Male Dog Wraps

Why Choose Dog Diapers or Wraps?

Male dog wraps or diapers are typically associated with cloth-like baby diapers. They are washable and reusable. Dog wraps are typically disposable male dog diapers. Sometimes it is necessary for a dog who likes to mark his territory, incontinence, or behavior issues. Luckily, there is a lot to choose from when it comes to the type of disposable or reusable dog diaper options close at hand. All of them work to contain messes although some are easier than others. Let\’s take a closer look as there are also health risks to consider also.

Benefits Of Using Male Dog Wraps

Incontinence by reason of an older dog who may lose control of his bladder due to illness, excitability, or deciding to mark his territory. Sometimes this is an occasional accident and other times, it is a nightmare to keep up with, let alone the smell it leaves in your home.

Illness – Male dogs can get urinary tract infections also. It is best to consult a vet to see if there is an underlying factor in your dog\’s potty issue that he may not be able to control. Maybe due to an accident or other medical issue, whether it is temporary or long-term, this is a great reason to consider a male dog wrap or diaper. This will protect your carpet and furniture and give you a break from constant scolding and getting frustrated which then creates emotional issues with your dog.

Behavior Problems – Marking can be a factor when finding wet pee puddles on the floor. This can be very frustrating to both you and your pet. Belly bands are also what is referred to as a male dog diaper.

Types Of Dog Diapers

Since there are many options to choose from, here is some of the more prominent type of male dog diapers:

• Disposable Male Dog Wrap- the kind you simply throw away when soiled.
• Reusable Or Washable Male Dog Wraps

Pet parents usually go for the simplest solution which is the disposable kind of diaper/wrap. This is due to how easy cleanup is. These are pretty absorbent and leakproof. Using cotton is very kind to the skin and any irritations synthetic materials may cause.

Cloth diapers for male dogs are thrifty as well and environmentally friendly. You may have to change them frequently as called for because dirty or wet diapers can cause UTIs (urinary tract infections). Cloth diapers may leak and are easy for the dog to climb out of. You will need to find a happy medium when it comes to the comfort of your dog and the way the diaper or wrap fits to do its job effectively.

A note of caution – you must keep the wrap clean that is near the male anatomy. Do not let it become soaked that forces the dog to get rashes or other skin irritations or UTI due to inadequate monitoring of the diaper/wrap.

How To Put The Diaper On Your Dog

The dog wrap simply goes around the waist of the dog. The wrap needs to cover the male anatomy comfortably, not smashing it into the belly. It needs to be able to function properly and allow to urinate. Typically there is velcro or some type of closure to keep it in place.

Our Views On Belly Bands Or Homemade Diapers

We have used them in the past. Whether we purchased them or made our own, these are still not as comfortable to the dog as the disposable ones we feel. You also need to remember the season of the year when it comes to male wraps/diapers/bands. Some are simply bulky and very hot to wear, some are not very flexible when it comes to making sure everything is in its place and leaks, sometimes the dog can rotate the band making it worthless.
