Make Dog Diapers from Child Diapers

OK, so either your dog is going into heat or has incontinence. Either way you need diapers and fast! So you may or may not save much money doing this, but you may save yourself from frustration and driving around to 5 different places looking for dog diapers. Also, I've found that once I get home, I am severely disappointed in the quality of the dog diapers. They often have a plastic tape that holds them in place, and once it comes undone the diapers is useless. The toddler diapers on the other hand have a Velcro type adhesive that means you can take the diaper off to let your dog potty and then put it back on a few times throughout the day before it gets worn out.

I used Pampers Cruisers since they are designed for a toddler about town :) and I figured the stretchy fit would be more comfortable for my pup.

My dog weighs about 40 pounds or less and has a slim frame, so I went with a smaller size so it wasn't baggy and constantly needing to be pulled up.

Get out your diaper and and locate the back. (Pampers have the size printed on the back so its easy). Fold it in half, be careful not to cut through the front and the back. I made the top of my tail hole about 1/2 inch below the start of the padding (which is the crease in the pictures).

Cut a little more than 1/2 inch slits approximately 2 inches apart.

Finish cutting out the square for the whole. Remember it doesn't need to be perfect.

Throw these away so your dog doesn't try to eat them like mine did :P

Now you are ready to wiggle your pup into it. Good Luck!

FINAL RESULT!

I like to go ahead and cut a whole pack of diapers, so I can just pull one out and its ready to go. Plus, my boyfriend cut himself pretty good while trying to cut out the tail whole so I saved him the trouble. But its all up to you!! I hope you found this tutorial helpful!
