Structure and properties of reusable diapers

Diapers consist of several layers (usually 4), due to which moisture is absorbed, accumulated and retained inside. All of them are made of modern materials that ensure the performance of the above functions. The most widely available diapers on the market today are those consisting of 4 layers.

To produce this dog hygiene product, polyester knitted fabrics are used, which have proven themselves to be durable and dense.

The top layer of the diaper consists of a special fibrous material that quickly allows liquid to pass inside and dries itself. Thanks to this feature, the pet’s paws will remain dry, which will not create additional problems when cleaning the apartment.

The middle layer is a polyurethane membrane capable of storing up to 3 liters of liquid. In this case, the absorbed urine remains inside and does not flow out. This layer is breathable.

The bottom layer in contact with the floor is made of a special material that prevents moisture from getting out of the diaper, even when it is full.

Main properties of reusable absorbent diapers:

• High strength of materials used in the manufacture of diapers. This allows you to wash them either by hand or in any washing machine up to 300 times without loss of quality. It is almost impossible to damage or tear it.
• High rate of urine absorption, which ensures dry paws of the pet.
• Complete absence of fillers.
• Ability to retain unpleasant odors.
• The ability to accumulate about 3 liters of pet urine, which gives flexibility in use for both decorative and small dogs, as well as larger breeds. For example, for Great Danes.

Japan Premium Pet

The Japanese manufacturer is especially concerned about the health of pets, therefore it develops safe and high-quality products. Only in 2012, Russia first saw this product on store shelves and since then many buyers have switched only to the products of this brand. The diapers are made of polymer materials that reliably absorb moisture and prevent it from leaking out, thanks to the waterproof layer. The outer layer is equipped with an antibacterial layer, which allows dogs to avoid skin irritation and removes unpleasant odors.

Pros:

1. The diapers contain a layer of sorbent;
2. Antibacterial property;
3. Good liquid absorption;
4. There is a choice of diapers of different sizes;
5. Environmentally friendly and safe materials.

Mr. Tail recommends: when is it convenient to use reusable diapers?

There are a number of situations when it is convenient to use reusable absorbent diapers. These include:

• when a puppy appears in the family;
• illness or old age of an adult dog;
• in the postoperative period;
• on long trips by bus, car or train, if the pet is not accustomed to a diaper or diaper;
• in the postpartum period for mother and puppies;
• when visiting guests, you should also take an absorbent diaper with you to avoid unpleasant situations;
• in the recovery period after serious illnesses.

Also, owners of dogs of decorative breeds who prefer to go to the toilet in a diaper cannot do without this device.

Training by month

• In the first two months of life, the puppy needs to be accustomed to his own name and the basic commands “come” and “place”.
• In the second or third month of life, the Yorkie should be accustomed to putting on a collar and leash, and the commands “sit” and “walk.”
• At three to four months, the puppy easily learns the commands “lie down” and “near.”
• At four to five months it is better to practice the commands that were learned earlier.
• At five to six months you can begin to learn more complex commands - “stand” and “take”.
• Starting from seven to eight months, the dog will well master the commands “voice” and “fetch”.
• Starting from 10 months, you can learn other commands and take the dog to the training ground. Until this time, it is better to practice already familiar commands.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like many hygiene products, absorbent diapers have their pros and cons.

The advantages include:

• ability to retain large volumes of liquid and unpleasant odors for a long time;
• non-slip bottom surface, which is convenient for the pet;
• the diaper can be washed quickly and easily;
• after washing and drying, it retains its original appearance and does not deform;
• It is difficult for a pet to tear it, but even if this happens, it is not dangerous for the dog’s health, since there is no filler inside that it can eat;
• beautiful appearance;
• Thanks to the special structure of the top layer, it does not cling to your pet’s claws.

The disadvantages include:

• The price for such diapers is high. After all, you have to buy several pieces for use: while one is in the wash, they replace it with another. Some pets need several of these “rugs” at once, located in different places in the apartment or house. For example, old or sick dogs who simply do not have time to get to their toilet. This also increases the cost of this important accessory.
• Diapers from certain manufacturers develop an unpleasant odor after washing and their absorbency deteriorates. They may also start to leak after some time of use. The worst reviews were received by “rugs” of Turkish and Chinese origin.

How to accustom a puppy to a reusable diaper

With the arrival of a puppy in the family, you need to be prepared for the fact that he himself will determine an area to fulfill his natural needs. You must first remove all rugs and floor coverings from your apartment or house, otherwise they will be chosen as a toilet. You should put an absorbent diaper in your favorite place. Sometimes there may be several such locations, which means you will have to purchase several similar dog hygiene products.

