Applesauce had a couple that she loved. I think Chillz pad was the one. I got a couple for Kiwi and despite the claims of indestructible, she chewed a hole on each and I had gel all over! So no cool pad for puppy!
Ooh thanks Nancy, I’ll have to look into Chillz. Sorry Kiwi thought it was a chew toy! Eeeeek!
