We put one down for Ally (when she was a baby) knowing that we would be gone from the house for 3 to 4 hours. We taped it down. We came home to what looked like a pillow fight. So...we never really used them for her. When we adopted Tia at Easter this year, we found out she had just about everything, to include ringworm, so she was quarantined to a puppy pen. I put the pads down for accidents and it worked for a while. (Our dogs potty outside.) After about a month, she started shredding them. I tried to get her to stop, but she would just continue. At one point, I thought she was choking on a bell that was missing on a toy, so I took her to the ER. She was choking on the stuffing from the pad. In my panic, I forgot I took the bell off the toy for her safety...and didn't even think she could choke on the pad! |
