DOK TigerToes Premium Non-Slip Dog Socks for Hardwood Floors – Extra-Thick Grip That Works Even When Twisted – Prevents Licking, Slipping, and Great for Dog Paw Protection (Sassy Pink, Large)

Turned back time
My 17 year old Cockapoo has gradually lost muscle tone in her back legs and began slipping on smooth floors. We added area rugs and have been carrying her around the house more and more for the last few years to help her get around. Inevitably, she lost more muscle tone and being bored, began to sleep most of the day away. Occasionally, she even got “stuck” on the tile floor, unable to stand up to move until we found her which was very distressing for all of us.These socks work like a charm. I wish I found them sooner. They give her the extra traction she needs to move about freely. I was hoping that at best, they might help us to avoid an injury from slipping and help her to get up when she gets stuck. I didn’t expect that her new found freedom would restore her confidence and encourage her to move more. She is once again following the family from room to room, getting up to look outside to see what’s going on, and climbing the steps with ease. She’s no longer bored, sleeping all of the time (ok, she still sleeps a lot, she is 17 after all) and generally disinterested in life. She’s back to being our curious little shadow that is happy just to be near us. I hope to see some of her muscle tone come back, but for now, I’m just glad that she’s visibly happier and more energetic.The small size was perfect for her. We tried these on all 4 feet, but found she only needs them on her back 2 legs which will help extend the time before we need to replace them. We do not let her wear them outside, so they have not shown any signs of wear and tear yet. Since we can rotate the pairs, we have washed and dried them several time without shrinking or damaging the tread. The Velcro is tightly sewn onto the sock so it does not get lost in the wash.Putting them on took a few tries, but once you figure it out, it’s easy. I was pleased to see that they do not have any loose threads inside the socks that would snag her toes. I put them on like you would pantyhose (if you can remember those). Roll down the top as far as you can and then use both thumbs to spread the sock open and slide their foot inside. Once on, pull the toe portion out a little and spread out their toes to make sure they have wiggle room. We have been able to just barely close the Velcro around her ankle without them falling off because they do have some elasticity to them which helps keep them on her foot. This way, I don’t have to worry about them being uncomfortably tight around her ankle. Your dog’s activity level may necessitate tightening the Velcro to keep them secure.They have not twisted on her foot, but if they did, the tread wraps almost all of the way around which would help give her traction. Consider that when comparing these to other brands that only have traction on one side of the sock.I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. It’s so good to see her up and about again. I missed my shadow!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND (Best we’ve found by far)
Our pit was a rescue who is going on about 10 years old. Over the years she has become increasinglysensitive to the brutal winters we get. (She had a really rough couple years before we got her.)I’ve spent a lot of time, money, and frustration trying to find something that works each season, and these have been the best and most functional by far.Pros:-They are easy to put on.-They actually stay on (unlike the other ones we have tried that get flicked off outside, and have to be hunted down)-The rubber on them has good coverage no matter if they rotate.-Higher leg coverage than any other brand.-She has full mobility and doesn’t awkwardly prance like she has with other brands.-Sizing and Fit are perfect.Cons:-None really. The cotton gets wet on slushy days, but that’s to be expected.Overall we’ll see how they hold up. They feel sturdy and even if they only last a season or two I will definitely purchase again and recommend to friends and family.

Lo practico que es para no estar lavando las patitas de mi perra

Love it, It has helped my senior dog have more traction on tiled floors. It has helped immensely, it rotates and spins but has managed to stay on and yet still be effective.A bit of feedback about the velcro, I just wish it used more modern velcro and some threading of the strap has come loose.
