Ugh some of these comments. Not all dogs are the same. And no this isn't for convenience of the owner. My golden is 9 days into her first heat. I let her just be in her crate and blood got all down her legs and her tail. She would sometimes squat in kitchen and blood would come out because of urge and not making it outside. So diapers help with cleanliness and sanity. She drips on the floor at times. I don't think some of you have dealt with it to this degree. So please save your comments. Not everyone has the same situation.
BEST HEAT VIDEO I HAVE SEEN !!! i have been watching countless videos in preparation of our pup going into heat...this is by far the most helpful down to the diapers and pads you recommended (and the demos) i can't thank you enough for taking the time to do this.
I have to let my dog go through her heat cycle one to two times according to the vet so that her joints won't be bad as she ages. Until I can get her fixed, I have been cleaning up blood everywhere! I love these ideas. Thank you.
Don't get your dog fixed it's really unhealthy for them. Vets will tell you that it decreases the risk of 3 types cancer and while that's true what they don't tell you is that it increases the risk of 10 other types of cancers as well as brain tumors and accelerated brain aging particularly in female dogs.
Me too. I don't want to breed my dog and i don't want her whole life could threatened by pyometra as well. Closed Pyometra has high mortality rate because even if your dog survived at 24-48 hours critical phase, after the emergency surgery, the infection is still on going and could lead to septic bacteria infection - not to mention E. Coli as the main bacteria is not a joke whether its for human, dog, cat or other animals.
@Aluzky That is not necessarily true! The oldest females {Bitches} I have known have ALL been spayed. the oldest, a Labrador, died at 19. She was spayed after her first season. Others, 15, 16. No illnesses whatsoever. They too were spayed after their first season. Spaying before a first season isn't advisable, but spaying definitely frees a bitch up from phantom pregnancies and Pyometra.
Thank you for this video. My Shepard..Taylor, just started her first heat cycle at just at 14 months old, so this is a learning experience for both of us. She is just starting her second week into her cycle. So far, so good. This video helped me a great deal, so thanks again!...
Well, my Taylor is just now completing her 2nd cycle now, so going thru the first I definitely learned a lot..and this video helped a great deal. Thanks again for the great information. I'll continue to watch all your videos!.. By the way, German Shepherds are great!!!❤
Your training and dedication to your dog is awesome. I appreciate how your dog waits for you to instruct her to go outside. I have my pup and she is now 5 months old. I plan to breed her with my male dog in the distant future and look to see how to be in control of the breeding time frame.
This was incredibly helpful. I rescued a 2 year old Spaniel mix. Per the shelter she's had puppies in the past. I've only had her almost 2 months and today she has started a heat cycle. This is all new to me. And your tips were helpful. Thank you!
Great Vid... I have a female GS (one year one momth) who just started her 1st one tiday. I was freaking out and would be lost without this vid!! Thank You!!!
Thank you for this! I've never had a female dog before and didn't even realize this would be an issue. Thank you for the tips. My dog thanks you too! 🐕😊
Thanks! My girl (Lola) is 8 mo and we just went through her first cycle, but she did a great job cleaning up after herself, I had very minimal Extra work. But great tips for the future Thank you
Thank you so much, this is my first time having a female pup, although I researched prior to getting her I didn’t know when she’d be in heat, took about a year for us. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
@@TheButlerK9s The diapers and carefree pads will be delivered tomorrow. 'l just clean up behind her until then. She will sleep in her crate starting tomorrow night. I just wish i would of searched this a couple of weeks ago so i could have gotten her use to the diapers ahead of time. I did a lot of research this am when i realized her cycle had started (t snuck up on me she just turned 7 months) You hands down have the best info. Will follow every single tip! Also subbed to your channel THANK YOU THANK YOU!
My puppy is only 8 months, and I see bloody discharge coming out.... all she wants to do is play. she also gets fuzzy towards the night 😢 thanks for the tips. 🎉
Thank you for this helpful information. I have had dogs all my life and have never had a female go through a heat cycle……until now. Your tip to use a panty liner is excellent. It works even with the disposable doggie diapers. A lot less expensive. I learned how to put the diaper on our sweet dog by watching this helpful video. Thank you!!!
