Dog diapers can also be soft protection for your pets’ stomachs and hips if your senior dog prefers to lay on the floor.

Not every senior dog will need dog diapers. In fact, both my senior dogs were still able to go outside when the need arose.

However, my Aussie mix Skylar preferred to lay flat on the cold floor because she felt more balanced and liked it by the door. In her latter years, Skylar needed more padding for her joints so I set out to see what I could do to still give her comfortable flexibility.

Of course, the floor was harder than her magnetic bed but she liked the cold floor, especially on rainy days when we lived in Washington. But, I noticed her stomach and her hip bones would be red and I felt there could be a more comfortable solution. I found that Washable Dog Diapers were perfect for her. Also, note that both Coco and Skylar were female, so I bought “female” diapers. There are available in all sizes and genders for your pets.

These are velcro-fastened and very easy to get on and off your dog. This particular brand of Washable Dog Diapers is made very well and I just bought one 3-pack that lasted for me months.

These links are affiliated which means I do get a small commission on the products I’ve suggested above to help keep this site alive. What is fantastic is that you will get these products at no extra cost. I personally have used these products and had the pleasure of having two healthy, senior dogs for 18 years. It’s taken some time to share this value with you because I miss them so much.
