The second and better versions are cloth types that are designed with a soft absorbent liner and some type of membrane to slow seepage to the surface (all the cloth versions we carry have these features) These are best for dogs with heavy flows especially larger breeds and are ideal for urination problems. By adding the lady's panty liners to these they become nearly impenetrable walls between your dog and the house. Not all cloth diapers of course are the same. You want to choose those with cupped designs and elastic borders to assure a better and comfortable fit and to contain the fluid while it absorbs. They are available to fit dogs from one pound to 95 pounds. The waist size measured all the way around determines fit and a chart is available Dog sizing chart to compare your dogs needs. If you have a male You will want to get him the Male belly bands to better deal with his needs.

Puppies can also benifit from the diaper garments while being house trained to cut down on the number of accidents. They need to be walked after waking, eating, when playing and before going to bed. In our busy world unfortunately we do not always have time to get them outside. But I will save the puppy training for another manual and confine to the diapers here. There are also disposable diapers available if you don't want the hassle of laundering the cloth ones and our store training section offers all the types of diapers discussed above at affordable prices. (we ship globally) I suggest that if you are going to use them every day as we do that you get at least 3 in dealing with incontinence problems so that a fresh one is always on hand. And finally on the subject of the lady's pads try to select one close to the length of the pocket area, baby's smaller diaper requires one that is a little longer then the diaper is and we sometimes fold it and often let it just hang out. It really doesn't matter except for appearance sake. The most important thing to remember here is that dog diapers can extend the enjoyable years with your pet without the helpless frustration that can accompany incontinence. |