I'm so glad this was helpful! I know I had no idea what I was doing the first time around haha so I wanted to share a few things I learned along the way
I have my girl currently going through her first heat, she is 8 months. I also have an intact male and they are getting along pretty well. They need constant supervision of course. As for right now he is only sniffing her and licking her but once she goes into the estrus phase I would keep them completely separated. She hates the diaper, she licks herself all the time to keep clean so I haven’t notice any blood in the carpet or floors, she also doesn’t want to play much especially outside.
Thank you very much for this information. My female GSD is 8 1/2 months old, and i want to be as prepared as i can. This is my first female dog. Just to make it more challenging, we are living in our travel trailer in an rv park and we have another female dog, ( she is a mix and spayed already) We are going to have our German Shepherd spayed after a full cycle. I will take your advice and purchase the diapers right away to get her used to them. Plus, she is not a big fan of her crate and does not sleep in it at night.(She will nap in it from time to time though.) It is the airport carrier type, and she chews on it at the bottom by the door when we are away . We don't leave her for more than a few hours at a time a few times a week but i have been considering looking into the type of crate you showed in your video.i am wondering if she will be more comfortable and not try to chew inside. Anyway, Thank you again for putting out this video for all of us newbies. :)
My miss fancy pants went into heat for the first time this morning! She is just over 8 months old! So glad I got her “fancy pants” early 🤣. Actually, they just came from Amazon a week or so ago so I could have plenty of time to help her adjust. Well, that day never came! After putting the diaper on wrong, I did figure a few things out on my own. 🎉 the recommendation for her to be diaper less while in the crate is a great idea! Glad I kept those old towels. She’s very happy though. I wonder if she had pms?! 🥹
Sometimes even when we try to be prepared, they surprise us! I'm glad the tips were helpful! I've always wondered if they feel how we do or it its different. If only they could tell us!
My dog just went into her first heat cycle (she'll be 1 this month) I've grown up around unfixed girl dogs but she's smaller. Idk if it's because she's shaped differently down there but it looks very swollen. I wish there was a metric to go off of
Bro I literally picked up pads for her diaper and there were three times the size of her diaper p still getting used to this is her third one with me she's 5 Valentine's baby p her name is Eve
Watching this at 10 pm after my malinios went into heat unexpectedly weeks before she was scheduled to be spayed. She’s currently in a size 6 baby diaper with a hole cut for her tail. 😭 Will definitely have to pick these things up and hope they come tomorrow!
@@TheButlerK9s I ran in as they were about to close (when we realized) and they were out of her size in all of them 😂😩 I figured hey, there’s a target right next door. I had no idea, she’s about 8 months and always gets really clingy and irritable around my period. So I was thinking it was that!!! You are right though, I wish I would’ve prepared and had atleast one diaper around even though we planned on spaying.
@@Gibby1919 it's crazy how different it is depending on the dog in terms of when they start. Juneau was over a year and I've known people whose dogs got it at 6 months! She does get super clingy and needy right before she goes into heat haha
@@TheButlerK9s Our first time with a puppy. I wasn't expecting this to happen so soon. Our GSD is only 6 months old and started this week. She is scared, confused and keeps wanting to hide under my son's bed and just whimpers. Wondering if any other pet parents have experienced this. I continue to show compassion & empathy and give lots of reassurement & love. Our Kali is having such a difficult time.
@@letsgo3755 Juneau's first time was tough too, they're just really confused. The don't understand why they are felling how they're feeling. It does get better ❤
🤦♂️How did we not think about liners???? Have a Golden pup that just went through her first heat. She will be desexed after she's 2 1/2 or 3 years old. So will be using liners going forward. Thank you.
