- This is the correct way the doggie diaper should be fitting on your pet. The square on
their back should be towards the center of their back and not pulled towards their rear-
end. - Notice that the dog diaper garment is loose around her ribs so while she curls into a ball
her ribs can expand without having the fabric restrict her breathing causing discomfort. - The inserted disposable diaper is "lifted" inside of the garment which hugs the dog's
body, leaving the garment itself to be loose and more comfortable for your pet. - The elastic legs (the yellow part under the hind quarters) should be snug under each
hind leg. If the elastic hangs/sags, a smaller size is needed. - The rear-end portion of the trousers should come up to the base of their rectum (and
not cover it up) If there is more than a 1" gap in between the end of the fabric and their
rectum, a larger size is needed or the straps around their tail need to be cinched tighter.
(this only relates to females). If the fabric is covering their rectum up, a smaller size is
needed. - Notice that the disposable baby diaper edges are exposed. Do not fold the corners or
edges of the diaper to conceal it. In doing so may cause urine to roll over the top of the
paper of the disposable diaper and could cause leaks. - We send along a hang tag which shows how to install the disposable diaper into the
trousers: - 1) Open the disposable diaper and fold/crease it lengthwise to shape the diaper in
between their legs. - 2) There are 4 Velcro flaps. 3 of them will be used at all times. The one closest to the
rear is for females and the one in between their legs is for males. Open the appropriate
rear flap (and leave it open). Press the "soft" Velcro part of the baby diaper (the portion
that has a cartoon character on it) onto the now exposed rough Velcro you have opened
up. Notice that you can lift the diaper quite easily off the Velcro - this is supposed to
happen. Once the pet's body is against the diaper, the Velcro holds the diaper from
shifting from side to side and front to back. - 3) The 2 side flaps are both for males and females. Open both side flaps and insert
each of the "Velcro arms" of the disposable diaper. For males - put the tabs to the
furthest point towards his front legs. For females - put the tabs to the furthest point
towards her back legs. Then close the flaps (pressing the Velcro together) over the top
to keep the arms secure. The diaper is now secure within the trousers. - The above does not relate to XXS, XS, XS Plus. These sizes use an adult Serenity pad.
Remove the paper, exposing the adhesive backing and place the pad where most
appropriate for your male or female. There are different absorption levels within pads,
so purchase the type which best suits your pet's urination level. - The washing instructions are on the back side of the tag/label with our logo. "Machine
wash warm, no bleach, hang to dry". Drying the garment on heat deteriorates the
waterproofing membrane. Drying the garment in the dryer will cause fraying of the mesh
since other clothing, unclosed Velcro flaps, or objects will constantly rub up against the
fabric. Please make sure all Velcro flaps are closed as the Velcro will definitely snag the
fabric in the wash. - Each dog diaper size is approximately 1-2 inches bigger (XS Series), 2-3 inches bigger
(Small-Med-Large) and 3-4 inches bigger (XL-XXL) than the previous size. With this in
mind, if the size you ordered does not seem to be a perfect fit, it is very likely that the
next size will be. - There are 6 possible adjustments on the dog diaper. There are a variety of ways to
adjust this for a great fit. The key to proper fitting is the length and the rear legs as
mentioned above. If those are met, the size is more than likely correct and now all you
need to do is adjust all the straps to accommodate your pet. - Once you have a proper fit, the trousers work excellent for both male and female dogs
or cats with urinary incontinence.
