Hi guys...my original post should have read I got these at petsmart. They were nicer and bigger than walmart ones. Sheila, my pads, the Top Paw ones fit great in the frames. I am gonna take Carol's advice though and use her link to buy my next pads online in bulk. I love the top paw ones!! They are the best pad EVER!!! But, the dogs do just pee and poo on them so maybe if I can save $ it might be smart to do so...I'll let you know how they fit...I think from the measurements they will be fine...but I will let you know. The Walmart frames are much cheaper...$14.95 as opposed to Petsmart at $24.99.... But if you watch for coupons and sometimes they have 25% off sales, then they are way more worth the extra bucks for them than the walmart ones. I could see the walmart ones for a very small bathroom for a tiny dog...under 4 lbs...but no bigger. Just my thoughts!
