Poptart(maltese) use to shred pee pads all the time, he loved doing it, it was his favorite activity. I tried taping it down, got a pee pad holder and neither worked. He just grabbed the middle of it and chewed that part up. I finally got tired of picking up pieces of shredded pee pad so I bought the reusable/washable ones. It was the best investment I made. He can't chew up these pads, they are made of a cloth material like a quilt would be. And they have saved me alot of money. I use to spend $60 a month a disposable pee pads and now I get to save all that money because I have the washable ones. I really love them, they work great. I just stick in the washer when they are dirty, add detergent and dry them and they come out looking brand new everytime!! I highly recommend them!!!
