I am so excited to let everyone know that the Washable Wonders™, our reusable and self-absorbent dog diapers, are now available. I would also like to once again thank all those wonderful senior dog owners that helped with the testing and provided invaluable feedback to help make these the most effective dog diapers on the market today.
Here are a few of our volunteers – from left to right: Hank, Puggy-Sue and Tip. THANKS for your help!
As you can see from our diaper models above there are a couple different styles of dog diapers. We have a full diaper style which is available for females in pink, purple and blue, and the same full diaper style in blue with an extended waist to suit male dogs. We also have a wrap perfect for male dogs available in blue and soon we will also have it in black.
Each diaper is made with an absorbent micro-fiber inner layer and a waterproof and highly flexible outer PUL material.
The other great news about these dog diapers is that they fit dogs of all sizes from the tiny to the largest of breeds.
We worked with baby diaper experts to bring the highest quality diaper to the dog world to help older dogs and their families dealing with dog incontinence – and we feel we have really created something really special here. Give them a try and share your story.

Our testing has wrapped up and we have begun production of our eco-friendly washable dog diapers. If you would like to be one of the first to be notified when our Washable Wonders™ are available for purchase and you would like to earn yourself a 10% discount, please sign up for our waiting list below.
In addition, feel free to watch the video to see the diapers in action – we have a full diaper style and a male wrap. Each diaper has a range of sizes to fit teacup all the way up to the largest breeds. The diapers themselves have an absorbent microfiber liner and a waterproof soft PUL outer fabric. We will also be selling washable inserts for those dogs that need extra absorbency.
Over the past few months we at DogQuality.com have been hard at work developing a new line of eco-friendly washable dog diapers. The motivation for these products was based on consistent feedback received from senior dog owners who have been frustrated with the dog diapers currently on the market.
Key issues include:
Disposable dog diapers can be expensive since an older dog struggling with incontinence and bowel trouble will often go through multiple diapers each day.
The current washable dog diapers available today are more like diaper covers since they require an owner to insert a disposable pad to provide the necessary absorbency. Inserting a pad can also be expensive and is not very comfortable for your dog.
Using disposable products rather than reusable can be extremely damaging to the environment. Disposable diapers and pads, just like disposable baby diapers, typically end up in landfills and have been estimated to take 250-500 years to decompose according to a study by the Women’s Environmental Network. Yikes!
Taking in all this feedback we wanted to create a truly environmentally friendly, comfortable, absorbent, waterproof and cost effective solution for dealing with dog incontinence and bowel troubles. As a result, we created the Washable Wonders™, self-absorbent, reusable dog diapers which do not require a pad insert because of a super soft and extremely absorbent microfiber lining, which holds up to 7 times its weight in liquid. The diaper’s outer shell is made of a waterproof PUL material which will keep your carpets and furniture dry. So soft and comfortable for your dog and so effective for your peace of mind. These dog diapers will come in a variety of sizes to fit small, medium and large dogs.
We have created two styles of the Washable Wonders™ – a full diaper style and a male wrap design. Initial testing has been completed and further modifications have been made based on the results. We are currently in customer trials. We have 12 customers with dogs (male and female) suffering from incontinence helping us with the final round of testing. Final modifications will be made based on their feedback to ensure that we bring the best dog diapers to market.
I hope you are getting as excited as I am about the help these diapers will give to owners and dogs alike.
As many of you know we talk a lot about dog diapers as an important way to help senior dogs and one of the themes that comes up over and over again is the problem some breeds have with keeping a diaper on. We recently showed you a washable diaper that does a great job of staying on your dog, however up until now we didn’t have a solution for those senior dog owners who prefer the disposable dog diapers, but have breeds with trouble keeping these diapers in place.
For some people the traditional disposable dog diapers work great. They are affordable, comfortable and do the job, but for others these simply do not stay on their dogs long enough to be an effective solution to unwanted accidents. I personally have experienced this issue with my French Bulldogs so I have been on the hunt for a solution to this challenging issue and I am excited to announce that we have found a very cool disposable dog diaper that actually stays on your dog even if they are running around your house. They are called Do-rite diapers and I am proud to be adding this high quality product to our selection and I am extra excited because this is the first time these disposable dog diapers are available in Canada.
Here is a closer look at this amazing new product:
I describe these as premium disposable dog diapers because you will quickly see that they are quite a bit more expensive than traditional disposables, but once you try them out you will see why. These diapers are of very high quality and have a truly innovative design, which is what makes them such an effective product. They have a much higher waist line that any diaper on the market today, which makes them suitable for both male and female dogs. They are made of a very unique woven fabric that allows the sides to stretch to fit your dog properly, while remaining comfortable and they come with a stretchy set of suspenders that keep the diapers where they need to be – on your dog. Unfortunately you need to pay for that effectiveness.
These diapers are approximately 5 times as expensive as regular disposables, but it is well worth it if it means keeping your dog happy and your carpets clean. For those senior dog owners who have struggled with keeping diapers on their dog, this product can bring you the peace of mind you and your dog have been looking for.
We are selling these in trial packs of 2 so people can test them out or you can purchase them in a 5 pack . We welcome your feedback on this new addition to our product line, so please drop me a line and tell me what you think.

We have had dog diapers on the brain lately, but there are other options for dog owners and their older dogs who are facing problems with incontinence or issues with bowel control – Dog Pads. In this video we take a look at two types of dog pads; disposable dog pads and washable dog pads, both of which can offer valuable protection and relief for you and your senior dog.
What I like about using dog pads is that rather than covering the dog as is the case with dog diapers, dog pads can be used where accidents occur most often. For some older dogs, accidents occur most often in a bed, and with others it may be by the door or on the floor. For example we use dog pads for Sheba, my mother’s yorkie-poo who is 14 years young. Sheba has most of her accidents while laying in bed (human and dog) so we use a pad for times when she is sleeping and they work wonders. Not only does it make life easier for my parents, but Sheba feels much better knowing she didn’t make a mess of things. Our dogs can get as embarrassed about losing control of their bladder and bowels as humans do, so we need to be respectful of their dignity to help maintain their spirits.
For some senior dog owners the disposable pad will make more sense since you can throw them out and not have to deal with the mess, but for other dog owners, who like the idea of not having to replenish supplies, then the washable pads make the most sense since you can reuse them after a simple wash.
Whichever type of dog pad works for you it is great to have another option to help you and your older dog manage the challenges that come with a dog’s golden years.
