The best male dog diapers to aid with your pet’s accidents

By

You’re frustrated from finding pee marking all over your home as your stubborn male dog urinates on couches, carpet, and more. Luckily, a dog diaper for male use is an easy switch to prevent territory marking, excited urination, and even incontinence. We’ve reviewed numerous diaper brands and analyzed what makes an effective, absorbent, and easy-to-use diaper. Here are our findings to help you choose.

Reusable male dog diapers aren’t like the typical pull-ups you see on toddlers or female dogs, which are usuallybelly bands that wrap around your dog’s midsection and private parts, fastened by Velcro patches. Disposable male dog diapers, however, are usually fastened with materials more akin to adult diapers. Washable male dog diapers save you money in the long run and are more eco-friendly, but if your dog just needs a handful of diapers during a surgery recovery period, disposable products might be best. Let’s look over our picks and see which works for you.

AmazonBasics Male Dog Wrap

Best Value Pack

AmazonBasics Male Dog Wrap come in a 30-pack available in extra-small, small, medium, or large sizes. For reference, the medium size wraps around dogs with waist sizes from 18 to 23.5 inches. The yellow strip on the diaper turns blue when wet, indicating your pup needs a fresh wrap. Hair-resistant fasteners prevent slipping on active dogs.

Pet Parents Male Dog Diapers

Best Washable

The Pet Parents three-piece pack is available in three different color sets, including all black; blue, black, and green; and white, black, and brown. Each set is also available in extra-small, small, medium large, or extra-large. Pet Parents’ WickQuick lining absorbs moisture readily to prevent rashes, while a leak-proof exterior shell keeps liquids in.

All-Absorb Male Dog Wrap

Best for Comfort

This disposable pack of 50 diapers from All-Absorb wins in the most comfortable design on our list. An airy outer layer eliminates sweat and discomfort, while 360 leak-proof barriers provide extra protection against spills. If the diaper doesn’t hold on the first try, the re-adjustable fasteners allow you to perfect the fit until it’s comfortably snug.

Male dog diapers or belly wraps are convenient for discouraging indoor marking and preventing messes from dogs with urinary incontinence or excitable peeing. Keep furniture, floors, and personal items safe from strong pee odors and stains with a pack of washable or disposable diapers. Whichever style you choose, you’ll be glad you discovered this handy invention.

Why do dogs howl at sirens? This exhausting behavior, explained
Plus, how to correct this behavior with positive reinforcement
Small dog howls at the sky while outside in the dirt

While your beloved pup's ancient ancestors may have howled at the moon, there's nothing more annoying than being jerked awake by your dog barking at a siren. As much as you might immediately jump in and try to correct the behavior, remember that this response is rooted deep within a canine's DNA. They might not fully be able to help it, though positive reinforcement training can temper these responses. So why do dogs howl at sirens? We'll dive into this phenomenon.
The history of the howl

Wolves may have been howling for millennia and have lived in North America for at least 15,000 years. When dogs evolved about 30,000 years ago, by some estimates, they took the howl with them. This practice almost certainly began as a way to communicate with others of the pack over long distances and occasionally to scare away predators or even other wolves.

How to get your dog to stop hiccuping
You can help your dog get over hiccups

Most of us have suffered from a bout of the hiccups at least once, and while hiccuping can be annoying, it's very rarely harmful. However, in some cases, hiccups can be a symptom of an underlying medical problem, such as pneumonia or pancreatitis. In very rare cases, hepatitis or liver cancer may cause hiccups.

This sounds scary, but does that mean you should be worried if your dog has hiccups? More often than not, your dog's hiccups will resolve within a few hours, but if your pooch has difficulty eating, drinking, or sleeping because of his hiccups, it's a good idea to take him to the vet. Here's what you'll want to know about canine hiccups.

Does your dog like to lean on you? Here’s why
The sweet reason your dog likes to lean on you (and when to be concerned)

Our attitude toward dogs has shifted significantly in modern times, with humans considering their pets more like family members that they love just as much (or more) than their two-legged relatives. However, we have long been partners with canines, which have helped us hunt for food and protected us with our lives. This long-running partnership comes even though we don't speak the same language.

Therefore, you may wonder what is going on in your dog's head when they display certain behaviors. For instance, you may ask, "Why does my dog lean on me?" The answer is generally straightforward and sweet. However, a dog leaning on you may be a cause for concern, too.
