Hi all
I just purchased a belly band today, since Louie hasn't stop marking eventhough I got him neutered. My question is, How do you put a belly band if the baby have a really long hair? Is there anyway of gathering the hair so it doesn't get peed on?

Can you say how long is long? Maybe you can pull the hair into little bands? I'm sure many cut the body hair

I would shave the area under the belly band. But leave the long side hairs hang down.

There is no hair under his belly, the hair is on his body. When I put on the band, the hair get put inside in the band.

When my Gizmo is sporting full length hair i just pull the hair horizontally alongside the body and wrap the band around. But most of the time i have his hair cut shorter in that area.

I usually just do one or two pony tails along his back with the hair in that area. I gather it all up on top of his back in a band, then put the belly band on.

I always keep my boy in a shorter cut...not shaved though, I just trim it myself with scissors. He wears a belly band 99% of the time and if his hair is long, it always becomes a tangled mess with the belly band on

I'd love him to have a longer coat like my little girl, but for us, it just doesn't work with the belly band.
