Diapers For Very Little Dogs

I have a baby Chihuahua (male) that is not even 1 lb but too young to potty train right now. I would like to get a diaper that would fit him, but not even the xxxsmall diaper for dogs under 2lbs is small enough. Any ideas on how I can make or obtain such a thing?

well i would definitely understand why you would want diapers. i have 2 little pups just like yours and i have to carry them up and down the steps and i have tried to no avail to potty train them. if i could put a diaper on them at night it would be great but i did find another way. i keep them in my bedroom at night and i have a bathroom attached and by accident the dogs started going in there on a rug next to the toilet so now i let them and its there rug and i just wash regularly and we don't have this problem anymore.

i dont understand why you think he is to young. or you got him before he was weened. if he is weened then yes you can potty train him.

buy toddler socks or kids socks and cut holes in for
back feet to go thru
I agree sounds to young for diapers he needs
to be potty trained use the cover of a small shoe box to train it to go

I am not sure why you would want diapers for a dog. They might be useful for an older dog or one with a problem.

Chances are if you put a diaper on him he is likely to think it's a toy and end up either hurting himself or swallowing something that is not good for him.

If youre sure he is too young to potty train just give him a space with your family where he can have his little accidents and it wont wreck anything. Like a big box in the living room that has some privacy but is actually where people are. Where he can hear and see people and you can reach in and give him a cuddle or bring him out to play. Let your heart decide where and how.

If you can see him getting ready to go potty you can start teaching him tho. Reward good behavior, ignore bad. You dont have to take any 6 weeks, 8 weeks as written in stone to begin potty training.
