Belly Bands (again) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Biddy's Mom · 08-05-2005, 06:51 AM

Ok - I finally got Tucker some belly bands and I think they have saved his life!! However, I'm not sure how long is too long to keep them on him. We've been leaving on them while we're at work (about 8 1/2 -9 hours) and then we let him breathe until bed time (although he has used the breathing time as free to pee time). So my question is - if I leave these on him too long can they be harmful? I don't want it to irritate his skin or anything. Thanks!!

I bought really soft non irritating ones and i don't think they can hurt them if you change the pads when they are soiled. We wear clothes almost all day everyday and we are fine. I think it is the same for dogs if the "clothes" are of comfortable fabrics and are clean.

I don't believe so I think the worst that can happen is he will pee on himself....and it will be incomfortable and wet on him

Thanks guys. I have been changing the pads often & the fabric doesn't seem to irritate him - infact he doesn't even fight with me when it's time to put them on which really surprised me!! I was just afraid I was doing something wrong - I'm such a nervous mommy!

I bought one for Maximus from Rena at barkindogclothes...for when we went to my bf's mom's house...but we never used it....but he lets me put clothes on him so I would assume the same thing??

Biddy's Mom · 08-05-2005, 07:21 AM

I got mine from Rena too! I bought camoflage because I thought it would make him feel macho even though he was wearing a diaper!! (I think way too mcu about these things!!)

He can be kind of tough when I put clothes on him - but I think that's because he doesn't like things going over his head. He doesn't mind the belly bands at all!

ok,now I really need to ask,what are belly bands for?

Biddy's Mom · 08-05-2005, 09:59 AM

They wrap around the boys belly and cover up his winkie so they don't pee all over the house. My Tucker was marking all over the house & something had to be done!!! They are a lifesaver (Tucker's life that is!!)

they keep the dog from peeing in the house. they have velcro or what ever and you put the around the 'private are' they have pads in them and whenever they pee they're only wetting themselves. they don't like the way it feels, sometimes it helps with training sometimes, it just keeps your things safe, lol.
