ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device and garment for use by small animals of both sexes to absorb and collect body waste fluids is disclosed. The device includes an outer garment which has a waist aperture for fitting around the body of a small animal, a pair of leg apertures for fitting around the legs of the animal, and a tail aperture. The waist aperture and the leg apertures include a resilient material or band for assuring that the apertures fit snugly around the animal's body and legs respectively. The tail aperture is particularly located and of such a size that the anal opening of the animal is not covered. The outer garment further includes a first portion of an attaching means such as a snap or "Velcro" fastener at a first location which is adjacent the tail aperture and in between the leg apertures. Also included is another first portion of an attaching means located adjacent the waist aperture. A disposable pad is fitted within the outer garment as an absorbent layer and a liquid impervious layer. A second portion of an attaching means which cooperates with either of the first portions on the garment is used to hold the disposable pad in a first location. When placed in the first position, an attaching edge is adjacent the tail aperture, and a free edge is directed toward the waist aperture. In this position, the garment and disposable pad are particularly suitable for collecting the urine and esters discharge of a female animal. Alternatively, the disposable pad may be located with the second portion of the attaching means connected to the second first portion such that the free edge is directed towards the tail aperture and the attaching edge is adjacent the waist aperture. In this position, the outer garment and disposable pad are particularly suitable for collecting and absorbing the urine discharge of a male animal.