I got diapers and have been trying to find one that would fit a docked tail for my doberman. Well...before I found a diaper that fit I saw her vulva was suddenly very swollen. Crap! Still a very helpful video. I think I'll use the suitical I have and use a pad inside. What about house with good sturdy fence? We made sure our fence was very reliable because of having dobes. Got my 3 year old male neutered just in time. So far no leaking at all and no smell. My first female dobe had her first heat like this too. She had no drainage for first heat and we got her spayed before 2nd heat. This pup (only just turned 7 months) will never be spayed.
I would take Juneau out in our yard with a fence during her heat, but never left her unattended in the yard. It's something I never do anyway, but definitely not when she's in heat.
I have a 7 month old pup and I've been really anxious about her first heat cycle (we're still waiting). These tips are so helpful and I'm a lot less anxious now. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, my mom called me and told me my dog had a really small blood drop, and sk ce its our first dog (specially female) we don't what to do, i will send her to the pet shop so that she can get her some diapers
Do you have any tips for the mood problems? My girl started her heat while I was away at work and I came home and she was absolutely terrified of me? (I was also bleeding) and she wouldn’t come to me she kept hiding and I felt horrible is this normal?
i have a question, basically i heard if u spay ur dog before she goes into heat she'll have a puppy personality forever, but when u wait until their first cycle is done then spay they have a more mature personality? because my dog is a big, energetic dog and i personally dont want a puppy personality forever, but my mom dosent want to deal with the cycles because shes like a "clean" person, and she dosent like messes at all. does anyone know the actual truth of this? if the puppy personality thing is true id rather just spaying her after her first cycle
Is it normal for them to cry hysterically? As if theyre in pain? My dog seriously has me worrried she keeps pacing, panting and crying like if she broke a bone or something but my mom says shes just in heat?
Every dog acts different but especially if it's their first heat, they don't really know why they're feeling how they are. If you're super concerned you can take them into the vet to make sure nothing is wrong.
I can imagine why self cleaning is important! But that leaves me with a question - what about a dog that cannot self-clean? I have a French bulldog girl starting her 1st heat, and most Frenchies are unable to self clean, they can't reach their hind end. I feel bad she has to miss out on doing what a dog is supposed to do! I guess we will just have to help her do what she can't do herself? :-\
This is a great video but I feel like this is more for making the owners lives easier, is there any tips, foods, drinks or snacks you can recommend to help the dog feel any better or make it easier for the dog that you can recommend?
It really depends on each dog and I'm not sure of the exact specifics. Juneau's heats normally lasted around 3 weeks start to finish. I played it safe the entire cycle. You can always check with your vet for more details.
My dog would tear through the diaper. Shes in heat first time now, i just put on my "Estres" sweat pants and let her hump away at my leg. she gets so tired and sleeps like she worked an 8 hour shift. The pants I wear at the dog park (on the other side of the fence) great fun. - I dont ever see blood.
My pup is 8 months and we just noticed she got her first heat. She is not humping anything but noticed she wants to be on my arms (cuddles) non-stop. Just overall very clingy, is this normal? 🥲 what other things can I do to make her feel better?
Hey there! Thanks for the video! We don't crate our pup at night anymore (haven't since she was housebroken) and I think reintroducing the crate during the night would just add to her stress - how much out-of-diaper time do you think is best? I was thinking maybe 20 minutes or so after each outside time so she can self-clean and all that before putting the diaper back on.
My grandaughters labradorite first time on heat she is acting strange when she wee as though she only does a drop then spins around we wondered if she could have a water infection do you have any idear never Finnish weeing thank you x
Great tips. My German Shepherd is in heat and only allowed the male to mate once. She is still bleeding and constantly backing up her rear to me with her tail curled as if she’s ready to mate again. Any suggestions?
@@sambur6480 honest question (i dont have dogs but curious) what's the behavior the dog is displaying? or what has Wanda, the original poster of the comment, done wrong?
