Helpful information

Heat cycles in female dogs usually last between 2 to 3 weeks with symptoms including a swollen vulva, bloody vaginal discharge, and more frequent urination. After their first heat cycle, dogs come into heat an average of twice a year, or about every 6 months.

Belly bands wrap around the male dog's belly and prevent him from urinating on objects. If the male dog is wearing the belly band and he marks, the belly band will function like a diaper and hold the urine. Male dogs don't like being wet and they will normally stop marking once they learn that marking makes them wet and uncomfortable.

 Yes as your dog gets older they may start losing control over their bladder and bowels, but that can be managed with the right dog diapers, belly bands and pads. Your older dog can still lead a happy, healthy, high quality life.

Diapers or Belly Bands should be changed at least every 2-3 hours. It's best if you replace the diaper or pad as soon as it is soiled. Allowing urine or feces to sit against your dog's skin can lead to your dog very uncomfortable and possible infections.
