Amazon Basics Cat Litter Pads, 40-Count

I bought these to use in the Breeze system and was a little leery based on the price and other reviews that said they didn't work as well as the Breeze pads. I had a not so awesome experience with the Breeze pads (they smelled really awful after just one or two times of my cat using the box). I was pleasantly surprised to find that these are much better than the Breeze pads! They are really absorbent and fit the box perfectly. No added fragrance or scents which is better for everyone. I will be ordering more of these and am very happy with this product!

Terrific! I got the Purina Tidy Cats Breeze system after reading a zillion (ish) reviews here. Because money was tight, once I got my cats using it I switched to wood pellets. They worked ok. Then I discovered I could buy the actual pellets in bulk here pretty cheaply (also I have gone more than a month on a bag!) But I also got the amazon basics puppy pads based on a review. I had to cut them in half. I also had to change them every day and a lot of the times they leaked. Then I saw these. PERFECT! work as well or better than the ones that came with it - and I can go at least 2 days before changing them (I have 2 cats). Definitely great. The system is so much nicer than the clumping kind that all in all I love it - I think it isn't too costly considering how long the pellets last and that these are fairly cheap. (And yes, my cats took at least a week to switch over the the new litter box - I kept the old one without changing it as suggested - but they switched and seem fine with it now.)

Ok, so to start I'd just like to point out the price comparison. ~$28 for 20 Tidy Cats breeze pads, or ~$13 for 20 Amazon Basics pads (rounded up). These are literally to absorb cat urine, so you might as well be throwing your money in the garbage with any litterbox related items. That being said, it just plain makes more sense to throw less money away!Secondly, these work just as well as the original Tidy Cats pads. I haven't had any issues with absorbancy, and they last just as long as the original pads in my boxes, 2 boxes and 2 cats. I'd also like to point out that one of my kitties is on a steroid regimen, so he drinks lots of water and urinates a lot - like having a third kitty.Thirdly, some reviews said they don't absorb odor. How long are you leaving them? They only last 2-3 days each, just like the Tidy Cats. To break it down, cat urine smells so bad because bacteria first breaks down the urea, which releases ammonia, and the urine continues to break down the longer it sits. As the process continues, it then releases mercaptans, another nasty substance - characteristically known for the smell when a skunk sprays. This is why you must use enzyme cleaners to get rid of the odor. So, it doesn't matter what pads you use, if they are left too long, they will smell.These are an absolutely wonderful replacement for the high prices Tidy Cats original pads!

These a super worth it!! We are die hard breeze fans but decided to put these to the test. We didn’t add anything to them or sprinkle any baking soda or any of that. We wanted to see how they themselves held up, and we were not disappointed! We are running on an every Tuesday change the cat pad schedule. So every Tuesday her cat pad gets thrown away and the tray washed with hot water and dawn and a new cat pad being placed. We also completely change her pellets the first of every month, trash all of the pellets and wash the entire system in dawn and hot water. Now if you are using the system how it is supposed to be used and changing/cleaning exactly how you’re supposed to then this is a great option!!! We have absolutely no smells or that horrid “cat pee musk “ never ever! We are not actually cat people but fell in love with our calico girl!! Our girl is very clean and we keep her litter system in order.

I’m on the fence whether or not I like these pads. Especially when comparing them to the Breeze pads, it’s a tough call. The biggest selling point with these Amazon pads are the price. Compared to the Breeze pads cost, these are less than half the price.Again, comparing them to the breeze pads, there are 2 glaring negatives for me. The first is that I can get 3 days of use (for my one cat) out of each Breeze pad, where I only only get 2 out of the Amazon ones. And on that 2nd day, the the pad is holding maybe only half of the pee in it. It’s consistently messy for sure. Not to say that doesn’t happen with the Breeze pads, but it’s not constantly a messy clean up with them.The other detriment is the smell that comes when cleaning the tray. These pads do nothing to mask any odor from the urine. I’ve found that Breeze pads do help mask some. Never would have known this without trying these Amazon pads, but the Breeze pads really do a good job keeping the smell to a minimum. That being said, the smell is only noticeable when changing the pad. I don’t notice a pee smell from the box any other time.I may buy these again, mainly because of the price, but we will have to see.

