Dog britches; a solution to early spaying

If you’ve heard the debate, maybe you have an opinion on it. For those who aren’t sure that spaying is the best option for young dogs or any dogs for that matter, dog diapers can get them through that first heat cycle and as many more as necessary.

The debate about spaying

One of the questions that parents of female dogs deal with is whether to spay or not. For those who decide to have their female dog spayed, the question is "when is the right time?"

Evidence has become available about possible problems a dog can experience if she's spayed too early. This post from DogsNaturally.com explains some of the potential issues involved. 

You can also find evidence to support the case for not spaying your dog at all.  Or maybe you come from the camp of spaying as population control.  No matter your thoughts, anyone who has had to deal with a dog in heat knows the inconvenience involved there.

Arguments can be made for or against spaying.  I have my opinions about this, but each dog parent has to make their own decision. 

Heat cycles are going to happen. One way to deal with it is to have your female dog spayed. However, if you’d prefer not to, diapers can contain the mess so you can still hang out with your dog.

Deciding not to spay your dog before their first heat cycle

If you've decided to wait until your dog has had at least one heat cycle, that means you're going to have to deal with the mess and inconvenience.  Things can get messy.  Your patience will probably be tried.

However, having a diaper that's easy to use and comfortable for your dog can greatly reduce the amount of frustration you have to deal with. Benefits of using a diaper like this, 

- a pad is placed to contain the mess and then changed as needed, reducing laundering.   

- made of soft cotton flannel to decrease the occurrence of sores or worn areas.

- adjustable, so you can use them when your dog is a puppy and later as an adult.

If you have a female dog that is intact (unaltered), heat cycles are going to happen. Why not use a diaper that is made to fit your dog well so they can be comfortable and you can contain the mess.