@@asinegaasinega Breeding a bitch while she is bleeding. When the bitch is ready to breed she stops bleeding her vulva shrivels and she releases clear mucus. This is usually 2-4weeks after the onset of her estrus cycle. The bleeding is the uterine lining shedding in preparation for the heat cycle and fertility. Humans do it once a month dogs about twice a year.
Also the bitch will know. Mainly you shouldn’t backyard breed and be well versed on canine reproduction through hands on experience mediated by professional.
Took my girl in to get spayed and they said she was in heat already. 1 week later I havent seen any blood or any evidence other than a bit more panting and her being a bit more affectionate than usual. The vet had said they saw a bit of discharge and saw some other evidence during an exam. I haven't seen ANY discharge so really don't know what to think.
Could u let me know where u got ur diapers from? those are perfect. and good info i’m looking up preparing for this time, our pup is 8 months so will start the conditioning process for her! ty
If she's in heat she's never off leash in public areas and I don't take her out in public much at all. We exercise only in our fenced back yard or go on walks in our neighborhood. There are no loose dogs in our neighborhood but I'm always very vigilant anytime I am out with her in case there is.
I taught my dog to sit between my feet before her first cycle so that there is no access if we meet a male dog (I change my route during cycle so as not to meet otter dogs but it ocasionally happens). Apart from the two three days she is fertile and I have to keep her a wat, she sits as asked.
I guess it really depends, Juneau drips everwhere if she doesn't have a diaper on so depending on the dog and your home (i.e. carpet, furniture, etc.) you may want to use one
My Doberman has been demanding walks lately i think it may be the start of her first heat cycle, she seems swollen, ive been dreading it cos she seems to fancy big hairy dogs 😳 ive gotta manage this carefully, she may eat me if i dont take her out! She has been demanding her walks, like daddy i gotta go to the park, really i have to 🤦♂️ We will spay her when the time is right, ive always had male dogs and they go crazy when they smell a bitch on heat, avoiding them wont be easy, we have a garden but she wants out! Imbgonna try n buy some calming products and get through this 😬
You can definitely give them a bath, just keep in mind dogs skin and coats do better with minimal baths in general. They also do a good job of self cleaning during this time.
Thanks for the very informative video! Any tips for leaving the dog home alone? I work 5 days a week and usually leave my dog alone in the yard, I don’t want to leave her in the yard during her heat cycle as I’ve heard males can jump the fence, but I am concerned about her needing to go potty if I leave her in the house? Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
Males will definitely hop fences and females become escape artists too. I always crate my dogs when they are left alone. If they are over 8 months old, they can definitely hold it for at least 8 hours
@@TheButlerK9sthank you! 🤩 In case it wasn't obvious, this is all a bit new to me still (as of yesterday). Your video has been a big help and i plan to go shopping again today. Quick follow up question, plz & thx. The velcro & cloth, black & salmon colored doggy diaper you have in the video, what is that called? Washable / reusable doggy diaper? Thanks again.

Every dog acts different but especially if it's their first heat, they don't really know why they're feeling how they are. If you're super concerned you can take them into the vet to make sure nothing is wrong.
I can imagine why self cleaning is important! But that leaves me with a question - what about a dog that cannot self-clean? I have a French bulldog girl starting her 1st heat, and most Frenchies are unable to self clean, they can't reach their hind end. I feel bad she has to miss out on doing what a dog is supposed to do! I guess we will just have to help her do what she can't do herself? :-\
This is a great video but I feel like this is more for making the owners lives easier, is there any tips, foods, drinks or snacks you can recommend to help the dog feel any better or make it easier for the dog that you can recommend?
This is a question for a veterinarian
Thanks. Very helpful
Excellent video, thanks
Nothing says a good person more than eyes leaking of kindness. Thanks for your advice 👍🏼
Thank you so much 🥰
I love the tips! Thank you! How long does the bleeding last? When can my dog get pregnant? When she stops bleeding? This the first for us?
It really depends on each dog and I'm not sure of the exact specifics. Juneau's heats normally lasted around 3 weeks start to finish. I played it safe the entire cycle. You can always check with your vet for more details.
