I bought the pups a play mat off Amazon and it is soft and the pups and adults love it. In that bulb you are supposed to put treats in it (pups are too young but I did try it with the adults and they loved it)
The textures are great and they do bat the treat holder and you can hide the treats in the fabric. It is a hit. You never know off Amazon.
The pups have been out 3 times so far. No crying to come out but they do enjoy the experience.
