Today, puppy nappies are quite popular products, although they have appeared relatively recently. Of course, the diaper itself usually confuses puppies, since at an early age they are not yet familiar with this accessory. Many dog ​​owners have not come across animal diapers, so they often feel that buying this product is a waste of money. It is worth figuring out why a diaper is purchased, what are the pros and cons of this product, how to choose the right products of excellent quality, and how to train a puppy to go to the toilet on a diaper.

Features and composition

Today, a wide range of dog nappies is on sale, which have basically one purpose - they are used for puppies to quickly and easily train to the toilet. Although the diaper Ideal during a pet's illness, if the doctor forbids taking it outside. Such nappies allow you to equip a place for childbirth, as well as a cozy and warm postpartum place, where the dog can sit with the puppies.

Many manufacturers now offer a quality product. Modern diapers are presented in a wide range of models. They differ in size and degree of softness. Usually they cover the tray or place them in the right places right on the floor. Very often, such diapers are used to equip portable devices. They can be placed on a car seat if you plan to transport a dog.

In general, all puppy diapers can be divided into disposable and reusable. A disposable diaper has a lot in common with a toddler diaper when it comes to texture.The outer layer is usually made of a semi-synthetic material that is excellent moisture permeability and is characterized by softness. But the bottom layer must necessarily be waterproof, this is the only way it can guarantee the fulfillment of the main task of diapers for puppies.

The diaper also includes a filler that is located between the outer and inner layers. Quite often, cellulose, gel or polymer granules act as a filler.

Important! Diapers, which include five layers, are in high demand, because with their help, the distribution of liquid occurs evenly, since it turns into a gel.

But reusable diapers can be compared to a multi-layered "cake". The composition of such nappies does not include gel. In this case, the diaper structure looks like this:

  • outer layer - jersey is usually used, which dries quite quickly, while manufacturers also take care of the design, offering bright and stylish colors;
  • base layer - membrane, which is 80% polyester, perfectly absorbing liquids;
  • next layer - intermediate, which is necessarily waterproof;
  • last layer characterized by anti-slip properties, therefore, knitted material is often used.

Puppy diapers have both advantages and disadvantages. If we consider the advantages of such products, it is worth noting the following:

  • harmlessness - the products are absolutely safe in terms of operation;
  • reliability - the nappies have anti-slip properties;
  • the smell of feces is perfectly retained and does not disperse around the apartment;
  • no mold or mildew appears on such diapers;

      If we consider the rating of the best companies of Western European and American production, then it is worth highlighting the brand Ezwhelp, Simple Solutions and Four Paws... On average, the price of their products is at least $ 7. And, of course, do not forget about Chinese manufacturers, since they usually occupy most of the modern market.

      On many sites, you can find products from Japanese companies. Many users leave comments regarding diapers from the brand PWW. The products have already established themselves as good and reliable. Buyers use diapers not only for puppies, but also for adult dogs.

      Important! You should buy products in specialized stores, the lowest quality products are usually presented on the “black” markets.

      Criterias of choice

      Today it is not a problem to purchase diapers for both puppies and adult dogs. They are sold in online stores, pet stores and even markets. The price range is quite large, so every dog ​​owner will be able to choose the best option depending on their financial capabilities. The price of diapers depends on the manufacturer, product materials and dimensions.

      Regarding the size of the products, it is worth noting that this criterion depends on the breed of the dog. Diapers can be 40x60, 60x60 or 60x90 cm in size. Some manufacturers offer large packs that include 150 pieces, but you can also find small ones, only 10 pieces.

        The cost of a diaper for a dog mainly depends on the size of the product and additional functions, for example, the presence of antibacterial impregnation, adhesive tape for secure fastening of the product, the presence of a moisture indicator, and so on. If we consider the structure of the diaper, then it is the same for everyone. But the difference lies in quality. Products from Western European countries have the best quality, second place belongs to companies from America, followed by products from Russian manufacturers. But Chinese brands today offer goods not only the cheapest, but also of the lowest quality.

        How to train a puppy?

        When a puppy appears in an apartment or house, each owner first of all thinks about how to teach him to go to the toilet. Usually, a dog begins to understand a person consciously after about one year. But puppies are usually sold at the age of 3-4 months. Therefore, the baby usually does not control the process of urination.

        To quickly train your pet to the toilet, you should use a puppy diaper. They will help the dog get used to the toilet, as well as reliably protect laminate and wood floors from the effects of natural waste. Many manufacturers use a special impregnation that acts on the dog in such a way that it begins to walk exclusively on a diaper, while the action takes place on a subconscious level.

        First you need to convey to the puppy what exactly is required of him. It is worth using not only praise, but also goodies. It is forbidden to punish a dog, because it should not be afraid, otherwise it will never learn to go to diapers. Please note that the age of the pet plays an important role in this matter, since the smaller the dog, the more often it relieves itself. Puppies go to the toilet after sleeping, playing, eating, and so on.

        So, the process of getting used to the diaper can be started after waking up. It is necessary to take the puppy in the morning and carry it to the diaper.The owner should be close to prevent the puppy from leaving the area prematurely. When the puppy copes with the task, you need to praise and treat him, while you need to keep yourself in hand and not go to extremes. After several such "exercises" the dog will still relieve itself in any place. You need to be patient. Just a few days - and your pet will go to the toilet exclusively on a diaper.

        Important! When the puppy already knows where his "toilet" is, it is worth weaning him from receiving treats after each visit. It is worth starting to give treats every other time and gradually do it less and less.

        Experts recommend adhering to the following rules in order to quickly and effectively accustom a puppy to a diaper:

        • teaching should be done by someone from the family;
        • no need to hope that in 1-2 times the dog will understand everything;
        • it is worth spending as much time as possible with your pet so that the training process is easy and fast;
        • it is strictly forbidden to shout at the dog or hit;
        • if you find a "puddle" after, do not scold the animal, because it will not understand its "crime".

          There are times when the dog stopped walking on it a few days after getting used to the diaper. It is not necessary to immediately punish the puppy, as this behavior may indicate the following reasons:

          • usually during puberty, the dog begins to mark territory; a way out of the situation is to increase the number and time of walks;
          • the reason for refusing to use the diaper can be some kind of disease, so you should definitely show the dog to the veterinarian;
          • some owners simply cannot correctly convey the information to the dog, in this case, you should use the help of a professional - hire an experienced instructor.

          Reviews

              Today, puppy nappies are in demand. Many dog ​​owners are familiar with such a product personally. On the Internet, you can find quite a lot of positive reviews about disposable and reusable diapers. Of course, there is a difference between these types of products, but everyone chooses the option that suits him. Many dog ​​owners say that diapers have made their life much easier. The dog began to go to the toilet in a certain place. The habituation process takes place pretty quickly.

              If we talk about the quality of nappies for puppies, then most recommend buying products from European countries and refrain from buying Chinese goods. Products from China are of rather poor quality. They are liquid permeable, odorless, and so on.

              It is not worth buying diapers at a low price, since a quality product cannot be cheap.
