The diaper side panels are formed of elasticized material, and the bottom portion has an absorbent material attached to or formed in its inner, pet facing surface for absorbing and containing waste discharges from the pet. The diaper garment also preferably is provided with circumferential belting and shoulder-engaging suspenders to aid in snugly retaining the diaper on the animal in use.
