Diaper for puppies: types and selection criteria

Diapers for puppies today are quite popular products, although they appeared relatively recently. Of course, the diaper itself usually puzzles puppies, because at an early age they are still unfamiliar with this accessory. Many dog ​​owners have not encountered diapers for animals, so they often consider that buying this product is a waste of money. It is worth figuring out what diapers are purchased for, what are the pros and cons of this product, how to choose products of the highest quality, and how to teach your puppy to go to the toilet for diapers.

Today there is a wide range of diapers for dogs, which have basically one purpose - they are used for puppies in order to quickly and easily get used to the toilet. Although diaper ideal during the illness of the pet, if the doctor forbids to display it on the street. These diapers allow you to equip a place for childbirth, as well as a cozy and warm postpartum place where the dog can sit with puppies.

Now many manufacturers offer a quality product. Modern diapers are represented by a wide model range. They differ in size and degree of softness. Usually they are covered with a tray or placed in the right places right on the floor. Very often such diapers are used for the equipment of portable devices. They can lay on the car seat, if the plans to transport a dog.

In general, all diapers for puppies can be divided into single and reusable. The diaper for single use has much in common with the diaper for the baby, if we consider the texture. The outer layer is usually made of a semi-synthetic material that is moisture-permeable and is characterized by softness. But the bottom layer must be waterproof, the only way it can guarantee the fulfillment of the main task of the diapers for puppies.

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

But reusable diapers can be compared with a multi-layer "cake". The composition of such diaper does not include gel. In this case, the structure of the diaper is as follows:

• outer layer - usually used knitwear, which dries pretty quickly, while manufacturers care about design, offering bright and stylish colors;
• base layer - membrane, which is 80% represented by polyester, perfectly absorbing liquid;
• next layer is intermediate, which is necessarily waterproof;
• last layer characterized by anti-slip properties, so often used knitted material.

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

• harmlessness - the product is absolutely safe in terms of operation;
• reliability - diapers have anti-slip properties;
• the smell of excrements perfectly kept and does not disperse in the apartment;
• there is no mold or fungus on such diapers;
• the diaper of reusable action can hold up to three liters of liquid, and even with such fullness the legs of the doggie will remain dry;
• the diaper cannot be gnawed by the teeth, the claws of the animal do not touch it;
• the product has an attractive appearance, so it blends harmoniously into the overall atmosphere;
• washing for reusable models is allowed, and they very quickly become dry.

If we talk about the disadvantages, it is worth noting the following:

• products from Turkish and Chinese manufacturers quite often after the first wash produce a sharp and unpleasant smell, and traces of stains appear on the diaper;
• reusable diapers are more expensive than disposable, while they can not be purchased in a single copy, you must buy the whole package.

Modern manufacturers offer products for toilet arrangement for puppies for every taste. A variety of assortment allows each buyer to choose the best option for themselves and their pet. As already mentioned, all puppy rugs can be divided into two large groups.

• Disposable. This product is used once. Usually such models can be gel or coal. Rugs with gel filler are characterized by excellent absorbency, while the legs of the animal do not get wet. This option is suitable in different cases, for example, it is necessary to take a pet to the veterinary clinic, or the weather is very bad outside, and it is better to refuse to walk. It is strictly forbidden to use disposable models again.
• Reusable. This group of products is already represented by a wide range. Quite often they are used as schooling. Absorbent diaper is characterized by durability and reliability, and is also designed for frequent use. For washing reusable models it is necessary to use special means that produce disinfection, while the product can be washed both in the washing machine and manually. This option can be used for a tray, an open-air cage or place them under sick animals.

On the modern market are diapers for puppies from different manufacturers. Among the domestic companies that produce dog diapers, it is worth noting "Peligrin" and "Talismed", with a large assortment allows you to choose the best option. The price of products varies from 500 to 3000 rubles.

If we consider the rating of the best companies of Western European and American production, 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 the Chinese manufacturers, because 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. Products have already established themselves as good and reliable. Buyers use diapers not only for puppies, but also for adult dogs.

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

Regarding the size of products worth noting that this criterion depends on the breed of dog.Diapers can be 40x60, 60x60 or 60x90 cm. Some manufacturers offer large packs that include 150 pieces, but you can also find small ones, out of 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 attachment 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 all. But the difference is in quality. The best quality products from Western European countries, the 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 lower quality.

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 consciously the dog begins to understand the person 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 teach your pet to the toilet, you should use diapers for puppies. They will help the dog to get used to the toilet, as well as reliably protect the floors of laminate and wood from the effects of natural waste. Many manufacturers apply a special impregnation, which acts on the dog in such a way that it begins to walk exclusively on the 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 necessary to apply not only praise, but also delicacies. It is forbidden to punish the dog, because it should not be afraid, otherwise it will never learn to walk in diapers. Please note that the pet's age plays an important role in this matter, since the smaller the doggie, the more often it satisfies the need. 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 in the morning to take a puppy and carry it to the diaper. The owner should be close to prevent the puppy from leaving this place 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 a few such "exercises" the dog will still defend the need in any place. You must have patience. Just a few days - and your pet will go to the toilet exclusively on the diaper.

Experts recommend sticking to the following rules in order to quickly and effectively teach a puppy to a diaper:

• learning should be done by someone from the family;
• no need to hope that for 1-2 times the dog will understand everything;
• It is worth spending the maximum time with your pet, so that the process of schooling is easy and fast;
• it is strictly forbidden to shout at the dog or to beat;
• If you find a “puddle” after, you should not scold the animal, because it will not understand its “crime”.

There are cases when a dog a few days after accustoming to the diaper stopped walking on it. You do not need to immediately punish the puppy, because this behavior may indicate the following reasons:

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

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

If we talk about the quality of diapers for puppies, the majority recommends buying products from Europe and refraining from buying Chinese goods. Products from China are of rather poor quality. They let the liquid through, do not hold the smell, and so on.
