What is a Belly Band?
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.
How I make my Belly Bands
I make my belly bands with two layers of 100% breathable cotton or snuggle flannel fabric with another inner layer of snuggle flannel to help absorb the urine. I add a two inch heavy duty strength Velcro to secure the band to your pet.
How to Measure for Belly Bands
To correctly measure you're pet for a belly band measure around the waist close to their back legs and around the penis as pictured here.
Do not pull tightly or the belly Band will be too small. You want them to fit comfortably with allowance for a pad if using one.
Please use the measuring charts below for the available widths and lengths of my belly band.
If you would like a special width or length other than what is specified please email me at info@alittleunique.com |

Warning
My belly band is not meant to hold feces. I do not use a plastic liner for medical reasons, as urine held against the skin can cause hot spots and serious medical complications. They may leak so use with caution if you are not using an adhesive feminine pad.
Care
My belly bands are easy to care for. Secure Velcro before washing to extend the life of your belly band. The Velcro will become gummy in your washer and dryer if left unattached and my fray you're other items being washed. Machine with cold water and a mild detergent, stretch belly band and re-attach Velcro and tumble dry on low heat. Iron on mild setting if necessary.
