I thought those depends were like underwear, do they actually make depends pads.. and is it bulky for the yorkie to be wearing it?

I was thinking the ssame thing! Do they sell depends online?! I don't know if I can go to the store & buy them!!

Dena · 07-18-2005, 12:03 PM

LoL!!! i found them on pets mart.. they are called "male doggie wraps" LoL!!! how funny.

Yes, Depends does make a pad and they really aren't that bulky in the belly band. I always go the cheap route and buy the generic brands. I buy at Wal-mart, most cashiers don't know what they're checking out anyway. I understand the embarassment of buying them, funny story, I was out of pads and was in a hurry so I stopped at the grocery store in the town where i work. Bad move! Didn't even think about it, but when I got up to the cashier, it happened to be one of my students!! Talk about bright red!! Him and me!!! I explained what I used them for and he's like "sure you do". Still get red when I see him at school.

Umm...I don't want to embarrass you or anything...but um... today is the 18th! She might be backed up with stuff though. I know I am certainly not paying $25 for something my dog is going to pee on!

Dena · 07-18-2005, 12:25 PM

LoL, that doesn't embarrass me.. but i meant August 15.. she is closed from July 15-august 15.. that was just a typo on my part

Oh no! She is?! Shoot. Hmm. Well we need to find them somewhere else then - I'll let you know if I find them cheap anywhere else & you do the same!

Dena · 07-18-2005, 12:29 PM

Buy one belly band and you can start making your own..use a daytime sanitary pad..panty liners are too thin and overnight ones are too thick. At least 3 times a day take the pad off, cleanse them, the dog not the pad, with scented baby-wipes, powder them and let them air out for a while. Sound familiar?? Yep, if you have kids you are all to familiar with the routine..LOL
Seriously, it will get to be a routine and could help in training...You can make them for every occasion. My little boy, Jesse, had denim, red satin, red cords and flannel ones for every day..Way tooooo cute..

natalie · 07-18-2005, 04:56 PM

I never knew what belly bands were until now!!

Wow, it sounds like I NEED (not even WANT) to get them. Fred is starting to mark his territory. He's peed on his toy this morning!! But, it's only a few drops each time in every corner.

Does the pad insidee absorb their pee if they do pee? I just don't want him walking around smelling like his own pee!

Honestly they are super easy to make. ever sewn a pillow? You can sew a belly band. Its just a rectangle. Measure your dog down there and add a few inches so it can over lap. Make sure you use washable fabric. I like to use cotton on the outside and fleece on the inside because it is cushiony and absorbant if the pad isnt enough. And easy to wash.

Make the band about 3-4 inches longer than your doggy is round so you can sew velcro tape on them works as they grow or for other dogs..
