I love the Steri-lon pad. I bought a large roll and split it with another breeder. Pups stay dry and moisture is wicked away. The rubber stripping on the bottom of the pad holds the pad in place in the whelping box. The Steri-lon holds up well to many, many washings with bleach. I know the recommendation is to line dry, but I have also placed it in the dryer on the delicate cycle for less than 15 minutes and it comes out perfect. Terri assisted me with the purchasing of the Steri-lon. She is very helpful and followed up with emails and phone calls to make sure I was happy with the product. I would definitely buy from Pet Treasures again and highly recommend the Steri-lon! Marci Sale Larkspur Labradors
