How thick &amp; hard is this? I currently have Nutri-Vet's Pad Guard but it's such a hard wax, I can't really rub it in thoroughly w/o hurting her.

This is my 2nd winter using this and I love it for my 2 dogs. The consistency is like vasoline and it is easy to scoop out of the jar and apply to thier pads andup in between them so that the snow does not adhere. I recommend it to anyone whose dogs are outside a lot and find that the snow balls on their feet and causes them discomfort. It also protects them against the chemicals used to melt snow on sidewalks.

My dog wasn't thrilled either. Maybe you could try contacting wisdom panel about the drool. I doubt it though. They might be able to offer some suggestions on collecting specimens. Maybe your vet could offer suggestions or help. It is so worth it if you can get him/her swabbed.

My doxie has good sound teeth and she takes several minutes to chew this thing up...it is a HARD stick, not brittle, its chewy but its hard. If your Dog has teeth issues I would not suggest this at all. I think you could search for "get naked low calorie soft chews" or something similar to that, to get a GOOD for your pet treat...as my girl LOVES these, she whines for them, so I feel its a great product, MADE IN THE USA too! Hope you can find something =)

Personally, I think the flower was very challenging for my 40 lb English bulldog. She has gotten better at it over time, however. I think you should pick the one you like the best!

I have had dentist made night guards. When my dogs chewed my recently made guard, I did the do your own. I would try the Dentek products first. Be sure to read the directions several times before doing. It might take a couple times before it fits right. Be sure to talk to your dentist, first.

Yes that's how I have to use it. My dogs tried hard to get to it and couldn't. Its a hard plastic piece that sits on top of the pad (the pad sits below it and doesn't touch the plastic so they can't pull it out).

My bulldog just gnaws on this bone for hours. No cracked teeth but she has slowly worn it down, and does get tiny shavings off of it which, unfortunately she may have injested. She very occassionally would gag for a moment when I think a small shaving got in her throat. I finally through it away worried about it.

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.

I use the XS-XXS for my 3 lb yorkie. I did have to trim the velcro fastener quite a bit, and I tighten it up pretty tight on him. He pees more than a pantyliner can hold. I use regular Always foam with wings. The wings are a pain, but the pads really hold of lot of pee. And it doesn't squish out like with some other pads. My little guy marks ALL the time.

I use Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover, seems to work just fine. The pad is really heavy duty, I wash mine in the machine with a couple of towels, and it hasn't hurt it or worn it at all, it seems like it's going to last a long time. I have to say again that I really love the Piddle Place--so nice to not have to use disposable pads and fill up landfills, etc.

I have a female blue nose pitbull. She has really bad skin allergies and hives up. We tried everything even putting her on hypoallergenic shots once a week from the vet. Switching to dog foods sensitive to allergies didn't work either. The only success came from feeding her to 100% home made food. She has not had an outbreak for a year now. I can't say that this product is the solution, but I can say it's been part of the recipe for a year. We feed her meat, veggies, multivitamins for dogs, and salmon oil all mixed. I'm happy to share more info with you, just email me chrism987@gmail.com. I am not a vet, or an expert in animal care of any kind. I just went through a lengthy process of trial and error and found a solution that works for my dog.

There's nothing to clean up. It's a wax that is absorbed into your dog's paws to heal the dry, cracked pads and to make them pliable. Don't put a thick glob of it on. Just rub enough onto the paws and in between the pads to give them a nice, thin, even coat. Rub it in just like you would if you were putting lotion on your own hands.

It is strong, in prevents me from buying new pads every so often. It's hard to take of skin, so far, only soap and water with a goooood rubbing does the job...Highly recommended product.

The one that I ordered, the large, I had to fill with water. The dog wasn't loving the feeling of it. I wanted a gel, too. Check out dogbed4less (no error) their 4 inch memory foam are the best with the brown faux suede cover. Love them. If you find a good gel bed, let me know please, too! Take care! Jane

I use the pad for my 30lb pug in the car when going on long trips. It keeps her from panting, which she did even with the AC on high. I keep it in the fridge when not in use - Perhaps you could freeze it to keep it cooler longer.

Hi,We are using the large pad with our American Bulldog in an outside dog house. I would probably try putting the pad ON TOP of the hay--as it is the dog's body heat that makes the pad keep him/her warm. Our outside dog guy LOVES the pad, and our older indoor shar-pei who has a touch of arthritis, loves his cozy pad. Good luck with yours. I could not be happier with any purchase. ;-)

I use my fingers and rub into my dogs pads. A Bonus.... It's great on your hands also!
