Penis bone??? Ruger tends to have accidents, so sometimes I will use a "tinkle belt" on him. Seems to work and after a few minutes it doesn't seem to bother him. Anyway, my girlfriend told her vet about this and the vet said she doesn't recomend these belts. Claimed there's a bone in the dog's penis that can be forced out of alignment and harm the dog if you use these belts. First, I've never heard of such a thing and I'm wondering about this vet's credentials. Second, the belt is very soft and isn't really tight enough to do him any harm, at least IMHO. Has anybody heard of such a thing, especially the part about the penis bone? |
Yes there is a home. Not sure what a tinkle belt is. If its a belly band then it is fine to use as long as it is properly fitting. |
Sorry meant bone. |

I'll be damned. I just did a Google search and most mammals do have a bone there. A baculum? You learn something new everyday. :D |
Yes, dogs have a penis bone (os penis). Yes, it can break. No, belly bands should not misalign a bone. My boy always wears one bc he has a bladder defect. |
What is a belly band? My boy is 5 months old... Accidents everywhere |
Buc23 - a belly band is like a diaper for male dogs - only it goes around their "waist" and not their behind. Some people who have intact male dogs use them as intact males tend to "mark" their territory. |

Like others have said... yes, a dog's penis has a bone and no, a belly band won't misalign the bone unless you tie it very tightly. This isn't a good idea for many reasons, so just make sure that belly band is comfortable for the dog and you should be fine :) |
I have a couple of them but have Never had to use them. I always forget I have them... What do most people do? Do you place a feminine napkin in them and change it out if they go in it?? If you do this then when if comes to ordering is it best to order a little bit big so a napkin will fit? |
