From personal experience I no longer buy the Puppy Pee pads. My yorkie would tear them up really bad. Well I just found out that puppy wee pads have very tiny traces of urine on all the pads and it was possible that they smell this and instead of wanting to use the pad ,they want to tear it up .I use the pads that go on hospital beds sold at Walmart 18pk they are much bigger also for only $5.27.
They do not tear it up anymore. Lola tore it up like the first two nights that she was here , I guess not enough chew toys around here. I tried taping it. I used the big clear tape. I swear you could not even notice it on the floor. Well they noticed it and they went NUTS scratching the floor until they took the tape off! Now they dont bother the pee pad anymore! I have a basket filled with toys that she can get into and I keep another toybox that they can get into in my bedroom. So she chews on her toys now
