Compare the CPAD-012 Short Point and CPAD-015 Ultra Wing comfort pads for RX-070 and RX-050 e-collars. Match the pad to your dog's fur type and thickness.
Quick answer
Choose the CPAD-012 Short Point Comfort Pad for dogs with short, single-coated fur; choose the CPAD-015 Ultra Wing Comfort Pad for dogs with long, thick double coats. Both fit the RX-070 and RX-050, so the decision comes down to coat type and how much reach you need.
Why coat type decides the pad
The CPAD-012 uses shorter brass points to reduce skin irritation, while the CPAD-015 adds titanium wings with a more aggressive design to push through dense fur. Putting the Ultra Wing on a short-coated dog can cause unnecessary pressure, and the Short Point may not reach the skin on a thick double coat. The right pad is the one that matches your dog's fur, not the one with more features.
The trade-off between comfort and reach
The CPAD-012 prioritizes comfort: its shorter points and curved multi-point design suit sensitive skin under short fur. The CPAD-015 prioritizes reach: its wings are built to part long, dense fur, but that extra contact is wasted on a dog that doesn't need it. Neither pad is universally better; each solves a different problem.
Key trade-offs at a glance
- Coat type match: CPAD-012 is developed for short, single-coated fur (Chihuahua, Dachshund, Jack Russell Terrier). CPAD-015 is developed for double-coated fur (Akita, GSD, Husky, Labrador). If your dog's coat is borderline, start with the pad that matches the majority of its fur.
- Contact style: CPAD-012 uses shorter brass points for a gentler feel; CPAD-015 uses titanium wings for deeper reach.
- Compatibility: Both pads are compatible with the RX-070 and RX-050. The CPAD-015 also lists ME-300 and FE-560 compatibility. Check your receiver model before ordering if you use multiple systems.
Product facts
- CPAD-012 Short Point Comfort Pad: Multi-point pad with shorter brass points designed to increase comfort and reduce skin irritation. Less pressure per point makes it a better choice for dogs that react to standard contact points.
CPAD-012 Short Point Comfort Pad - CPAD-015 Ultra Wing Comfort Pad: Features two titanium wings with a more aggressive design to reach the skin on dogs with long, thick dense fur. The wings part heavy coat so contact stays consistent on breeds like Akitas and Huskies.
