A Belly Band is essentially a diaper for your pet. It is meant for minor excitable urination; the band may be used alone or with a feminine pad. For more serious cases of excitable urination, habitual leg-lifting habits and puppy accidents simply attach a feminine pad to the underneath the belly band. For larger breed dogs I would recommend using a Poise pad. Wearing a belly band will not stop your dog from urine marking its territory inside your home but it will save your furniture, carpets and floors from the damage of dog urine. It will also save you the frustration of cleaning up after your pet's messes. It is best to always have a few around the house so while you are washing one you are never without.

Often a male dog will mark its territory in the house or even worse when you go visiting he marks inside someone else's house. This can be quite embarrassing to say the least.
Belly bands are designed to wrap around a male dog's body and cover his *****. It is a physical barrier between his urine and your furniture. A belly band is in fact a dog diaper.
Belly bands are not meant to worn constantly, but rather as an aid when you want to allow your dog inside the house without the headache of keeping a constant eye on him making sure he doesn't pee on your furniture. You should remove the belly band when your dog has to relieve himself outside.
Older dogs often become incontinent and a belly band is an excellent method to prevent urine dribbles on your floor and carpet.
What are Belly Bands made of?
Belly Bands are made of a thick absorbent type of fabric, such as flannelette. They are wrapped around the dog and fastened by means of a velcro strip sewn at each end of the wrap. Usually a good fitting belly wrap requires no elastic and will stay in place quite well.
You can also use a self adhesive feminine pad or an incontinence pad inside the belly band. These will hold more urine than the belly band alone, and you wont have to launder as often. Belly bands should be machine washable and reused as needed.
