I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Joey did the same thing and we switched to washables, he does much better with those.

| She should grow out of it. You might try washable/reuseable pee pads. You can buy them at Petsmart but the really good ones are made by Littlebit here at YT.

| The tray did nothing for Gracie. She figured out a way to shred in the center of the tray.

| Piccolo did this also. Either chewing or ripping. We tried switching to paper and it totally stopped.

| *nods* This is Turks latest thing. When I leave the room he can demolish a pad in less than 20 minutes. How he shreds it to a million pieces without me hearing what he's up to remains a mystery. I just hope he grows out of this phase quick. |

WAIT, give it a chance! Turk didn't like his at first either. He would only use it to play with his toys on. I put it away and planned to return it at some point. Few days went by and I tried again and apparently a light went on his little head. Hopefully it will work out for you too | |
