| Puppy pads Is it normal for mom to chew up puppy pads? We have a rescued stray lab/rottie mix we are fostering who ended up being pregnant and having a single pup. Her boy is now 2 1/2 weeks old and beginning to relieve himself, so I set up a puppy pad for him. Mom (about 18 months - 2 years) is chewing up the pads. I am not sure if this is just because she is a young lab and likes destroy stuff or because she is trying to clean up after him as she usually does. I know you guys normally deal with yorkies but thought you might have a better understanding and have some suggestions. (Don't worry mom is set for spay after puppy weaned & puppy already has future home set) |

| At 2 weeks old, my mommas are still cleaning up their babies themselves....she is probably trying to do just that....eating that absorbant white stuff in disposable pads is not good for them so I would either use a washable pad that she can lick the little puddle up, or even a small baby blanket....I am thinking that pup is probably not going to get lost up in a small blanket! |