These are really great tips! Thank you ❤ would just love to know how much blood to expect from them? Is it same amount as humans?
Just like every person, every dog is different. For my dog, it was not a lot of blood.
My dog would tear through the diaper. Shes in heat first time now, i just put on my "Estres" sweat pants and let her hump away at my leg. she gets so tired and sleeps like she worked an 8 hour shift. The pants I wear at the dog park (on the other side of the fence) great fun. - I dont ever see blood.
Same with my girl
great info..well done
I have a service dog and she’s going into heat soon I think
What should I do to help her should I not do service dog stuff till she’s done or...No?
I can't really advise on this because Juneau isn't a service dog. It would probably be best to ask another service dog handler or group
My pup is 8 months and we just noticed she got her first heat. She is not humping anything but noticed she wants to be on my arms (cuddles) non-stop. Just overall very clingy, is this normal? 🥲 what other things can I do to make her feel better?
Thank you!
Hey there! Thanks for the video! We don't crate our pup at night anymore (haven't since she was housebroken) and I think reintroducing the crate during the night would just add to her stress - how much out-of-diaper time do you think is best? I was thinking maybe 20 minutes or so after each outside time so she can self-clean and all that before putting the diaper back on.
I really don't know since I crate my dogs. You may want to check with your vet and see what they advise.
Great ideas!
My grandaughters labradorite first time on heat she is acting strange when she wee as though she only does a drop then spins around we wondered if she could have a water infection do you have any idear never Finnish weeing thank you x
I can't advise on this, I would recommend you reach out to your vet if you're concerned.
When in heat female dogs urinate small amounts several times to leave their scent for male dogs
Ty...Ty...Ty!
Great tips. My German Shepherd is in heat and only allowed the male to mate once. She is still bleeding and constantly backing up her rear to me with her tail curled as if she’s ready to mate again. Any suggestions?
I recommend you speak with your vet
If you know this little about canine reproduction, you shouldn’t be breeding dogs.
@@sambur6480 honest question (i dont have dogs but curious) what's the behavior the dog is displaying? or what has Wanda, the original poster of the comment, done wrong?
@@asinegaasinega Breeding a bitch while she is bleeding. When the bitch is ready to breed she stops bleeding her vulva shrivels and she releases clear mucus. This is usually 2-4weeks after the onset of her estrus cycle. The bleeding is the uterine lining shedding in preparation for the heat cycle and fertility. Humans do it once a month dogs about twice a year.
Also the bitch will know. Mainly you shouldn’t backyard breed and be well versed on canine reproduction through hands on experience mediated by professional.
Took my girl in to get spayed and they said she was in heat already. 1 week later I havent seen any blood or any evidence other than a bit more panting and her being a bit more affectionate than usual. The vet had said they saw a bit of discharge and saw some other evidence during an exam. I haven't seen ANY discharge so really don't know what to think.
I have a very clean dog as well. No diapers needed and she can still lay on the couch. :)
Could u let me know where u got ur diapers from? those are perfect. and good info i’m looking up preparing for this time, our pup is 8 months so will start the conditioning process for her! ty
I'm glad it was helpful! I've got the diapers linked in the description of the video 😊
I have a female GS as well, 8 months so want to start diaper training before her first cycle, what diaper are you using? They seem east to put on.
They are linked in the description of the video 😊
Very good. Thank you🐾❤️
I am a little late to your video, may I ask the brand diaper you use? I have an 8 month Giant Schnauzer who is likely to start soon. Thanks!
The diapers I use are linked in the bio of the video! 😊
What size is her crate? I have a Doberhound and I have been wanting to downsize her crate (it's for Great Danes).
Her wire crate for the house is a 43 in
@@TheButlerK9s Thank you!
What brands of diapers are the best? Thank you!
I linked the ones I used the video description
I just bought puppy pampers.
Where did you get the washable diapers from?
