Eaten puppy pads 😞 What should I do?

[Claire W]

They don’t normally do this but either Edward or Elizabeth or both of them has chewed and eaten some of their puppy pads

Should I be concerned? What should I do?

Mine have done it, too. I really wouldn’t worry too much. Just keep an eye on their output for the next couple of days. pesky piggies!

My boys have both had a good munch on a puppy pad before, nothing to report. As VickiA says, just keep an eye on any back end activity but I wouldn't worry.

Mine have done this before (out of the blue like yours have) and they were fine

Keep an eye out for the next day or so and see a vet promptly if one of them suddenly looks off and is off their food.
The vast majority won't have any issues and will remain fine.

I don’t tend to use them as I find they all love chewing the blue plastic bit. I’m sure they’ll be fine x

I changed to puppy pads as I was finding it hard to source newspapers but I may have to go back to using newspapers if they make chewing their puppy pads a regular thing

You’re not alone Claire! Mine used to pull up the fleece to chew on them. Even when they had them in their hay tray they’d chew on them occasionally instead of eating hay

I fold the edge of our puppy pads in so they don’t stick up and they have never noticed them!
Hopefully they will be okay, I’m sure piggies have eaten worse

Mine did nibble the puppy pads a few times but they were OK... just keep an eye on them.. x

We use newspapers instead. We are really lucky that a neighbour saves them for us and we only get the Sunday Times which has got thinner year by year. He gets the Daily Mail which is a lot of paper for the money I also used to get papers from the local Old Folks Home but since Covid I stopped as they were deterring visitors.

My old neighbour used to collect them for us from everyone on the street but I was struggling to get them when we moved house x
