Luci only tore the pad once or twice when she was a pup...from bordom I think. I got the pad holder, and she was fine. Now I can leave a pad down without the holder and she's fine.
But I like the looks of the wizdog! Sometimes Luci will walk through her pee on the pad and get "stinky paws."
I love that the wizdog would prevent that from happening...but I don't know if I want to switch methods now when she does so well with the pads.
