HELP for 'Markers', Seniors, Incontinence Issues
Belly Bands
The Belly Band consists of 4 layers of fabric: The outside layer is 100% prewashed cotton in the pattern of your choice. Here's your opportunity to show off your boy's personality. It's something you can't hide, so why not make it very visible? Possibly a bit of humor. There are many from which to choose. Next comes the layer of lightweight water repellent nylon. Next is the 'secret ingredient," a layer of ZORB, a specialty fabric designed to improve the performance of reusable diapers (or Belly Bands and Bitch's Britches.) ZORB traps 10X its weight in moisture in seconds second. That's faster than cotton, bamboo, or hemp knits. You could still, for even longer periods of time, use a stick-on incontinence pad, but's under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be necessary. Last layer, the one next to your boy's skin, is 100% prewashed, soft cotton flannel. The Belly bands are serged together and have mitered edges. They are double top-stitched and stitched in 5 different directions to make sure all layers permanently stay in place. Finally, there are 2 2" wide strips of Velcro to keep it on your Hound! Thank you, George Scheide, for such a fine modeling job on what could be a 'sensitive subject!' $25.00
Can't forget the Ladies' issues
Bitch's Britches
These are a new style of Bitches that I found on the Internet. These new Britches don't cover the hips like the original style, making it less constrictive for the Lady wearing them. There is much more adjustment available. Clients who have purchased these are more satisfied.
The Britches are constructed exactly like the Belly Bands with the same fabrics and stitching and close with Velcro around the waist and above the tail. An incontinence pad could be used, but probably won't be necessary. The Britches close up on her back with enough Velcro that if she gains a few ounces or so, they will still fit her. $45.00 These are sized only for Greyhounds or other large dog breeds, 19" waist and up.
