How does it fit on? Are there velcro or snap closures, or must you actually stick the dog's legs through the holes?

Also, instead of the liners that you can buy for these diapers, I use poise adult liners. For me they work much better and absorb more than liners made for the diapers.

there are velcro straps, just like a disposable baby diaper. extremely easy to put on. we add a maxi pad to the inside for extra absorbancy but you don't have to. make sure to turn it inside out and attach velcro straps to velcro when you wash, so the velcro lasts for a long time...

it stays in place with velcro which is very strong and holds the diaper in place very well. You put the dogs tail through the opening and then it wraps around her waist.

The closures are Velcro. There is a tail hole; you pull the tail through, then pull up the one Velcro fastener around the leg, and then the other side. I have never been happier with a product, seriously. They wash easily. I do recommend a "pair and a spare" and have a backup pair to put on while washing the other. I got the first one a little smaller than I should, and got the next size larger the next time. I do use them both, though, and they have been an incredible blessing. Best wishes!

It fits snug! It's Velcro and you put it on like a human diaper, so no you don't have to put their legs trough it you put it on around their legs

Velcro. It is like putting a diaper on a child, except there is the tail-hole to guide placement.

They run large and have velcro.You do not need to stick dogs legs through holes. They are well made.

It is Velcro. If you have a clever puppy, they might be able to get out, so buyer beware.

No, It actually has two cloth legs(just like in the front) that cover the dogs legs leaving the rear end open.

No, it will not stay up. I tried teaching my Mini Aussie rescue how to "burrow in" by luring with tiny treats (and he's a smart lil pup, does great at agility and is incredibly fast @ figuring out the dog-puzzle stuff I give him) but no go. I ended up having to leave it mostly-unzipped, wait til he hops in, then come over and zip it up because he quickly falls asleep from the coziness around him. Planning to head to a craft store to find a way to Velcro-attach some sort of semi-rigid-but-flexible strap around the opening so he doesn't need to depend on me to get snuggled.

It does zip completely and snaps on the side. It's solid up top and has mesh on both sides so you can peek in or the pet can see out w/o poking his/her head out.

I just lay it down buckle side down and have the pups step in to the holes. Then pick up the flaps and Velcro them across the back. Finally snap the buckle. Hope this helps!

Velcro at neck and mid-way down the body, closer to front legs than back. My dog has always hated anything near his rear legs, so this is good and he is ok with it!!!

The smaller hole gets slipped over their head. Then you pick up the right leg and put it in that hole. Then you clasp the harness closed on the left side, behind that leg. Easy peasy. Once my dog became familiar with it, she would even wiggle her head in and throw her right leg at me. :)

Velcro and snap button. Its really not that difficult or cumbersome to release.

I have a 90# German Shepherd and bought a large. As others stated, the Velcro closure on top will determine the tightness of the fit. That is the only "adjustment". There are two click-close buckles as well but they are more for keeping the stress off the Velcro. It has a tendency to slip down the back of my dog and bunch up ---but that is due to her condition: deterioration of spine. I also find it a bit difficult to put on.

The trail hole has elastic all around . That might be enough to stop leaking from there. You could also pin it closed. The other problem area would be around the legs depending on how tight the fit on your dog is. Our escape on the sides. I think it may have to do more with when it happens; right at bedtime or early in the am. Still better than waking up and stepping in something

The velcro closure on this particular wrap allows for size versatility. My dog gets out of his diapers quite easily because he has no hips and a little narrow back where the diaper wrap worn. I have go to putting him in a baby's onsie and pinning the wrap to it just so he can't get out of it. I have 4 different styles of wraps given that I am trying to find the best one for him. I think that is the answer ~ try and try again as needed.

Yes, there is a velcro opening of about 2-3 inches that makes it easy to get on or off. It also has a handwarmer area on the back like human sweatshirts! Cute!!!

There are 2 velcro straps; one under the neck area and one under the belly. My dog has a very lean build so the fit under the neck is too big when I fasten it. I am going to extend the soft part of the velcro so it fits snugger. I really think for most dogs the fit would work just fine. I really like this coat a lot for my dog and he seems to like it as well. Its very easy to put on him and the fleece lining is great for warmth.

Hi Jane, we have this model and it closes with a zipper. As for "tie downs" I'm not sure what you are referring to but there is an attached lead in the carriage that you can hook your dog's collar to. We don't use that. All that being said we have a 30lb pitbull/french bull dog and this fits her perfectly. So this may be smaller than it seems in the description.

It's similar to a child's training underwear, with what appears to be a moisture resistant outer layer. It's a one piece moderately padded diaper with Velcro fasteners that attach around the dog's waist. There is no disposable diaper insert or no pad insert that fits into the diaper shell. I suppose it would have worked for our dog, if it had fit and she wasn't such a contortionist, adept at quickly wriggling out of it.

There are 2 openings that can be zipped closed. Enter thru the back then close the back screen. The front has 2 closures, a screen and then a clear plastic cover. There is also a leash inside so you essentially strap the dog in. Buy a harness and you're set. And lots of treats worked to train my girl!
