Reusable diapers for dogs
Posted: 06.12.2022 11:25

Recently, home toilets and diapers for dogs are gaining more and more popularity. A dog may have a need for a home toilet for various reasons - while the puppy is still small and cannot tolerate before walking, after an illness or surgery of the dog, or if walking is not possible due to old age or health condition. In addition, the owners of small dogs specially teach their pets to use diaper at home because of employment, the inability to get the dog out in time, or bad weather. In contrast with disposable counterparts, which are thrown away after use, reusable diapers perfectly withstand up to 100 washes in a mode with a temperature of 900C, without losing their absorbent properties. Reusable diapers consist of several layers: on top there is a special knitted fabric that quickly lets moisture and smell inside and allows the surface to always remain dry. Your pets will not scatter waste on their paws all over the house. It also does not cling to the sharp puppy claws. There is a special membrane inside, it absorbs a large amount of liquid and holds it securely. There is a waterproof layer below. It is impregnated with a special composition that provides dryness, hygiene and the absence of smell under the diaper. The indisputable advantage of reusable diapers is their ability to absorb a large amount of liquid, much more than disposable diapers. It helps on the road, when transporting a puppy or sick animal. The diapers are also more comfortable when urine leaks in older dogs, since the surface is always dry and there are no irritation and eczemas or soreness on the animal’s skin.


Another important aspect is security. Puppies love to gnaw everything, paper put into the toilet quickly turns into scraps scattered around the house, and disposable diapers cover the floor with a cotton-like filler when gnawed. If swallowed, it swells in the dog's stomach and can lead to blockage of the stomach and even death of the puppy. Reusable diapers are too tough for puppies, and the membrane tissue that fills them, even if it enters the stomach, will leave it successfully in a natural way. The main disadvantage of reusable diapers is their high cost, one diaper is not enough and you need a few pieces per shift. However, with regular use, and considering their large absorbency and aesthetic appearance, they pay for themselves. Another of the downsides, according to consumer reviews, is the strong smell of urine, which appears after the first wash. In fact, this happens in cheap Turkish or Chinese products; a better quality diapers designed for people are deprived of this disadvantage. Machine washing at a temperature of 60 - 90 ° C, quick drying on a dryer - and your diaper is ready to use again!
