Measure a Dog For a Special Order Dog Diaper

Please refer to Anatomy picture:

• Measure the circumference of your dog’s waist right in front of hip bones (rump)
• Measure distance from waist, point ‘A’, around waist back to point ‘A’.
• Measure distance from waist ‘A’ to base of tail ‘B’
• Measure distance from top of waist ‘A’ under tail to belly side of waistband ‘C’ to get total length (follow red lines).
• Make sure the dog is standing. Ask a friend to help keep the dog in the proper position if necessary.
• Wrap a cloth measuring tape around the dog’s waist which is located just in front of hindquarter. If you measure too close to the hindquarters on the male, the diaper may not cover the urethral opening making the diaper useless. We suggest you purchase 2 diapers to start: this gives you a spare diaper in the case of a messy accident

Weigh Your Dog

• Accurate weight measurements are necessary to determine the correct dog diaper size.
• Take large dogs to the veterinarian to get weight measurements. Most veterinary offices will have a walk-on scale designed for animals.
• Weigh smaller dogs at home. Step on a scale and record your weight. Pick up the dog and weigh yourself again. Subtract the combined weight of you and the dog from your weight. This number is the dog’s weight.
