Do dogs actually NEED diapers?

March 18, 2023|Dog diapers

Dogs don't come with diapers, so why do they need them? Diapers help contain the fluids that people don't like on the carpet or furniture so that your dog can still hang out with the family, even during that time.

Dogs can survive without diapers.  Animals in the wild have heat cycles all the time without ever wearing a diaper.

Great Fit dog diapers contain your dog's menstrual flow with a sticky backed pad inside the soft cotton flannel so they don't cause rubs like other synthetic fabrics or disposable diapers. Plus, they're reusable so you aren't adding to the landfill as much.

However, since dogs share our lives and homes, the mess from their heat cycle becomes more of a problem for us if we want to coexist.  A diaper can help contain the mess.

A dog who is in season or incontinent can create quite a mess in the house. Instead of crating them or leaving them outside, a dog diaper like this one can contain the mess while allowing your dog to hang with the family.

It can be difficult to find a diaper that will stay on your dog and drive them, and therefore you, crazy.  Great Fit diapers with their unique design make it much easier to keep the diaper on your dog.  You just put a sticky-backed pad inside to catch the fluid and you're all set.

Many dog diapers have a tail hole that you pull their tail through. If you've watched a dog when this happens, they really don't appreciate it. Great Fit dog diapers wrap at the waist with straps that attach on either side of the tail so there is no tail hole to pull tails through.

Because of the design, Great Fit diapers can fit the biggest Great Dane, the roundest English Bulldog, or the tiniest chihuahua with the proper measurements from you. And tails aren't needed, so Aussies or boxers can wear them too.

Great Fit dog diapers fasten in front of the hip bones, allowing the dog's natural anatomy to hold them in place while also freeing their movement. Plus, this unique design permits a wide range of adjustment to fit any dog and even puppies into adulthood.

If your dog is intact or incontinent, a dog diaper can allow them to stay inside instead of in the kennel or back yard. 

We love our dogs, but they can get pretty messy sometimes. Especially during their heat cycle or when they are incontinent. A diaper can allow your dog to still be part of the family without ruining your house or furniture.
