If you own a dog, then you already know just how sharp their nails can get at times. If your dog jumps onto the couch with sharp and long nails, it can cause tears in the fabrics that make up the cover. The same is true when it comes to the use of a sprinkler pad. You will find that a large number of these pads use extra thick materials in their construction. Even in this case, note that it will not provide complete resistance against thick and sharp nails. This is why it is important to ensure you clip your dog’s nails on a regular basis. This will help to reduce the risk of those sharp, long nails causing tears to develop on the surface of the sprinkler pad.
