Doggie Diapers Won't Stay on Corgi?

Doggie Diapers Won't Stay on Corgi - tricolored Corgi with diaperI have a one year old Corgi, doggie diapers won't stay on. When she went into heat the first time we we went out and bought diapers to fit her. Unfortunately, they kept sliding off. We thought it was a mix of her long body and lack of a tail, so we got ones good for Basset Hounds. If you can tell by me being here, it's not working so well.

While they stay on in general, my dog thinks she's a snake and likes to slither over things rather than walk over them. Without a tail to stop it, the diaper comes right off when she does this. We tried putting a child's onesie over her, and while that worked for a little while, she eventually grew tired of having clothes on and used her little legs to wiggle out of it.

I can't have her sleep elsewhere because she'll cry nonstop, but I've had to get up enough times in the night to put her diaper back on. I'm getting pretty tired (in general) and of seeing my dog walk around with her soft harness on her bottom (my mother's way of keeping it secure until we can find better).

If anybody has any ideas that will work for a slippery little Corgi, I'm all ears.

Our late daschund, Carmel Ann, wore human baby diapers for 2 years. Dog diapers were useless. She was 11 pounds and wore the Walmart brand size 1. We cut a diamond shape for her tail.

Unlike the dog diapers, the human ones stayed on and never leaked. Every now and then, if we didn't get them just right, she would walk out of them or pull them off, but when they were secure, they stayed put. It gave her 2 years of quality of life!

Read the weight when picking the size. After one or two tries you will learn where to cut for the tail. We made diapie time special in the beginning with treats. Later we would just say diapie time and she would waddle over and wait patiently for the change. Good luck! Hug your pup for me.

I am hoping you might see this even though you posted quite a time ago. HOW did you get the diapers to stay ON your dachshund? My Sophie is 15 years old and a miniature Doxie. The diapers just dont fit her right and slide down the minute I put it on.

Do I tape the tapes or wrap tape around her tummy? Arrggh! I thought you might be able to tell me how you used to do it.

We cut a tail hole in the part that we be on a human baby's bottom that was a a 1 inch triangle, then fitted her tail thru, pulled the front part up, and used the tapes to adjust around her back legs. The tapes were on her lower back when we were done. She wore a Walmart brand size 1. When yet weight dipped she was in a newborn size. Blessings for your pup. I hope it works out for you! Message back if you need more info!

Here is a picture of her with her diaper from 2015. If you zoom on it, you can see the tabs on the top.

Blessings to your Sophie!

What about a diaper cover?

you could, of course, spay her

just kidding - I'm sure if you haven't already there's a good reason though i have a hard time imagining putting up with all that personally

I actually found some products that would seem to work if the human diaper idea doesn't (which one hopes it does because cheaper)

www.etsy.com/.../medium-dog-diaper-wrap-with-neck...

www.inthecompanyofdogs.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=D165020+LP+M&srccode...

due to shape of dog and fact they don't really WANT to wear something, a solution that seems to harness and connect around the neck seems the way to go.

Ok so obviously Im reading this cause Im having the same problem I have a boxer so her tail is docked so every diaper pretty much falls off right now she has a pull up on but it still ends up with me none stop pulling it up or putting it on, this is her 2 nd heat so with the last time I ended up using small adult diapers and a pair of my 7yr olds panties it works ok but I have to tie the sides of the diapers.