To quickly strengthen the urination reflex, you need to put the puppy on a diaper immediately after sleep or feeding. Some pets begin to whine and spin in place before going to relieve their natural needs, then it’s worth taking your pet to a fresh diaper. It is worth monitoring the cleanliness of the bedding; the dog will not go to an unpleasantly smelling or overcrowded one, but will begin to look for other places in the apartment.

Are Yorkies easy to train?

Absolutely any dog ​​must undergo a training course, regardless of whether the animal will participate in exhibitions or simply please its owners.

An ill-mannered pet becomes uncontrollable and only annoys its owners . This applies to even the tiniest dogs.

Yorkshire Terriers are very affectionate to their owners and happily listen to their commands, so they are quite easy to train.

When your baby Yorkie is a month old, you can train him little by little..

The first thing a dog must learn is its name. After this, you can begin to study the simplest commands, for example, “to me” and “place”.

Once your Yorkie puppy has learned these commands, you can train him further, gradually learning more complex commands.

TOP reusable diapers for dogs

Pet stores and the Internet offer a wide range of absorbent, reusable diapers for dogs. There are several types of goods, grouped by country of origin.

Russian made

Among the most famous brands are:

• Talismed. The price for 1 diaper, measuring 30*40 cm, starts from 700 rubles, up to 3000 rubles for 100*120 cm. There have been a lot of negative reviews about this product recently; dog owners who use products from this manufacturer say that the quality of the product does not match price and stated promises. Many people complain about the appearance of an unpleasant odor after the first use, as well as about leaking products.

• Peligrin (Dobrozveriki). The cost of absorbent bedding of this brand is lower and ranges from 400 to 1000 rubles. There have been no negative reviews about these diapers yet.

• Show Dog. Produced in Ivanovo from domestic materials. The price starts from 600 rubles for 1 piece. They have many positive reviews. The assortment includes colors to suit every taste and budget. There is also a wide range of sizes, so you can choose one suitable for a dog of any size: from miniature to large.

European and American production

The range is quite wide, but you can mostly buy them through online stores. Cost starts from 7-8 US dollars. The most popular diapers are from the following manufacturers: EZwhelp, Four Paws, Simple Solutions. They are of higher quality compared to products from other categories.

Chinese

A huge number of products that do not have a brand, as well as replicas of famous ones, can be bought on any website or in the pet supplies department. They are cheaper, but with quality - a lottery where it is impossible to guess. There are many both positive and negative reviews.

Diaper or tray

Yorkie puppies learn in just a few months. You will need to choose the most convenient option for a particular baby: a tray with fillers or a diaper. If there are cats or other dogs in the house, you should choose the same type as other animals. This will make it much easier for the puppy to get used to it.

Diaper

An absorbent mat can be purchased at any supermarket near your home. It is not necessary to buy specialized diapers for animals. This is just a marketing ploy, they are no different from similar products for children. At the same time, there are often discounts on baby diapers.

Diapers are safe, but have a number of disadvantages:

• high price;
• one-time use. They cannot be washed. Yorkies are very clean, it will be necessary to replace this bedding after each use. Otherwise, the dog will do his business side by side;
• Dogs love to tear up such products. Pieces of the diaper can be swallowed, resulting in poisoning, volvulus and other dangerous situations.

However, it is very convenient to change the diaper by simply throwing it out and putting on a new one. There is no need to wash anything, you can leave a few pieces nearby.

Of course, there are reusable options, but they will have to be washed after each use.

Tray

The stores offer a huge range of products that differ in price, materials and configurations. There are trays with sides, posts, and special coverings. It is better not to buy too cheap products. The materials from which they are made absorb odors very well, which are difficult to remove. Will have to change often.

It is better to use newspapers or paper as filler. A Yorkie puppy can perceive other litter as a toy, scatter pieces around the apartment and even eat it.

The toilet is located in the apartment in such a way that it is not in plain sight or in a walk-through area. This should be a secluded corner. At first, it is placed next to the puppy’s bed. Babies cannot control their urges, so during the adjustment period, a tray or diaper should be nearby.

Features of washing reusable diapers

As necessary, you need to wash the reusable diaper in the washing machine or by hand. No special products are required for this; ordinary powder that the pet owner uses in everyday life will do.

Before starting use, many manufacturers advise washing the product on the “synthetic fabrics” or “colored” mode at a temperature of +40 ℃ and 800 spin speeds. Thanks to this, the absorption capacity of the litter is maximized and it will last longer.

When washing, it is not recommended to use aggressive products (for example, those containing bleach), bleaches and rinse aids. They can not only disrupt the structure of the materials included in the product, but also add an additional odor that will repel the pet from using the diaper.

The frequency of washing depends on the individual characteristics of the dog, its age, size, and gender. So, male dogs should be washed more often afterward, since along with their urine they excrete special substances that have a pungent odor. The frequency of washing most often varies from 1 to 3 days of using the litter.

