Frilled Female Dog Sanitary Pants with Tail Hole

These sanitary pants slip over a female dog's back end and hold a pad in place while she is in heat, or help keep a little accident contained around the house. The body is a soft cloth with an elastic waistband, and a bit of ruffled trim runs across the back so they look more like a pair of shorts than a medical garment. A round opening with an elastic edge lets the tail pass through.

Put them on the way you would a pair of shorts: step her feet through or lift the hind end in, then thread the tail through the hole and settle the waistband at her waist. Because the waist is elastic rather than fastened, it stretches to fit but also means the size you choose matters more than it would with a hook-and-loop strap.

No measurements are given for the individual sizes, so measure your dog's waist and the length from waist to the base of the tail, then compare with what you know about how snug elastic-waist pants should sit. If she is between sizes or has a thick coat, go up one. A pair is a single layer of cloth, so for heavier flow or longer stretches indoors you may want a second pair to rotate. Wash before first wear and check the fit again after drying.
