Doggie Diapers?
Hello!
From my time in Japan I have witnessed the explosion of doggie fashion as Paris Hilton and her fashionable chihuahua have gained popularity. Everything from designer clothes and designer carry bags to flashing collars and *shiver* nail polish. I have seen dyed doggie hair, salon-styled doggie hair, doggie cafes and stores, as well as, my new favorite, doggie diapers. I tell you, when I first encountered a dog wearing a diaper I was taken aback. How does that work, I thought. It seems after he makes a mess of himself you'd still be left with the job of cleaning him. I understand not wanting to follow your dog around with a little bag for mess, but daily baths don't seem the answer. Riddled with my churning curiosity I entered a pet store to find out the answer to this burning question.
The doggie diaper, apparently only for urine and not for solid waste (can the dog read the package I wonder?), is to protect from light accidents. They can be used inside to protect the furniture, or outside to protect against embarrassing "mark the territory" accidents. It comes in a variety of sizes and you can get a cute little harness to ensure it stays in place. You can cover said harness with a fashionable booty cover to match any day's outfit. Perplexing.
After all my reading, however, I still found my question unanswered. Even if the dog can read the box and knows the diaper is only for urination, wouldn't there still be a daily mess to clean? Does anyone have experience with doggie diapers? Or does anyone have a pet peeve about the Japanese pet dog?
