I used pee pads with both of my dogs from the time I got them ( Bishon was 7-weeks old and rescue cock-poo was 6- months); until the day that they died.

They never once went anywhere in the house but on the pee pads (that's what I called them) or they went outside.

I think you need more information and what I would want to know:

* how long has the dog used them?
* any episodes of incontinence as the dog is older?
* how big is the dog? Mine were little and since I had two dogs, I used regular
size but put two down. They always hit the bulls eye (center).
* how often does she change them? When I was home, I would put fresh down
as soon as they were used. If I was out, as soon as I got home. They never
smelled as the pads have some kind of subtle dog deodorant. I never had
them leak as there is plastic on the bottom.

Bottom line: very well-trained to use pee pad dogs do fine but anything can
and will happen.

Only you know if you feel OK about the uncertainty.

Hope this helps.
