Honey don't worry about Babee Tenda. I've raised all my babies in a Babee Tenda table and convertable crib. There is nothing stronger or sturdier or safer. We had a house full of pets and kids. Frankly I think the other kids were more of a threat than the pets. Yes I remember Babee Tenda table and crib being expensive back then but they both lasted for all my kids and now my grandbaby is using them so in the long run they were a real good buy. That stuff took one heck of a beating, use and abuse, and still kept working like I just bought it. The babee tenda table and crib are great. Congrats on the baby and don't worry about the dog.
