| Measuring/SIZING Guide |
| MEASURING TIP: If you don't have a tape string use any string, rope or belt then measure on a yard stick. Get a snug measurement. If the diapers are too lose they will fall off. Waist is the measurement completely around the area in front of the back legs . NOTE: Both dog & cat models to the left weigh around 5 pounds yet look at the size discrepencies. This clearly illustrates the importance of MEASURING verses guessing sizes. It's a little extra work but it pays off and saves the cost of size exchanges in most cases. |

Customers often ask how long does it take for pets to adjust to wearing diapers and there is not one answer to that question. All pets are individuals. Some adjust right away while others take longer to learn the art of tolerating garments. Once you have acquired the appropriate garment for your pet I hope these few tips will assist you both in completing the remainder of the process in an uncomplicated and pleasant manner.. Most importantly, please be patient when first trying the diaper garments and introducing them to your pets. Be sure not to scare them or indicate them a punishment. Read our diapering instructions ahead of time so you will know in advance what and how to do it. Allow your pet enough time to see, sniff and smell the garment prior to diapering them. Talk to them in a calm, soothing voice. Remain calm or else your pet will sense your nervousness and frustration and they too will become nervous and frustrated. If your pet escapes from the garment and sizing is correct; simply put it back on again. Kindly inform them it is necessary to wear this garment if everyone is to live happily together in the same household. Be sure to reward your pet verbally and physically; complementing them for wearing the garments sucessfully. Pets that were previously isolated or caged before being introduced to diaper garments soon learn to associate their freedom with the diaper garment. Wearing a garment will eventually become a normal part of life and this is what you want your pet to realize. |
