    Hi all,

    I'm concerned that if I use newspaper or puppy pads my 14week old Labrador puppy will rip it up and it will be everywhere and also digest some also.

    Does anyone have suggestions what they use or do?

    Thanks

    Yup, your puppy may well rip them up. You don't have to use pads, it just means there's a bit more cleaning if there are spills. I have to say, puppy pads are excellent for cleaning up, as they are so absorbent and plastic-backed :)

    Yes.

    I use puppy pads when they are tiny, but after nine weeks old I put a small piece of vet bed at the end of the pen in case of 'accidents' overnight.

    I never find it a problem with pups weeing on vet bed subsequently once they are dry overnight they are fine, I find.

    :)

    Yes - cut into quarters and used for mopping up, excellent. So one bag does me for one pup - first for baby wees, then for mopping up.

    :D
