The Costco Connection - September 2017

40 The Costco Connection SEPTEMBER 2017 BRINGING A brand-new puppy home presents some challenges, particularly when it comes to housebreaking.

Kirkland Signature Extra-Large Absorbent Pads help owners ease through this process.

The product does its job so well, and at such a value, that it has quickly become a big favorite among Costco members, according to Costco pet products assistant buyer David Deming.

“The extra-large size provides 23 x 30
inches of surface coverage, compared with
national brands that are 22 x 22 inches or
WHEN IT COMES to the 13-gallon trash bag,
not all bags are created equal. Kirkland
Signature Kitchen Drawstring bags have been
upgraded with Flex Technology. The patented
technology incorporated into the product
allows the KS kitchen bag to expand around
your trash, reducing tears and increasing
holding capacity. These bags also feature a
reinforced hem.

Andrea Lombardi, buyer for Costco sundries, explains, “Bag capacity is designated by gallon size, but that is not a true reflection of capacity. It is virtually impossible to give a fixed number to bag capacity, because it is dependent upon the bulk density, weight of the contents contained, and bag dimensions.

22 x 23 inches,” says Deming. “And these pads
feature a five-layer construction versus the
typical three layers of most other pads.”
The poly backing acts as a moisture barrier
to prevent leaks; tissue layers, super absorbent
polymers and a tear-resistant quilted top layer
speed up absorption, to help prevent splashing
or tracking throughout the house. These pads
also test consistently better than other pads in
liquid retention and liquid capacity, says Deming.

Deming adds, the pads come in handy if your pet is indoors all day while you’re at work, and they have other uses as well, from bedding to helping with messy jobs, such as changing car oil. Item #956696. Available in the warehouse and on Costco.com.—TFJ
