Yes, protect Cookie’s belly from contact with the Wandering Jew which seems to be causing a reaction on her skin.
I’d be cool with clothing, as long as
– it stays on
– doesn’t get caught on everything
– covers the areas while allowing to pee and poo normally
I did contact the place, I don’t think winter suit would work in the summer? I explained to them what I wanted, first they directed me to belly bands (not enough coverage and likely would travel); then incontinence panties (covers the wrong area LOL) and then dog shorts and trunks

The representative says would cover belly and thighs while letting the dog to eliminate. Unfortunately, there is now “bottom” view (either photo or schematic) to show what is and what isn’t covered down there. Also doesn’t say whether there are different ones for male or female dogs. If unisex, probably quite a bit of the belly would need to be exposed …?
She’s getting a reaction only on the belly, groin and thighs – areas with less fur. The rest of the body doesn’t have a reaction. So that’s the areas I need to try to protect.
We played and did some training games etc and she was eager for her treats. Then she went to sleep. Later, when I’m making her breakfast she typically comes over for a treat. She didn’t. I brought one to her and she didn’t want it. I could see from her face and the way she was acting her stomach was upset. I just could tell. Some minimal lip licking, no drooling (Jasmine would always drool when her belly was upset). This was just the facial expression, the grimasse of the mouth, the way she was overall.
At first I was worried the pancreatitis was coming back. Then I remembered that last time she was outside she appeared to had been chewing on something. But there was nothing in that area. I went to look. There was some digging and some disturbed roots. Wasn’t clear whether from the digging or whether she ate some.
Worried I went online trying to figure out what plant could the roots be of. Found out that most likely from bittersweet nightshade. Was so worried that I ended up calling Poison Hotline. And then, couple hours later she looked fine again.
