My dog skids when he stops. Will this ruin the bottom of the boots? He is just cutting up his paws so I want something to stop that.

Over the course of time it will however they are durable. It took a month of wearing on each daily walk to get a hole. In my opinion this was better than his nails bleeding and him not going on his walk . I will just buy more as I need.

eventually. they did start to wear out the coating on the toes and bottoms in about 6 weeks of walking several times a day on a dirt road. the inner liner was still there but it would probably wear as well.

Based on my experience, no. The bottoms are made from a textured durable material.

I sprayed 3 coats of Performix on the back of stair tread rugs and it did not keep them from slipping. If you go to the internet and type in"Utube Perfect rubber sole for crochet slippers" you will see how others are putting a rubber sole on bottom of handmade slippers.

They aren't slippery. They are well-made. I had trouble fitting my elderly dog--her feet are splayed, but she's only medium size & the boots that fit her feet were too large on leg. I had luck with Protex Pawz reusable boots. They are like little balloons that fit on feet. They give protection, traction & are much less expensive. You might check them out.

I have an asphalt walkway, my advice is sprinkle it on a small section and see the results. This product is for the safety of the animal paws, if you care about the effects on the paws, this why the product should be used. When walking my Boston Terrier in the street, I had to carry her home as she was limping due to the salt and whatever mixture the town uses that burns her paws.

All this Krylon "non-Skid" paint is is paint with grit in it. Like sand in paint. I would think the grit would wear off the bottom of the shoes in time. It would also depend upon what type of soles, rubber or leather. I don't think I would trust it over time. As a suggestion "Non Skid" Bath Tub strips may work better.

Probably not. I learned a trick from a trainer: whenever a dog jumps at you, hold his both paws longer than he is comfortable with, say... a minute. Dogs don't like to be constrained. After some jumps, they associate jumping with being held still by the paws, and stop doing it. If does not work, I would ask a trainer, or a vet. SPCA has great free suggestions for training dogs out of bad habits. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If you purchase the correct size (go to the Comfy Cone website to see how to properly measure) your dog should not be able to reach anything - including its paws. I bought mine for my Black Lab who has issues with his paws and it stopped his constant licking. Good Luck!

I use it on my Great Danes feet and as long as you put it on her feet right before you go out it repels its like putting Chapstick on dont need clean up you will need to reapply it weekly or monthly depends on how cold or hot ground or surface they are on love it works awesome for me try to put boots on a 146 lb dane just doesn't work lol

I have a 12lb Peke/pug mix. She's pretty crazy when she runs up the stairs, and often manages to budge them a bit. It's never stopped her, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone whose dog would be deterred by a little skidding.

I don't know if I would use socks under these booties. I'd be concerned about chafing and making the dog unwilling to wear them. I think I would try a medium with the sock to be sure you could make it really snug without being too tight, but the dog might be able to kick the booties off. Good luck!

Probably would feel good and protect the toe. I've only used this product to protect my dog's paws from ice, snow. , and ice melting salt. It works great for that purpose. It's a great protectorant so it just might help your puppy. Heck, it's worth a try .

yes if he dos not like them, he will get them off. I think that goes for any dog boots though, at least in my experience. Because i've tried them all.... either my dog is more talented than most or dog boots just aren't made for uncooperative dogs

No. And I discontinued it for my dog who is now walking after a year. If your animal is dragging their back legs, it does well to protect them from patio or rug burns on their back paws.

Mine hasn't worn hers outside of the house yet. Then again, hers falls off due to her small chicken legs. Lol. She's 8lbs but her ankles are so skinny. If they stay on your dogs paws, i'd give it a try outside as long as they aren't TOO rough (like blacktop or cement which i think grass should be fine though bc i personally think the socks do feel durable too).

I would use the same ones I bought, the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. My dog drags his hind paws too which makes the tip of the boots wear down so I bought the shoe goo to help protect them. I hope this helps you out.

I would ask your Vet. They may protect from sharp or rough item where she walks, but some of the comments indicated irritation caused by the boots. My dog did not experience any problem with the boots (120 pound German Shepard). I would be careful with the measurements - the ones I purchased I sized for Forrest's front paws (significantly larger than the rear). The straps allowed the rear to hold on OK. Dave

I think it depends on the dog and the fit. When in doubt put some vet wrap around the leg before you put the boots on, and then tape them to the vet wrap. That would be an insurance policy to not lose the boot until spring. ;-)
