Did anyone have an issue where their puppy shredded the disposable pads, now purchased these and has not had a problem? Pad Shredding is our issue

Yes! Our Louie started to do that and I got these pads and they are great! I now have 5 of the larger ones and that way I can put a new one down each time I wash one. Get the larger ones, they can miss on the smaller ones...Louie is a Yorkie. �

Marissa,We use ours for our rabbits. The pads go down over vinyl or carpeting depending on the room. They are definitely more sturdy than disposable pads and not fluffy like disposables so I think they are not as much of an attraction as a chew toy, but that said, we have had some rabbits chew holes. I can't speak to puppies but I suspect puppies and rabbits are similar in terms of some things they'll chew and some things they won't - and what appeals to one puppy or rabbit may not appeal to the other.

The Whelping pads are nothing like disposable pads. They are far superior. These pads are very tightly woven fabric so I would say unless your puppy shreds carpet or blankets you shouldn't have a problem. These pads are very thin but somehow absorb an amazing amount of liquid. They wash beautifully. The only thing they don't have is the attractant scent the disposable pads do. You can take a very small amount of your pup's urine and place it on the pad and the pup will forever find it. I bought mine to deal with 2 senior dogs (each around 45 pounds) these pads have been a God send! Good luck!

Yes. My dogs shredded disposable pads. And I love these wheel ping pads. And I wash it a lot and it works great. My dogs have not even tried to chew it at all. I'm thrilled with this product.

I have used these for years with no problem. The pads should not be falling out if you have the pad facing up just like the picture. Any more questions please feel free to ask :)

I put them in the washer and have put them in the dryer and it doesn't seem to bother them. The only thing is that the edges pick up lint from the dryer. They are invincible!

I wash these on hot with bleach and dry on medium. I do two loads of 6 pads a day (I use for my 2 small dogs that are pee pad trained-I change the pad each time they are used). They are just now starting to start to have the tiniest bit of moisture spot through in a few spots. I rotate through about 14 pads, some are older than others. The newest 4 were purchased 6 months ago. I only noticed wet spots on a couple of the older ones...

Brian, I've tried soaking the pads in warm soapy water to loosen some of the dirt before I wash them in cold water. I think the pads say "do not use bleach". I finally got so frustrated that I ordered new pads because they seem to be impossible to clean after a couple of uses. If you hear from anyone else, I'd be interested in their results.Thanks,Stephanie Kentala

In my experience the velcro backing tears off the foam fairly quickly, much faster than the pads show any wear. I sent CG a message on facebook asking if they had any advice on extending the life as I was disappointed at their relatively short lifespan, but have yet to hear back.

I was skeptical myself as my pups ...Two Morkies like to shred the pads. This pad holder has three things going for it. Little nubs all the way around the outside where the edges of pad lay. Also there is a top piece that slides under two small pieces of plastic at the back of the holder and the front of the pad holder it locks the front down which in turn pushes those nubs into the plastic edges. I have had my holder in use now for a month. Pups have not shredded the pads since we started using it. They run thru it and it hasn't come loose...i have not had any leakage underneath the pad holder either. My pups are now using this one 99.9 % of the time. In my opinion it's well worth the cost. I went thru three other types of pee pad holders none of them kept the pads in place. This is the only one . I wish I would have started out with this one. Hope this answers your question.

We have a Springer Spaniel that is super active and jumpy. We haven't had any issues with durability with her...we put the bed in a corner. She does not chew the bed however and a big chewer could certainly chew through this one. The one thing that I don't like about the bed is that the cover on the pad of the bed is of very low quality and doesn't fit the pad well. We are looking for a replacement cover.

I use the pads for my toy poodle, who does not go outside at all. I put them on top of my carpet, and they work very well. No leaks to the carpet underneath. I cannot use the paper/plastic pads, as she thinks they are toys and tears them to shreds. She just uses these pads, and does not try to bite them or play with them. Problem solved! Great product.

I have them for a month now. It is obviously not enough time to answer your question. The pads show no signs of wear so far and LOOK sturdy, but looks can be deceiving....

They fell good and seem to wash and wear well. We have a Great Dane and she likes to tear up our bottom sheet trying to move them around to make herself comfortable when we are out of the house so they don't last long from that point of view. LOL

Yes, I found the product holds the pads in place nicely. I have an older dog so she is not to destructive when it comes to the pads. I can acutally just lay several pads over the grate at one time and remove one at a time as she uses them.

No problems of shredding with those I know have used it. The stage of life when this may be most useful could be before a puppy is teething, or with older rescue dogs.

Mine have done a great job for a year. I had cheap ones first and they shredded within a year. These look like they came out of the package.....

No I haven't had any issues with mine. Once u take them down you will have to buy new ones they aren't reusable.

They will leak somewhat but I also have 7 small dogs and they are indoor dogs and that is their bathroom. Change it twice daily and wash them and they are fine for us. And they last, which makes it much cheaper than disposable pads.

I have had the exact same problem with baby wipes. I have had these for months, and have had no problems.
