Best Dog Incontinence ProductsDog incontinence products – the good ones, that is – can effectively curb your dog’s urinary (and calligraphy - check out the impressive doggie deck artwork in the picture) problems.  But what constitutes an “incontinence” problem in the first place? Is there more than one type of product out there? Which products are best? Good questions… What is Dog Incontinence?Dogs hold their urine in the bladder, and when they urinate that urine then passes through a small tube called the urethra…sound familiar?Yes, their systems work exactly the same as ours do. And for most dogs, the system works great and allows them to hold their urine for up to eight hours at a time. When a dog is suffering from urinary incontinence, they will experience involuntary or uncontrollable leaking of urine from the bladder. Often times, this leaking occurs when the dog is sleeping or resting, and it is quite common to see the dog licking the vulva or penile opening. The leaking can happen at any time of the day, but is more common during resting hours. Aging dogs, dogs with hormone problems, spayed or neutered dogs or dogs suffering from disease can also be more susceptible. Dogs who suffer from urinary incontinence often experience secondary problems such as…
(back to top of dog incontinence products) Dog Incontinence ProductsThere are several effective dog incontinence products on the market to make life easier for you and your dog.They come in five categories. The first four help with accidents and the last one is made to specifically improve the condition… Protective Dog DiapersDog diapers are a great option when your dog’s incontinence is not strictly a nighttime problem. If your dog is having daily accidents in the house, this is definitely your best option alongside effective herbal supplements.If your dog has never worn a dog diaper or any type of doggie clothing, it may be a struggle at first to keep the diaper in place. Certain dogs take to the diaper with no problem at all, while others will try anything to get it off their rear end. It may take persistence (and dog treats!), but in due time, your dog will get used to the feeling of the diaper. Cloth diapers are the eco-friendly option and can actually be much more comfortable than their plastic disposable counterparts. We like the SnuggEase Protective Dog Diapers because they are extremely easy to use and don’t require the purchase of extra pads. Here are the features:
Dog Training Pads as an Alternative to DiapersIf your dog’s urinary incontinence is still somewhat under control and your dog is responsive to training, then training pads are a good option.Consider placing them near the door where your dog (hopefully) asks to go out and close to their favorite resting place. Not all training pads are considered equal. Always go with a biodegradable option and look for scented pads that encourage dogs to urinate on them. Simple Solution Natural Biodegradable Puppy Training Pads have both of these features, are durable and are super absorbent.

It is not safe or sanitary for a dog to sleep on a wet, urine filled surface, nor is it probable that you will wake up in the middle of the night to clean the dogs’ bed.That leaves very few options to help promote the dog’s health and your sanity, but thankfully there is a great option out there for you both! The SleePee Time Bed from Handicappedpets.com was developed and designed to fit the needs of incontinent dogs while they sleep. It’s a unique, patented product that provides comfort and protection for your dog and we absolutely love it! In the words of the dog incontinence products manufacturer, here’s how the system works:
Well done SleePee-Time! The price for the SleePee Time Bed is $119, but according to dog owners who currently use it, “It’s the best thing since sliced bread!” (back to types of dog incontinence products) Dog Urine Cleaning Products for Accidents
It utilizes
bubbles that work their way down to the deep padding
underneath the carpet, completely getting rid of the odor detectable to
the dog. It’s non-enzyme, nontoxic and biodegradable.
Natural pet
wipes like those from
Earth Friendly are great to use between baths and to prevent any unsanitary build-up on the coat or skin. (back to types of dog incontinence products) Herbal Supplements to Promote Bladder HealthThe best natural herbal remedy that we have found is called UTI-Free. It serves as both an elixir that improves the condition short term as well as having the longer term benefit of maintaining urinary tract and bladder health and a healthy flow of urine.It also promotes the healthy functioning of your dog's immune system.  The active ingredients include:
