I used these in a pet carrier under rabbits while they were inside during some cold winter days. These kept the smell down and helped contain the mess. I'm sure I put these through more abuse than they were designed for so if you need them for normal processes then I'm sure these will work fantastically for you. I was very pleased with them.Here’s my rating scale for products:1 Star: Do not buy. This item has serious flaws. I would never under any circumstances use again.2 Stars: Do not buy. Its usable at best, but you could easily find something better.3 Stars: Just ok. Buy if you can't find an alternative. Some issues need to be addressed.4 Stars: Recommend purchase. This item met my expectations.5 Stars: I love this product and would highly recommend to friends & family.Additional Information: As a Vine reviewer, I know that people depend on these early revies as I to depend on reviews when shopping on Amazon. I fully intend to give honest insights. Because I pay taxes on the retail value of the products I receive (approximately 40%, which includes 15.3% for Social Security/Medicare taxes and 25% for Federal Income taxes), I will not only leave a review, but should my view change I will update the review as well.

I purchased these as a less expensive alternative for DryFur Carrier Pads, as these appear to be the only competing product available anywhere, not just on Amazon! We are preparing to take our two cats on a long-haul flight and I absolutely love DryFur pads for lining their hard-sided carriers. I was hopeful for these pads, as they are approximately half the price of the DryFur pads and available with Prime shipping, however I am disappointed by their quality and will be returning them.These pads are much thinner and clearly not lined with the same absorbent materials as DryFur pads. Although the outermost layer of these pads seems to be a similar material to DryFur's product and therefore will resist shredding by pets, I doubt the thinner pad itself is anywhere as absorbent or that it can lock away moisture as well as the DryFur pads. (I didn't test their actual absorbency because I intend to return them.)The sides of the pads, which are meant to fold up alongside the inner edges of the carrier, are also thinner than the DryFur product and don't appear to be filled with anything at all. Whereas the DryFur products are lined all the way to the edges and are as absorbent as the center of the pad, the outermost edgest of this product are not filled at all and appear to consist of only the front and back layers of the outer liner material. The sides are flimsy and could easily be folded over by a pet, preventing the pad from staying completely put against the bottom of the carrier, risking both your pet sliding around in their carrier and potentially missing the pad altogether if they relieve themselves.These pads might be suitable for a short trip or as a liner for a small animal enclosure. I think they could even still be a reasonably good carrier liner for a very small animal (up to 5 pounds or so, perhaps--not heavy enough to move it around themselves), but I won't trust it to keep my 14-pound cat comfortable.
