When wrapping a belly band, how should the layers be placed?

When wrapping a belly band, the layers should overlap slightly as they are wrapped around the abdomen. This method ensures that the band is secure and provides adequate support without being too tight or causing discomfort. Slight overlapping allows for flexibility and adjustability, which helps accommodate the shape of the animal's body and the amount of pressure applied.

Completely overlapping each layer could lead to excessive tightness, restricting movement and potentially causing harm or discomfort to the animal. Wrapping without overlapping does not provide the necessary security or support; the band may not stay in place effectively. Only securing at the ends would fail to provide continuous support along the length of the band, making it less effective for its intended purpose. Thus, the technique of slight overlapping strikes a balance between support and comfort.
