its absorbency or the bottom starts showing wear. For most households, that's around 300 washes — about a year of daily use.
