What do you use on females in heat?

So I think little Tess is finally going into heat.. my little girl is growing up LOL. She's really swollen. Obviously she will be kept inside with my eye on her outside at all times during.

Any ideas on "dog pants"? Her butt is much too small and boney to fit into the cloth diapers at the pet store. I bought human diapers awhile ago and cut a hole in but they fit really weird and don't stay on.

When I had custody of Irma the frenchie and she was in heat, she wore custom made (bought from dog shows) cloth diapers/undies with a panty liner inside. Attached to the diaper were "suspenders" that went over her head/around her chest, so they stayed on.

Those sound neat, but I've never seen them.. just the regular diaper looking ones. Maybe there's a dog show around here I can look around at soon...

No, Tess is a dirty dog LOL, but I am thinking more of the bed etc.. as she sleeps with me in my arms. She has a really odd shaped butt.

I also wish I could have gotten my moms reaction on tape when I drove up to CT to visit, and Irma had the undies with suspenders on. She was like "....what in christs name is that dog wearing and why?"



I don't have a photo of her wearing the whole get up :( Just the top...and I lied...the suspender ones were flower printed ;)

And I asked a few of my breeder friends where they got theirs, so hopefully I'll have an actual answer for you on where to buy them (and not for $27) soon.

OMG. LOL. Those are almost worth buying even though they are expensive!

Yeah.. regular boy's undies wouldn't work on her. Maybe I could use those as a base, and sew suspenders on them, though.

*Regrets buying an odd-shaped dog*...

Sure! I just looked at her again and she is bleeding.. *sniff*. It would at least be good to get a price on them and if she can actually make them.. (they might be more expensive). Good to know for next time she comes in heat!!

I found she fits 3-6 month onesies.. there aren't any underwear that are made small enough for her, lol. Those suspender ones would be so much easier but for now it'll have to do!

I found those worked great for Bailey the rescue who was in heat, easy to use and wash...Now I have some for the next time one comes in that isn't spayed yet.........I got the purple and pink duo set...very pretty on her :)

So.. Tess hates her onesie. She is also being unbearably clingy (even more than usual!).. I can't even pee in peace right now.

I feel you my big female is in heat and keeping my males away from her are crazy noisy. But it only happens every six months so not to bad and estrous only happens for about five days, after that and before that she keeps the males away from herself.
I keep doggy diaper on her and have several pairs

I used disposable baby diapers for Chelsy (these were for peeing, not being in heat) and just snugged them up really tight with the velcro. They worked really well but I had to experiment until I found the right size to fit her. Apparently dogs are shaped somewhat differently then human babies !
