It's not your fault
The Truth About Your Dog's Accidents
"My poor baby had to hold it all day… because of me."
It's 6pm. You get to the front door and your stomach drops before you turn the key. Your dog is so happy to see you — and there it is, a puddle on the floorboards.
Here's the truth: your dog isn't naughty, and you're not a bad dog mum. Nine or ten hours is a long time to hold it, especially for a little dog. A lift, a few flights of stairs and a car park stand between them and the nearest patch of grass.
It wasn't always like this
Aussie Dogs Used To Have A Backyard. Yours Has Floorboards.
For generations, the Aussie dog had it easy — a big backyard, a patch of lawn, a dog door. Go whenever you like. But the backyard is disappearing. More of us than ever live in units, apartments and townhouses.
Then the lockdown puppies arrived. We fell in love, and got used to having them by our side all day. Then the office called us back in. That's not your fault. It's just unit life. And unit life needs a reusable, unit-sized solution.
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
“I bought RooPad to help with my dog accidents on the carpet, and they're off to a good start. The size and thickness are perfect for my needs. my dog just started to pee on them now! The pads feel really durable and leak-proof, and the anti-slip feature is great. For the price, I think they're good value for money. I've tried other products before that didn't work, but this one is the one took me about a week but my dog is fully using it now and no more pees on the carpet and no cleaning for me so i'm happy”
“i've been using the Roopad for the last 2 weeks and its been a life changer, i was scared if it will work at the beginning ill admit but it worked perfectly usually when i go to my office job with no one to take my dog for a walk and no backyard since i live in a apartment on the 4th floor i used to come home to puddle of pee before i walk in to my home, so tired sometimes i used to just sit there dreading cleaning it until i bought it i put it down and it worked on the first week and the second week no more pee on the floor thank god highly recommend this product”
“I bought two get i free for my puppy, at first he did not go near it. Then he sniffed and walked away and peed on the floor. After a few days he started using them. I ended up purchasing 6 pack more to put down when the other two are being washed. Puppies are just that, puppies, you cant expect them to go potty on the pads every time, they try but sometimes they don't make it. We absolutely love these pads from Rosamua.”
“I have to admit I had my doubts about the claims that this pad would be easy to train my dog to use and that it actually has pheromones to attract her to use it, but I am now a believer. I barely laid it out onto the floor and she went right to it. Easy as pie! It worked so well that I ordered more so I can have clean ones on hand. I've washed them multiple times and they come out of the wash looking great and they don't seem to be losing the attractant. My dog no longer has accidents in the unit. This is a winner and I love these pads. I highly recommend them!!”
“I'm happy with RooPad. The top layer absorbs fast. When there's an accident, the liquid doesn't just sit there. It soaks in quickly and doesn't leave the surface overly wet. The non-slip backing makes a difference. Our puppy likes to zoom across the room, and disposable pads would slide all over the hardwood. This one stays in place, which means fewer messes to fix. Washing has been simple. I usually rinse it first if needed, then throw it in with towels. It comes out clean and hasn't held onto any odor. It also hasn't thinned out or curled at the edges after multiple washes. I've even used it in the car once during a longer trip just in case. It folds up easily and doesn't take much space. For daily training and occasional accidents, this has been practical and less wasteful. It's become something we just keep in rotation.”
You've tried everything
Why Nothing Else Has Worked
If you've tried "everything", you're not alone. Every option has a catch.
Disposable pads
They seem cheap at first, until you're buying a new bag every week. The minute you leave for work, they're shredded, soaked through onto your floorboards, or your dog has gone right beside them instead. Then it's another bin run, another restock, and the same mess waiting for you tomorrow.
Fake grass trays
They look like the perfect fix, until the smell kicks in. You hose it down and scrub it, but it never feels truly clean, because the wee soaks into the base and sits there. Plenty of dogs won't even stand on it, and the ones that do often rip the grass apart.
Real grass subscriptions
Your dog loves the real thing, but your wallet doesn't. At around $65 a fortnight, it turns into a bill that never ends. Within a few days the ammonia smell creeps in. Some patches arrive late, dried out or mouldy, leaving you without a spot when you need one most.
Dog walkers & daycare
They're a lifesaver if you can afford them every day, but most of us can't. Even with a midday walk, your dog is still home alone for hours. Accidents don't wait for the walker to arrive. What your dog really needs is a spot they can use anytime, even when no one's home.
The solution
Meet RooPad. Made For Unit Dogs.
A proper indoor toilet spot for your dog. Soft underfoot, super absorbent, and built for unit life, so you can head to work without dreading what you'll come home to.
Put it down
Pop it by the balcony door, in the laundry or in the bathroom, anywhere your dog can easily get to while you're out. The grippy anti-slip base keeps it right where you put it, even on tiles and timber.
Their nose leads the way
A pheromone-infused surface helps draw your dog to the pad, and the absorbent core pulls wee down fast and locks it in. No puddles on top, no mess on your floor.
