Small breed dogs do not necessarily need to be walked every day, and small puppies that have not yet been vaccinated are not allowed outside at all.

As a toilet for such pets, you can use a diaper or a tray. What is better - we figure it out in this article.

Each option has its pros and cons, so professionals in this field advise giving your pet a choice and monitoring its behavior - this way you will understand what is more convenient for it.

You can also focus on your own convenience - fortunately, dogs are equally well trained to both diapers and litter boxes.

But it would be optimal to use a combination of these toilet “accessories” – to offer the dog a combination of a tray with a diaper laid on the bottom.

The litter needs to be changed at least once a day, and the tray needs to be washed about once a week.

There are even special trays designed for this type of combined use.

They are designed in such a way that the diaper is securely fixed, and thanks to the low sides, it is possible to prevent liquid from spreading on the floor.
