Has anyone ever used a baby playmat for their puppies/small dogs? I bought a used one when I adoped Tia at Easter and both my babies love it. I keep things different by changing the hanging toys on it. It's funny to watch them play on it. Mine is a lion and the ears make a crackle sound. Tia loves the ears. Ally just loves playing and tugging at the toys.

No but it does sound like a great idea. The next time I am at the thrift store I am going to have to look to see what they have.

Easy to take apart and wash. I think it's great. I even attached the top part to Tia's IRIS puppy pen when she was quarantined with ringworm. She loved the dangling toys, especially when I mixed them up and she had something new to terrorize. Both my babies still play on/with it. Tia, a little over six months, and Ally, a little over 1.5 years. They even use it as a bed/pillow. It's easy to fold and put away. I bought mine used for a couple of dollars.

this is a great idea and I can't wait to try it. My Blackjack loves to play.

Awww, what a great idea..never thought of that. Can you post a picture? Would love to see what it looks like

The first is Ally (upside down) and Tia playing on it.
Second is Tia when she was tiny taking a nap.
Third is Tia right now (8/2/10).

One more of Tia playing (looks squeezed because it is a snapshot of video).

Thank you sooooo much. I love it.

bran · 08-02-2010, 08:12 PM

ohhh how cute and i think that would be so much better than the hundred of toys we have lol think i will check into getting one of these

Ziva had one that the neighbors tossed- once it got in the way I took it apart and she still has the mat (for winter- she hates to walk on the cold tile floors)and the toys. I buy all Zivas toys at church and yardsales for 25 cents! Baby blankets are cheap too and sooo cute! I make her beds and nap sacks out of them.Last week I got a baby nursing sling for $2 that she loves and it is so comfortable (I found that it was recalled for babies but...)

If you see any good deals, let me know and I'll drive up from Palm Bay. Baby stuff seems to be so perfect for our little furbabies. Right now I'm looking for a good doggie stroller for my babies.

I love the baby play mat, great idea. I use a baby pack and play for Brielle to sleep in. It's on the side of my bed and she is safe and sound all night!

lexipoo · 08-03-2010, 04:20 PM