Amazon! I have the ones I got/something similar linked in the bio of the video 😊
My dog just started her first heat cycle. Totally not ready. How much bleeding is there? Lol. She has done the odd drop so far.
It's really not to bad, but I think it does depend on the dog. In my experience it's pretty light. Dogs do a good job of keeping themselves clean
@@TheButlerK9s thanks for replying. So far it’s the odd drop.
My Auzy eats less and is very picky on what she eats. Yeah, def need to work all that energy out with exercise.
What if male dogs come up to your dog while exercising outside?
If she's in heat she's never off leash in public areas and I don't take her out in public much at all. We exercise only in our fenced back yard or go on walks in our neighborhood. There are no loose dogs in our neighborhood but I'm always very vigilant anytime I am out with her in case there is.
I taught my dog to sit between my feet before her first cycle so that there is no access if we meet a male dog (I change my route during cycle so as not to meet otter dogs but it ocasionally happens). Apart from the two three days she is fertile and I have to keep her a wat, she sits as asked.
Dude why I'm not ready for this
It's not that bad! Haha it gets better once you've gone through one
Link to where to buy this reusable diaper?
It's in the description
What size did you get?
I got the Large!
Do you have her wear diapers when walking her?
I did not, I considered walking her diaper free time. I didn't live in an area with a lot of loose dogs, so the walks were not a concern.
What size doggie diaper are you using?
Juneau wears a large in the type we have
hi!! quick question! what size diapers did you get your thanks!!
I got Juneau the large size 😊
do you need the diaper? I was just gonna try washing her blankets and let her clean herself
I guess it really depends, Juneau drips everwhere if she doesn't have a diaper on so depending on the dog and your home (i.e. carpet, furniture, etc.) you may want to use one
@UCLkAplLGbMpQu1QfVNIfOfA I would unless you plan to keep them confined to a specific area
good advice,,,,
My Doberman has been demanding walks lately i think it may be the start of her first heat cycle, she seems swollen, ive been dreading it cos she seems to fancy big hairy dogs 😳 ive gotta manage this carefully, she may eat me if i dont take her out! She has been demanding her walks, like daddy i gotta go to the park, really i have to 🤦♂️ We will spay her when the time is right, ive always had male dogs and they go crazy when they smell a bitch on heat, avoiding them wont be easy, we have a garden but she wants out! Imbgonna try n buy some calming products and get through this 😬
How about bath durring that period ?
You can definitely give them a bath, just keep in mind dogs skin and coats do better with minimal baths in general. They also do a good job of self cleaning during this time.
Thanks for the very informative video! Any tips for leaving the dog home alone? I work 5 days a week and usually leave my dog alone in the yard, I don’t want to leave her in the yard during her heat cycle as I’ve heard males can jump the fence, but I am concerned about her needing to go potty if I leave her in the house? Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
Males will definitely hop fences and females become escape artists too. I always crate my dogs when they are left alone. If they are over 8 months old, they can definitely hold it for at least 8 hours
Can dogs jump a 6 foot wood fence?
my dog just had her cycle omg im running lol she just turned 1
Do they get it monthly?
It's usually around every 6 months but it depends on the dog, sometimes it's more than 6 months in between
Once to twice a year depending on the breed
Is a panty liner a tampon? Like, something I'd buy froma human CVS store? lol thx :)
It is not a tampon but you would find panty liners in the same section as them at pharmacies and grocery stores :)
@@TheButlerK9sthank you! 🤩 In case it wasn't obvious, this is all a bit new to me still (as of yesterday). Your video has been a big help and i plan to go shopping again today.
Quick follow up question, plz & thx. The velcro & cloth, black & salmon colored doggy diaper you have in the video, what is that called?
Washable / reusable doggy diaper?
Thanks again. Definitely subscribed 👍
Nvm, i watched the video again and found the answer 🙄 (duh) thanks again 😇
@@chillphil967 No problem!! I'm glad the video has been helpful. I know I had no idea the first time and I wasn't finding a lot of helpful info online, so I wanted to make it a little easier on folks.
