Why My Senior Dog Wears Diapers

broken image

Ever wonder why dogs wear doggy diapers? Sure, there are some dogs that wear doggy diapers simply because they haven’t been potty trained. Puppies for instance may wear diapers during the day when owners are at work. Female dogs may wear diapers when they are in heat to prevent a mess. Senior dogs, however, wear diapers because they have a tendency to have to pee a lot and they don’t seem to be able to hold it as long as younger dogs. Having a senior in diapers is actually a great idea because it saves on ruining your carpet and flooring. It also makes your dog more comfortable as he now doesn’t have to hide or worry about urinating. He simply goes when he wants. Washable diapers are great. Disposable diapers are also available.
