Hi there and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! Some pet stores do sell liners for female diapers and belly bands. However, some of these are a little expensive. You can try your local wholesale retailer (like a Sam's Club or Costco) for generic sanitary pads for women than may fit nicely and work well.

Hello and thank you for addressing your concerns for Bella on Pet Coach. Petsmart carries these stretchy cloth diapers that has an area for you to place a disposable pad. They stay in place well but you will likely need to wash the diaper every other day (as its hard to keep blood off the sides). They come in a pack of two though so you can have one on while washing the others. Please post again if you have any other questions.

Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. Congratulations on your new little girl! Any pet-store will have diaper products for female dogs in heat, so you can go by and get some. Usually small breed dogs, especially on their first heat don't need any diapers and won't spot too much, and usually will clean themselves up. I recommend that you wait about 1-2 months and then have Lulu spayed before her next heat cycle. Spaying prevents the common and severe condition of pyometra, and also prevents unwanted pregnancies (shih-tzus often have trouble with birth and often require a c-section and get eclampsia, so you should not breed her especially if she is your first dog), and decreases her risks of being hit by a car (less roaming) and also decreases the risks of many cancers. You can chat with your vet about the best timing for this. Best of luck with Lulu! I hope you have fun with her!

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If the puppy pads do not work, I would recommend a product called Fresh Patch, which you can order online. I have found that potty training is much more successful with this product. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

If you are unable to take her out to go to the bathroom it would be better to train her to puppy pads. The constant use of diapers could result in urinary infections, and sores from the urine and poop touching her skin a lot of the time. She also needs fresh air and exercise so try to make time to take her for walks several times a day. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Butter.
