| Belly Bands I have a new puppy, a 12 week old male chihuahua. I purchased a few belly bands, although it seems like he wiggles out of them. What's the trick to keeping them on?

| about belly bands I aam just curious, what are those belly bands for? When we were looking for our Yorkie, we went to a house that had belly bands on the males, I asked the breeder why are those bands on them?, she said because she has a female in heet, my daughter said they use them on the males so they don't pee everywhere, could someone fill me in. |

| Yes Belly bands can be used when a female is in heat.......with our Smokey they are used for both.......he wears them 24/7...........he is mommy's widdle leg cocker...........hicks his leg on everything..................so he wears them all the time........as for the OP........with chi's you have a different shape in that area.......so you will probably have to have the kind with elastic so it doesnt gap........also make sure they are pretty tight............good luck

| I gave up on the belly bands. Call me crazy but I used an ace bandage. I cut a pad in thirds and put the pad about 6 inches away from the end then wrapped it around him and used the metal clips that come with the bandage to hold it on him. It has worked really well.

What if you cut the ace bandage the girth of your puppy, then sew it to make a circle. Slip it under the puppy's feet and around the girth, put in the absorbant pad, then put the BBand over it so you'd have a design. I was just trying to think of a way not to use the clips. Mine might try to eat those. Maybe I could make a plain black one for the ace bandage. Then get a black/white bow tie for his neck and it would look like a mini tux. Just a cumberband and a bow tie. That would be cute. Thanks for posting blueangel32