Basic mistakes in parenting

If the following rules are not followed, raising and training Yorkies may not bring any results at all.:

• The dog trusts its owner.
• The owner is patient with the pet.
• Classes are held systematically.
• The dog receives punishment and rewards in a timely manner.
• Training is interesting for the dog.
• The training is carried out by the person whom the dog recognizes as the owner.

If at least one of the conditions is not met, the dog will not listen to the owner.

It is important to understand and feel your pet so that it pleases its owner.

The Yorkshire Terrier is a very loyal dog breed.

These pets love their owners very much, so they will do everything to please him. Therefore, the effectiveness of education and training depends only on the attitude and efforts of a person.

How to make a reusable dog diaper with your own hands

With minimal sewing skills, you can make a reusable absorbent diaper yourself. There are many master classes on the Internet on how to make them correctly. There are two most popular options:

• Purchase multilayer absorbent fabric from Avalon Invest, which is used by domestic manufacturers of ready-made diapers. But it is sold only in rolls of 40 square meters. m. at a price of about 30 thousand rubles. Therefore, it is worth purchasing it by pooling or together with nurseries.
• Sew it yourself from certain fabrics. For this you will need: thick linen or cotton fabric;
• non-woven viscose fabric;
• the polyurethane membrane is waterproof but still breathable;
• medical oilcloth or knitted fabric (polyester);
• strong threads;
• stitching needle;
• tape measure;
• pre-prepared drawing.

All fabrics are laid in layers in the above sequence and stitched around the perimeter. The cut can be trimmed along the edge with a edging made of a special dense tape, which will increase the service life of the product. When making your own reusable absorbent diaper, you should not expect it to last as long as the factory one.

ZOO Nanny

This Russian manufacturer of pet products will be able to please you with a wide range of products for dogs and cats. The line of nappies, diapers and fillers pleases with a large selection, as well as the size of the packaging. Here you can buy a couple of disposable diapers, or you can buy a pack at once, which will be more affordable. The diapers vary in size and absorbency, allowing you to choose the right type for large or small dogs.

Pros:

1. Large selection of diapers according to size and degree of moisture absorption;
2. Affordable prices;
3. Quality materials;
4. Product prevalence.

Which is more profitable?

If diapers are used on a permanent basis, then buying reusable products is not only more convenient, but also profitable. They are relatively inexpensive if you calculate how long a pack of reusable products will be used. However, many dog ​​owners still use disposable ones.

There are various reasons for this, one of them is the reluctance to wash a soiled diaper. Disposable products are easier to use - when they become dirty, they are simply thrown away and replaced with new ones. There is no need to waste time washing and drying.

Another advantage is the low cost of a pack of disposable products. They can be purchased regularly, like dog food or cheap pet toys. Reusable ones require more investment, and this is not surprising. After all, their service life covers these costs.

Disposable diapers are also more often purchased because they are used where reusable products are not required. Such diapers can be purchased for urgent needs: giving birth to a dog, transporting it to a veterinary clinic, organizing a toilet for puppies.

Disposable products are a more economical option in the short term. But this does not make reusable diapers any less popular among dog owners. They remain in first place among buyers who care for weakened and old animals.

Are there other options

Old newspapers and expensive disposable bedding are definitely inferior in all respects to new bedding. Newspapers and paper are torn and do not meet basic hygiene standards; disposable bedding is too expensive, clumps and breaks quickly. You have to use several beddings per day, which has a negative impact on finances. Against this background, the use of reusable diapers becomes no alternative. It is reliable, convenient for the dog and the owner.

Some dog owners put diapers on their pets, but the dog may refuse to have this item on their body.

There is only one reasonable solution - using reusable diapers.

Toilet training outdoors

Even if the baby is completely indoors, he must have the ability to defecate outside. Street toilet rules:

• It is advisable to take the dog outside after each meal;
• At first there will be misfires, but over time the puppy will get the hang of it. He will become interested in street smells and will want to mark his territory. He will become a member of the street dog society and will leave his “messages”;
• For a puppy, the frequency of walks is 5 or 6 times a day; for an adult dog, you can limit yourself to two walks. The best option would be three walks a day;
• You should not walk in slushy, chilly weather. The Yorkie may perceive such exits as punishment and will refuse to empty the bladder and intestines. This is exactly the breed that, under certain weather conditions, needs special clothing. The overalls are selected strictly according to size so that it does not hinder the dog’s movements, but is not too large. It is worth considering shoes or additional protection for the paw pads. Exposure to chemicals in winter can seriously injure your paws.

Of course, the dog needs to be praised and rewarded for correctly completed lessons.
