Selecting The Right Small Dog Diapers

By Gregory Kelly


A puppy should have a diaper during house training. Dogs recuperating from an illness or operation and cannot go out to urinate also need them. Pack enough toiletries for your pets when going on vacation especially if you will be staying in a hotel. Younger dogs suffering from urinary incontinence should also put them on to avoid messing around. When older dogs particularly the females are on heat, they must wear a diaper to avoid staining the floor and carpets with blood. You can get disposable or reusable cloth ones. Read here on how to choose small dog diapers.

Start by identifying the needs of your pet. In case of a medical condition, think of seeing a veterinarian. The professional will confirm a diagnosis. They will determine the cause of the problem and come up with solution. Urinary incontinence might be due to degeneration or spinal injury, protruding intervertebral discs, urinary tract infections, prostate disorders, or some congenital abnormalities.

Weigh the animals. Taking the weight of the dogs can either be at home or the treatment centers. The veterinarians have the right tools for this task. At home, you can take your weight. Carry the puppy and take your weights when carrying it. Do the substitution and get the exact weight of the canine. Use a walk-on scale for the same.

Decide between disposable and cloth pieces. Those made of cloths are eco-friendly as you can clean and reuse. Most owners find it disgusting to clean the clothes and end up with the disposable ones. Younger dogs must wear their diapers consistently for long. This is cheaper than disposable pieces in the end. Disposable pieces are easy and convenient to use.

Different animals will use a different number of diapers per day. Find out the number of times that your animal requires a change. During the hot days, you can leave them to stay without one. Use this chance to tailor train them. You have to be patient as this might take different period deepening on the understanding capacity of an animal.

It is important that you realize the correct size for your animals. Male pants must be larger than those of their female counter partners. Many owners make a mistake of picking the same pieces for all their puppies. Observe whether the pet is comfortable. When changing them, check how their genitals look and verify that they have a room for hanging even when on a diaper.

Be sure that the linings are soft. Continued usage of a diaper can cause irritated and broken skin. Pick those with soft and absorbent linings. They will help your dogs from having diaper rash. Treat diaper discomforts and rash immediately you see them. Continuous diaper changing is an excellent way of preventing such conditions.

Wipe irritated skin using unscented baby wipes. Hypoallergic baby powder will also dry the area. Get the animal checked in case the condition is serious. Use the right brands to avoid such scenarios. Discontinue any diaper type that reacts with your animal skin.
