Dog nappies?

[DaisyChainsForever]

Our puppy got her 1st period today. We knew it was coming as she's been 'off' for a few days. DP wants to get her some nappies so she's doesn't make a mess (we already have blood on a sofa cushion) I'm not sure she'll keep them on! Any practical advice greatly received. 🐶

They do stay on - we had incontinenence nappies for a very elderly but otherwise healthy dog. You buy little "knickers" that the pads fit into. Ours was a male dog, so I'm not quite sure how the knickers fit on bitches. You can't use the same ones for a dog and a bitch because of their anatomy.

He hated it with a passion, but was unable to remove it. If you haven't got a breeding quality bitch,I would get her spayed - safer and cleaner in the long run, but I think you are right to let her have a season first as it helps them to mature.

We're planning on getting her done after this season. Looks like we're going shopping for pants and pads then!

Just haw you want to be spending Christmas Eve!

Dog nappies sound like a good idea! We have a shitzu/bichon Cross who thinks it’s perfectly ok to crap in the house! Where do we get dog nappies? I’ve tried everything to stop the little x£&* doing it and partner blocks any attempt to crate him etc. He’s not mine bot OH and he adores him, personally after putting up with dog crap in house the last 3 years I’d happily rehome him as I am sick of cleaning up after him and actually feel depressed about situation

Tara that sounds awful. Not sure they would be a permanent solution as they are very expensive, £10 for 12. After we bought them a friend said we should of just bought toddler nappies and cut a tail hole in them for a fraction of the cost. Does the dog have a problem, or is it just lack of training in the beginning?

Oooh dog nappies and poo do not sit well! Our little lass had her first season unexpectedly whilst we were on holiday. We used the nappies fine to keep the blood off everything, but once she did a poo without letting us know (usually very good at hinting she needs a toilet trip) and let's just say it was not well contained. Poo squirts and dirty fur, not the best holiday memory! I felt terrible, she looked so very sad.

I think it’s been a lack training in the beginning, he was left on his own for long periods by OH (before I moved in) and so not told off for pooing in the house as he saw that as unreasonable. I’ve done everything I can to ge him in a good routine but damm dog still does it (came home to another pile today). I’ve kept my flat and avoid having him here as much as possible because of his filthy habit. My own dog is complete opposite and will even wake me at night if he needs to go. OH is just filthy! In the summer he crapped in living room while we were in the house with two sets of doors to garden wide open! The dog just doesn’t see it as a problem 😖. Sounds like nappies are not the answer either

OH dog not OH god s filthy 😊

You don't tell him off for pooing in the house, you praise him (LOTS and lots and lots) for going outside.

Tried that Bananarama nothing seems to hav3 any affect at all, I’ve read that his breed are notoriously hard to house train, I’m beginning to wonder if we are just doomed to put up with this
