Looks like they use the same micro-absorbent materials used in diapers then you just wash them. I'm not crazy about the idea of having the buy several of these then having to always be washing them.
The rescue group I got him from suggested making one that has a soft pocket where I can slip in a kotex pad then simply throw that away.
My question on the ones I saw on artfire sites -- if these are made from flannel / cotton, what absorbs the urine?
I even thought of buying premie diapers and cut them up and put inside the homemade version - these would be more absorbent.
Thanks for any info on this subject since I'm a bit frustrated with this little guy. Other than this one issue, he's a perfect dog so I'm not giving up on him.

the belly band i use is made of fleece..the tiny diaper,fit inside it..no pocket for it. if i were to make one, i suppose i would of made a pocket for it..but really, it is not required..it stays in place..the band holds it there. he hasn't peed in it in quite a while.
if you want i can take some measurements of the one i have.

that would be wonderful if you would do that for me. I really love this little guy and determined to make this work for both of us. I know doxies can be little stinkers and bullheaded so I'm determined to win this battle.
thank you for your help!!
My friend uses no name brand baby diapers and cuts a hole in the back for his tail. so no belly bad. and he actually likes wearing it now..he is used to it.

You might also try to put some Rescue Remedy in the water bowl. A couple of drops. You can get this at a people health food store. It's a Bach Flower Remedy that works really well on anxious pets.
Good luck![/quote]
Highly recommend the Rescue Remedy, wouldn't have owned by parrots w/o it. Its all natural. It takes alittle while to notice a difference but so worth it. You would be doing him a huge favor as he doesn't like being this way either but has no clue what to do except what comes natural.
Huge kudos for everyone involved that saved this lil guy.
Here is our brand new family member as of yesterday-yep another rescue. He is a big 3 yr old English Springer & I will be using RR. Good luck w/ your lil guy.

I'd say take him to a vet too if he just started this. Our Pugs did this in any part of the house except the kitchen.....so they were quarantined to the kitchen. Now they moved out of state and have a new home. Couldn't take that and the hair any longer. I'm glad that they found a new home together. They were Lenny and Squiggy. :)

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I feel like I need to clarify.....
Our vet IS a WONDERFUL vet that we've been going to for 15 years. I would trust her with my CHILDREN if she were a pediatrician. We have done all the necessary testing and he does not have a bladder infection. I will, however, ask her about stones. And He IS NEUTERED. Both of the boys are. They are brothers from the same litter and when they were reunited, they have been best of friends. Bentley (the one peeing) is more the cuddler than Jasper so if anyone should be having jealousy issues, it's Jasper. But neither of them really do.
Also, this isn't a 'sudden' behavior... it's something we had mastered after getting him last December, and didn't have to worry about until the weather got cold again.
We do have a doggie door, and the dogs have in and out privileges at will.
We did the homemade belly band last night, and he hated it. I'm going to use it at night, and when I'm not home. I hope he learns to not hate it as much.... he pretty much stayed on ONE spot the whole night. lol

Holly- (Spoiled Bratzwear) makes hers with a super absorbent material inside (I can't recall the name of it) and PUL on the outside, with flannel against the body. Does not leak and holds alot.

Holly is a rescue person and hers are the best!
The other thing you need is a product called Unique Pet Odor and Stain Remover. You can contact their website to see where to buy it near you:
www.uniquemm.com.
I rescue dogs, frequently from puppy mills- freaked out and not potty trained. These things are a MUST.
You might also try to put some Rescue Remedy in the water bowl. A couple of drops. You can get this at a people health food store. It's a Bach Flower Remedy that works really well on anxious pets.