Wash and repeat
It's reusable — chuck it in the washing machine, dry it, and pop it straight back down. Swap in a fresh one from your pack while it dries. No bins, no stink, no weekly restock.
The science, made simple
Why Your Dog Goes Next To The Pad, Not On It
Dogs choose where to go by smell, not by sight. A dog's nose is thousands of times stronger than ours.
Outside, grass and dirt are covered in scent markers that say "go here." A plain pad just smells like plastic, so your dog sniffs it, then steps beside it and goes on the floor instead.
RooPad fixes this with a pheromone built into the fabric. You can't smell it. Your dog can. It gives off a clear signal: this spot, not the floor.
Put it where your dog already likes to go. Add a treat the first few times. Most dogs get it within a week.
The solution
How The Scent Does Its Job
1. Nose finds the scent
The pheromone in the fabric gives off a signal only your dog can smell.
2. Dog walks over
Their nose leads them straight to the pad instead of the nearest corner.
3. Dog goes on the pad
Add a treat the first few times, and most dogs get it within a week.
What you get
Built For The Way You Actually Live
Fast-absorbing multi-layer core
Wee soaks straight in and stays there, so it's not left sitting on top for paws to track through the unit. You come home to a pad that's done its job and a floor that's still dry.
Waterproof backing
A leak-proof layer underneath keeps your floorboards, carpet and rugs safe. No stains, no lingering smell, and no surprises at your end-of-lease inspection. Your bond will thank you.
Anti-slip base
Grippy dots hold it firmly in place on tiles, timber and laminate. No sliding, no bunching, and no finding the pad dragged halfway across the room by the time you get home.
Pheromone-infused surface
Dogs find their toilet spot by smell, not by sight. A pheromone scent built into the fabric gives your dog's nose a clear signal: this is the spot. Pop it where they already like to go, and it quickly becomes their go-to place.
Machine washable & reusable
Chuck it in the wash, dry it, and put it straight back down. No bin runs, no bags of soggy pads, and no restocking every week. Just a clean pad, ready when your dog is.
Tidy grey colour
A soft grey with a playful bone print that looks right at home in your unit. It doesn't show every mark, so it stays looking tidy between washes, even if guests pop over.

The money maths
One Cost, Not A Forever Bill
At around $65 a fortnight, real grass subscriptions add up fast, and the smell starts within days.
Less than two months of real grass, and you're done. Wash it, reuse it — no bins, no bill that never ends.
That's before you count the carpet cleaning, the replacement rugs and the stress of an end-of-lease inspection.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Most dogs pick it up fast. RooPad has a built-in scent that tells your dog "this is the spot," so there's no guessing. Put it where your dog already tends to go, usually near the door or on the balcony, and give a treat every time they use it. Most pups get the hang of it within a few days. Older dogs may take a week or two.
Disposables are thin paper and plastic, so they tear apart fast. RooPad is thick, stitched fabric with no loose plastic to pull at, so it's much harder to rip apart. No pad is completely chew-proof, though. If your dog is a serious shredder, keep a chew toy nearby and redirect them the moment they start mouthing it. Most dogs lose interest once they realise it's not crunchy or fun.
No, as long as you swap it regularly. The absorbent layer locks wee in and pulls it away from the surface, and the waterproof backing stops anything soaking through to your floor or carpet. A quick rinse or swap every day or two keeps things fresh. That's why the 6-pack is popular: one on the floor, a couple in the wash, and always a clean one ready to go.
Easy. Shake off any solids and give it a quick rinse. Then wash it in the machine on a normal cycle with regular detergent. Hang it out to dry, or tumble dry on low. Skip the fabric softener, since it coats the fibres and stops the pad absorbing properly. Skip bleach too, since it wears the fabric down faster.
RooPad comes in three sizes, so there's one to fit almost any dog.
- XS (30 × 30 cm) – tiny dogs and puppies (Chihuahua, Yorkie, Pomeranian)
- S (40 × 60 cm) – small dogs up to around 10 kg (Cavoodle, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Frenchie)
- M (70 × 80 cm) – medium dogs, or small dogs who like extra room
If you're between sizes, go bigger. Extra room means fewer near-misses on the floor.
Because one pad isn't enough in real life. While one's on the floor, another's in the wash and another's drying. With six, you can use more than one spot (lounge, balcony, bedroom), and you'll never be stuck waiting on laundry. It also works out to half price per pad, and you'll never need to buy disposables again.
RooPad gives your dog a clean, comfortable place to go while you're at work, so they're not holding on for hours or having accidents on the carpet. It's not a replacement for walks, play and company, though. Dogs still need exercise and time outdoors every day. If you're out for long days, a lunchtime walk, a dog walker or daycare a few days a week helps a lot. Think of RooPad as the backup, so your dog never has to hold it.
