How to choose dog diapers correctly?
When selecting diapers for dogs, multiple important factors need to be considered to ensure the most comfortable and effective product is provided for the dog.
Appropriate size is key
Dogs come in various sizes, ranging from small Chihuahuas to large Golden Retrievers, with significant differences in body shape. So, when choosing diapers, the first thing to consider is the size. The general product description will have a detailed size chart to choose the appropriate size based on the dog's waist and hip circumference. Please note that the size should not be too tight, otherwise it will make the dog feel uncomfortable and even affect its normal activities and blood circulation; It cannot be too loose, otherwise it is easy to have side leakage. You can first measure the dog's waist circumference, usually at the thinnest part of the dog's abdomen, and then refer to the size chart for selection. For some dogs with special body shapes, such as those with longer bodies or thicker legs, it may also be necessary to consider whether the length of diapers and the size of leg openings are appropriate.
The material should be comfortable and safe
Surface Material: The surface of dog diapers should be soft and skin friendly. High quality non-woven fabric is a common choice. This material has a delicate touch and will not irritate the dog's skin, reducing discomfort caused by wearing diapers. For dogs with sensitive skin, such as small dogs or breeds with easily allergic skin, it is important to choose a gentle surface material.
Absorbent layer material: The absorbent layer is the core part of diapers. A good absorbent material should have strong absorption capacity, which can quickly absorb urine and lock in moisture to prevent urine leakage. Common highly absorbent polymer materials can effectively transform urine into gel shape, keeping the surface of diapers dry. Moreover, the breathability of the absorbent layer is also important. A breathable absorbent layer can allow the dog's skin to "breathe" and avoid skin problems such as rashes caused by stuffiness and humidity.
Bottom material: The bottom material mainly serves the purpose of waterproofing. Ensure that it has good waterproof performance to prevent urine from leaking outside. At the same time, for the convenience of dog activities, it is best to have a certain degree of flexibility and anti slip properties on the bottom layer to prevent the diaper from shifting when the dog is walking or running.
