Extra-small dog potty pads are important training and lifestyle aids sized specifically for toy and extra-small dog breeds. Tiny breeds sometimes need appropriately sized indoor potty solutions, and XS dog potty pads offer just the right surface area and absorption. Ideal for house training, apartment living, incontinent and senior dogs, or pups who need frequent potty access, toy dog potty pads help protect floors while giving your furry friend a comfortable place to go.
Chewy's selection of potty pads for extra-small dog breeds includes single-use disposable pads, washable and reusable fabric pads, and puppy training pads with special attractants. Available in scented and unscented varieties, some include additives like charcoal and baking soda for odor control or moisture-locking gel to contain liquids. Here are some factors to consider when shopping for extra-small dog potty pads:
Breed size and usage needs: Extra-small dog potty pads are designed for toy breeds with smaller waste output, but dogs who go frequently or have trouble aiming may need a larger pad.
Size and fit: XS potty pad dimensions vary from product to product, so be sure to check sizing to get the right one for your dog's size and your space.
Absorbency: Choose a pad with high absorbency to meet the needs of pups who potty often or those who must wait longer between outside potty breaks.
Leak protection: Waterproof backing and sealed edges help protect floors, and moisture-locking cores help prevent spills and leaks, too.
Comfort and protection: A wicking, quick-dry top layer and absorbent core help keep paws clean and dry, while non-slip backing keeps your pup on steady footing.

Toy and extra-small breed dogs should usually use extra-small dog potty pads. However, you may need to size up if your dog has difficulty doing their business on a smaller pad. Petite breeds such as chihuahuas, Yorkies, Maltese, Pomeranians, and similarly sized dogs can usually use the smallest size potty pads, but check product descriptions for exact dimensions and breed size guidance.
Many extra-small dog potty pads absorb as well as larger pads, but they may not be able to hold as much liquid. Some offer high absorbency, despite their size, by using high-tech materials like liquid-locking gels. However, if you have a multi-dog home or your dog uses the potty frequently, you may need to get a larger pad for added capacity and absorbency.
Extra-small dog potty pads can usually be used in crates. People sometimes put them in travel crates for protection against accidents, but they are not generally recommended for crate training or regular use. Most experts recommend taking your puppy or dog out of the crate to potty frequently in order to teach good bathroom habits and keep the crate clean. The crate should be used primarily as a place to rest, not as a place for using the bathroom.
