Choosing a washable dog diaper

Female diaper, suspender diaper, belly band or bulldog cut — the right one depends on the dog's shape and why it needs one.

Female diapers

For heat cycles, incontinence and excitement urination. The skirt-hem version adds coverage; the classic three-pack is the most-reviewed Avont product.

Suspender diapers

For tailless dogs and diaper kickers: elastic straps over the back hold the diaper up.

Male belly bands

Wrap the waist to stop marking and catch leaks; also with suspenders.

Frenchie cut

A one-piece panty for French and English Bulldogs, Pugs and Boston Terriers.

Washing

Close the tabs, wash cold, dry low or air dry, no bleach or softener. Three diapers rotate comfortably through a week.
