BrilliantPad Indoor Dog Potty for Small Pets, Basic | Automatic Self Cleaning with Odor Control, Puppy Training Alternative to Grass Turf, Mess Free | Includes 1 Disposable Absorbent Pee Pad Roll

I was a little hesitant to buy this, because when you're dealing with dog pee there are really no guarantees. We have a tiny pad-trained chihuahua rescue who we've been unable to get to go outside. We live in the city and it's too noisy and scary for her, no matter how many things we try. Inside, we'd been using a plastic tray with normal pads, but she would only go on them once each, twice if we were lucky. We were going through about 3 or 4 huge pads every day, plus tons of paper towels because she'd always miss. We have gotten it down to a science with Brilliant Pad, so there are virtually no misses. It is raised off the ground, making it harder for her to miss/pee while walking. She knows to look for pads and Brilliant Pad is smooth, so I place a little square of paper towel onto the pad, which she innately knows to aim for. We place it on the side that is close to the power/where the pad disappears, so we are able to roll away only a few inches each time she goes. We only go through a full length of the pad about every day. It is so much easier, so much less waste, and virtually no smell or cleanup. I can see how larger dogs or puppies might have issues getting used to it, but it couldn't be more perfect for our little adult chi.

This has been a God-send for my 26-week-old Maltese puppy! Thought the action and sound when rolling up used portion to reveal a new pad was going to freak him out; instead he was so curious he darn near SAT on it while "supervising" the operation! As a 77-year-old with balance/mobility issues, however, I am kind of dreading when a new pad needs to be installed...and think I'll holler for help! We'll see. Otherwise it's working beautifully--better than expected. Another thing: description does NOT tell you where to find the Manual button to advance the pad. Look at the pictures included and you'll get the hang of it.

Nooooo. I have a maltesse. she went on it a fre times. Idea is sensible. but its too high off ground. Biggest issue is the main purpose for buying this thing. Cleaning. 1 no side protetion. So pee gets under matt. All over system. even drips to floor. Maybe would be okay to deal with a lil spillage and clean up on system & your floor if the rolls were not so EXPENSIVE. there is a timer to set. Great. In theory. but if your busy you want it to clean itself as often as possible. but timer is a timer. It rolls when it rolls. So wastes soooooo much roll. If im not going to set timer to not waste rolls then better off with pee pads on a box. Low one. If it had a sensor only rolled away mess when there was mess, maybe it would be worth it. But still doesn't change the height or fact that gets wet under pad and pee still makes to floor. Motion freaks dog out. So she avoids it. It must have been set to roll at somepoint when she was about to use. Now she wont go near it. But i was most shocked at how quickly roll was finished because it looked sooooo big. Didnt last a week on highest roll setting which is what any one would use when out. No point to have system if its not going to clean the mess ,contain odor. So I'd say unless your dog has no issues with movement they don't understand. And you dont mind spending 80 bux or more every week or 2 for pads. Better off with just pads. Plus the system is enormous. we have a house. Not small apartment. no where convenient to put this thing. Biggest mistake ive ever made on a purchase i was sure would solve an issue. i want my money back. I have given it time. Been like 6 months. I want my money back.

So glad I purchased the Brilliant Pad! I have two tiny dogs who were paper trained, but I still had to pick up the used paper to discard it. And I put pads underneath to keep them from leaking which had to be washed. Disgusting! I simply put their pads on the Brilliant Pad for a month so both dogs could get used to it. And voila! They are now using the Brilliant Pad without any problem. So convenient and easy to replace the rolls. No smell and I keep it in my bathroom. I recently bought a second one for the main area of the house in case I forget and close my bathroom door. This is such a timesaver, and I don’t have to deal with the smell or the mess anymore. Highly recommended. I can’t say enough good things.

I really wanted to like this pad , but in order for it to truly work there’s much improvement needed. I gave it only one star because it failed to do what it’s intended for. First of all, I have three miniature dogs. They were already pad trained so that was not an issue. The automatic feature has never really worked because when they jump up on the machine to do their business , the paper pushes away keeping the machine from rolling the paper in . Pee and poo accumulate underneath. I can never expect this to automatically clean and it never has. At first, I thought it was because I have 3 dogs. I trialed it alone with my smallest toy dog and she also pushed the paper aside keeping the machine from automatically changing the paper. My suggestion to the company is to have more tension on the roller keeping it from moving easily and to have grooves ( tracks) on either side where the paper roll ends can remain in tact. I still have this machine because admittedly I hate changing pads every day and since I’m a stay at home mom , I can manually touch the pad , clean under it and push the roller button. As other reviewers stated , I’ve never used a complete roll -another design flaw. If one had fully tested this product they would’ve realized poo takes up a lot of space. Either the rolled side needs to be larger or the paper roll should be smaller ( hopefully, charging less for the rolls). Bringing up another point - the paper roll replacements are expensive I spend more because I have 3 dogs using it. The stink when the roll is done is tremendous- I’m not sure there’s a way to remedy that. I take a trash bag hold my breath and stuff it in !
