Beaphar Puppy Pads are specially developed to help house train your puppy by encouraging him to relieve himself in a place selected by you. Always put the mat in the same place. To further encourage your puppy to use the mat, you can add a few drops of Beaphar Swiftie/Puppy Trainer to it. These training mats are very absorbent and keep the floor clean and dry. You can also use the training mat as a floor cover under feeding and water bowls, or under litter trays.
