Honeycare Magic Star XL review: best pee pad for large dogs

The Honeycare Magic Star XL is our Best for Large Dogs pick: a 90 x 120 cm, 6-layer pad with adhesive backing, at around ₱449 for ten. If your dog keeps overshooting the edges of a normal pad, this is the fix, and the fix is area rather than absorbency.

Is the size the whole point?

Largely, yes, and that is not a criticism. A standard medium pad is 45 x 60 cm. This is 90 x 120 cm, which is four times the area. HoneyCare puts it at over 50 percent more surface than the pads it competes with, which understates it against the small sizes.

Big dogs do not miss because the pad cannot absorb enough. They miss because they stand in the middle and aim past the edge. No amount of layering solves that. Area does.

Is the 6-layer build and the sticker worth it?

The 6-layer construction is the thickest here, and it comes with odor-neutralising agents built into the pad rather than a fragrance sprayed over the top. That distinction matters if your dog is put off by scent, which is a real failure mode with perfumed pads.

The adhesive backing is the underrated feature. A large dog moving across a loose pad on tile will shift it, and a shifted pad is a soiled floor. The sticker holds well on smooth tile. On rough or textured surfaces expect corners to lift.

Is the Honeycare Magic Star XL worth it?

Around ₱449 as of August 23, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is ten pads, so roughly ₱45 each, which is by far the highest per-pad figure in this roundup. Per square metre of coverage it is far more reasonable than that number suggests, but you will still feel it.

The honest way to buy this: use it where you need the area, not as your everyday pad. Many owners run the XL in the dog’s main spot and a cheap bulk pad elsewhere.

Who the Honeycare Magic Star XL suits

Buy this if you have a large breed, if your dog consistently misses the edges of a standard pad, or if you need a pad that stays put on tile. Skip it if your dog is small or medium, where you would be paying for area nobody uses. See how it compares in our best dog pee pads in the Philippines roundup, and the sizing section of our dog pee pad buying guide has the weight-to-pad-size rule of thumb.

If the Honeycare Magic Star XL is not right

Small or medium dog? The Petsup Magic Pee Pad covers the standard case at a fraction of the per-pad cost. Want odour control without a premium size? The Animal Nature bamboo charcoal pads use a charcoal layer and also include adhesive tape. More on the Pet Supplies page.
