How many days will my pet pads last?
Use pad stock, daily changes per pet, spare allowance, shipping, and safety days to estimate depletion and a safe reorder date.
Preparing the calculator.
Formula and assumptions
This is an inventory baseline assuming average changes continue. Compare a higher-use range for travel, training, or illness.
Why the result can vary
Pad size, absorbency, placement count, time away, and health can change replacement frequency.
Example
Check the next pack order date
Inputs: 100 pads, 4 per day, 3 shipping days, 2 safety days
Outcome: About 25 days of stock, with an order date five days before expected depletion.
Cautions
- This calculator is not a reason to reduce changes needed for hygiene or health.
- Increase safety days when delivery timing is uncertain.

Frequently asked questions
What if each pet uses a different number of pads?
Enter each pet's average daily changes separately or use their combined household total.
Can large and small pads share one calculation?
If one pad does not represent the same replacement, save them as separate items.
Can I include extra pads for travel?
Yes. Use the travel-supplies view with trip days and a safety allowance to calculate the pad item separately.