OK, after two weeks of comparing these versus the Breeze brand pads, I can conclusively say the Breeze pads are better. But how much better? Over the course of my testing back and forth, I found:1. The Breeze pads last one day longer (I have two cats, 1 box). Breeze lasts 4 - 4.5 days, Basics pads last 3 - 3.5 days. The Breeze seem to expand to a thicker size, allowing more time/absorption.2. The Breeze pads definitely control odor better. I almost cannot smell any pee when changing Breeze, but can definitely smell the pee when changing the Basics.Conclusion: Are the Breeze 3x better than Basics? At current prices, a 40-pack of Breeze is almost $60, and the same size of Basics is $22, a little more than 1/3rd the cost. I haven't made up my mind yet as I have a big supply of Breeze left, but they are certainly usable, and honestly I don't notice additional smell until I change the pad. There is one additional positive to the Basics pack - it uses far less plastic in the packaging - the 20pk only had one overwrap for the whole set, whereas the Breeze are wrapped in individual plastic per 4 pads. I would suggest trying a set and see if they work for you, as the $avings are considerable.

Absorbe mucho, no escurre y tampoco es necesario cambiarlo diario

We ordered these to use with the Breeze cat litter system as they were much cheaper per pad. They work just as well and we have enough on-hand that we don't skimp on weekly replacements.

Ces tapis de litière sont super pour le transport du chat dans sa caisse pour les longs trajets. D'habitude je mets un vieux torchon, mais qui peut ne pas suffire. Là pas de risque que cela coule grâce au côté absorbant, et les odeurs sont limitées.N'hésitez pas à indiquer si mon commentaire vous a été utile, cela fait plaisir de se savoir lu.

Excellent product, again AmazonBasics produce a product that is far better than the price would say it is, these are some of the best we have used.Very Absorb and don’t seem to need changing as often as some of the brands I have used over the years.They also reduce any smells to pretty much zeroVery pleased with these pads they superb quality, well made and do the job very well

Die Pads sind eigentlich für ein bestimmtes System von Katzentoiletten gedacht, das es in Deutschland anscheinend derzeit gar nicht gibt. Es werden Pellets auf ein Gitter geschüttet und das Pad liegt in einer Schublade unter dem Gitter, falls doch mal was durchgeht. Da ich so eine Katzentoilette nicht besitze, konnte ich die eigentliche Funktion nicht testen.Da unter meinen vier Katzen leider eine Stehpinklerin ist, besitze ich mehrere Modko Modkat Katzentoiletten. Diese haben einen Kunststoffeinsatz, der leider beim täglichen Reinigen unter der Schaufel leidet, wenn diese am Boden kratzt. Deshalb fand ich die Pads eine gute Idee, weil sie einerseits den Einsatz schützen, andererseits diesen auch sauberer halten.Bevor ich den Einsatz mit Katzenstreu befülle, lege ich jetzt ein Pad hinein. Es ist leider nicht ganz groß wie der Einsatz, schützt aber ausreichend. Unter der normalen Menge Katzenstreu verschwindet das Pad völlig. Die Pads riechen für meine Nase nicht und auch die Katzen stören sich nicht daran, denn die Toiletten werden wie gewohnt benutzt.Bei der wöchentlichen Grundreinigung habe ich das Pad entfernt. Es war an den Ecken etwas zerfetzt, eine unserer Katzen scharrt sehr intensiv, ansonsten hat es seinen Zweck erfüllt. Nichts klebte am Boden fest und man konnte dem Pad ansehen, dass es etwas aufgefangen hat. Gerochen hat man allerdings nichts, also scheint die Geruchsabsorption zu funktionieren. Entsorgt habe ich das Pad zusammen mit dem Katzenstreu im Restmüll.Fazit: auch wenn ich die Pads nicht für den eigentlichen Zweck nutzen konnte, waren sie doch nützlich und ich werde sie wieder einsetzen.
