When and Why to Use Dog Diapers

Dog diapers serve three main purposes:

• In Heat: Contain bleeding and prevent your dog from constantly licking the area. Note that diapers cannot prevent mating.
• Incontinence: Help senior dogs or those with medical conditions maintain bladder control and dignity.
• Excitable Peeing: Catch involuntary drips in younger dogs who haven't fully developed bladder control yet.
• Puppy Training: A great tool for new puppies as they learn bladder control, helping protect your home during the training process.

Choosing the Right Diaper

Disposable vs. Washable

Disposable diapers are highly absorbent and great for travel or occasional use. Our washable cloth diapers at Jack & Jill are the eco-friendly choice for daily, long-term wear and are gentler on your dog's skin over time. Browse our Female Dog Diapers collection to find the perfect style.

Getting the Right Size

Sizing matters more than most people realize. Measure your dog's waist circumference and weight to find the perfect fit. For female dogs, look for a diaper with a specialized tail hole for a comfortable, secure fit. View our full Sizing Chart for detailed measurements.

Pro Tip: Extra Protection

Many dog owners place an adhesive feminine hygiene pad inside the diaper as a liner. This lets you swap out the insert quickly without changing the entire diaper — a simple trick that saves time and extends the life of your washable diaper.

Prefer a reusable option? We also sell washable pads — a great eco-friendly alternative to disposable liners that you can use again and again.
