How to Buy Dog Diapers

Measure the dog's waist. Dog diapers need to fit snuggly at the waist to ensure they will not slip off or allow urine to leak out the front.

Make sure the dog is standing. Ask a friend to help keep the dog in the proper position if necessary.

Wrap a cloth measuring tape around the dog's waist. Make sure to measure far enough towards a male dog's torso to cover the end of his penis. If you measure too close to the hindquarters, the diaper may not cover the urethral opening making the diaper useless.

Decide whether you want to use cloth or disposable dog diapers.

Consider cloth if you want an ecofriendly option and a greater number of design options. There are many different styles of cloth dog diapers including diapers with and without disposable or washable liners, diapers with adjustable hook and loop (velcro) closure straps, and diapers with suspenders or harnesses to keep the diaper in place on the dog. You will be able to wash most dog diapers many times.

Choose disposable diapers if your dog will only need to wear the diapers infrequently. Disposable dog diapers are more convenient for short term use and require less clean up. The waist bands on disposable dog diapers may not be as easily adjustable as those on cloth diapers. Continued use of dog diapers can cause broken or irritated skin. This number will vary from dog to dog.

Note how many times per day the dog typically urinates.

Start by purchasing 2 diapers if you choose a cloth style with removable liners. This gives you a spare diaper in the case of a messy accident. You can continue to purchase additional cloth diapers if 2 are inadequate for your dog's situation.

Buy a large enough package of disposable dog diapers so that you can use a new diaper every time the dog urinates. Some brands or styles may be particularly suited to specific breeds. Choose a style that corresponds best to your dog's weight and waist measurements. Disposable dog diapers generally have 6 sizes: xxsmall through xlarge. Especially when you use disposable dog diapers, you may find that the size that corresponds to your dog's measurements doesn't adequately cover the dog's genital area. Male dogs need the diaper to fit higher on their waists to prevent leakage.
