How to Make Suspenders for Dog Diapers

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut the ends of the suspenders in the back, just before the intersection of the two straps.

      Flatten the reusable dog diaper so that the two holes for the hind legs are aligned. Slit a vertical hole through the top of the diaper for the suspenders to go through. When you reopen the diaper, there should be two vertical slits at the top of the diaper about an inch apart.

      Slide the suspenders through the slits of the diaper until the ends of the suspenders are aligned. Put your dog inside the step in harness. Insert a liner inside the diaper and place on the dog. Clip the suspender straps to the harness. Use treats to help the dog associate the harness with something positive.
