FAQs
What are ZorbiPads™?
ZorbiPads™ are reusable, absorbent, odor inhibiting pads designed for dog owners who love their dogs but hate the mess and odor resulting from them “going”. Not only can they be washed 300+ times, making them very cost-effective, they even help protect your floors and furniture.
How do they work?
Moisture is wicked through the top mesh layer of the pad into the center layer, where liquid is trapped and held like a magnet. The bottom is a protective layer that prevents moisture from escaping, keeping floors and furniture protected. Our pads utilize a reusable fiber technology developed exclusively for ZorbiPad™. This light-weight, extremely absorbent material can absorb 4 times its weight (a large ZorbiPad™ absorbs about 48 oz. of fluid). ZorbiPads™ are also designed with proprietary Microfine™ Technology that provides industry leading odor control and maximum absorption.
Which side is up?
The ZorbiPad™ logo should be face up.
How do I get my puppy/dog to use it?
If your pup is having trouble figuring out where you want him/her to “go,” we highly recommend our very popular Training Attractant Spray along with praise and reward to show them that this is the correct spot to use. It may help if you place the ZorbiPad™ over problem areas while training is in progress. You can also dab a bit of your dog’s urine onto the pad for extra encouragement.
Are they expensive to use?
ZorbiPad™ products are exactly the opposite! Not only are they odor inhibiting and Eco-Friendly, but they actually SAVE you money compared to regular disposable pads. One ZorbiPad™ can be washed 300+ times. You do the math!
How many do I need?
We recommend having at least two, one to use, and one to wash. Why stop there? ZorbiPads™ are so handy you are going to wish you had at least a dozen!
How do they stop odors?
In urine there is a bacteria present called Proteus, and these bacteria start to multiply and give off ammonia as a by-product. Ammonia is the reason for the urine smell. ZorbiPads™ contain odor inhibiting fibers that will not wash out, even after 300 washes. The absorbent, odor inhibiting layer slows the growth of these bacteria so your home stays smelling fresh.
I work all day and my dog is "home alone." Even though they are housebroken, will they still use ZorbiPads™?
Most dogs can be trained to use ZorbiPads™. There are so many variations of our product that you are sure to find one to accommodate your dog’s particular “go” needs. We offer Tray Systems, Grass systems, ZorbiPants™ and more! We also recommend using our Potty Training Attractant Spray to increase the likelihood that your pooch will use their ZorbiPad™.
Will they work for my older dog?
ZorbiPad™ products can be great for older dogs, whether they are experiencing incontinence, frequency, leakage, etc. we have got you covered!
Will they hurt my washing machine?
Most ZorbiPad™ products are machine washable and dryable, and will not cause any harm to your machines. Please be sure to see each individual product's care instructions before cleaning.
Do not machine wash or dry grass!
How often do I need to wash them?
Typically, ZorbiPads™ can be used multiple times through part or all of the day before they are laundered for reuse. However when it comes to our products that remain in closer contact with your dog such as ZorbiPants™, we would recommend checking more frequently to keep you pooch dry and comfy.
How long do they last?
With proper care ZorbiPads™ can last for years! If that doesn’t scream savings, I don’t know what does!
What else can I use them for?
Oh the possibilities are endless...
Of course ZorbiPads™ are notorious for being odor inhibiting and protecting your home from pooch messes…but why stop there?
