Depends for Dogs

It's never easy to watch your silver fox lose grasp of old habits, whether it be fetching a ball or running at the ring of a doorbell. But there may be nothing more heartbreaking (and frustrating) than when a dog becomes incontinent. The loss of such a basic function is often too much to bear, but the responsible dog owner will, of course, take the necessary precaution in keeping Fido (and, not to mention, the carpet) clean.

Naturally, the doggy diaper is meant to protect mess and embarrassment, but who's kidding who? Any canine that's ever worn a harness designed to catch pee knows firsthand the humiliation that comes with wearing one of those things. If dogs are man's best friend, then diapers are dogs' worst enemy.

In some cases though, a dog in diaper doesn't necessarily have to look pathetic. In fact, we found some amazing pictures of furry friends who aren't letting the "poo-bie traps" (we coined that one ourselves) ...er, dampen their day. (Sorry, we'll cool it with the puns ...for now.)

It is perfectly fine for doggy diapers. When we got our dog she was peeing in the house so we bought her a diaper and bye bye peeing in the house!
