The pads that you buy at the store usually have plastics in them, so they don't break down very well. But, if you make your own pads, with cotton, then yes, those will. You can also buy (or make) washable, reusable pads.

It can take up to 800 years for a commercial menstrual pad, such as Always or Kotex, to decompose because they're made from non biodegradable plastics, synthetics, and heavily treated with preservatives. This is one ns such as organic cotton are switching to options such as organic cotton pads like Natracare or cloth pads like Lunapads which are greener in how they're manufactured as well as decomposing quicker.

It takes 180 days if they are in proper condition of composting. Like i am using Anandi pads they get decomposed in 180days as they are 100% biodegradable and organic .But don't ask about how many days or time is taken for the chemical pads to get decomposed , you wont believe it takes 800 years to decompose a chemical pad but than also not fully. I would always go for organic pads like anandi pads

Yes there is a sanitary pad for dogs. Most of the pads for dogs are really sanitary. Deciding on what dog pad you want really depends on your preference.
