I used them on my dog after she had to get stitches and they kept her paw completely dry. And if the boots got muddy or wet, I just wiped them off after I took them off her feet. I thought they worked great!

Yes !!!! we live in a big city with lot's of snow, salt, mud and slush. I swear by them .

Yes, definitely would help. They are made of a strong rubber material so you need some strength to get them on but when they are on the stay put.

Definitely!! They are not fool proof because they tend to kick up everything but they definitely make life much easier!!

The great thing about Sloggers is the ease of slipping them on and off at the door -- no need to worry about mud being tracked in. Once the mud dries slapping the soles together would probably dislodge any dirt. I don't think I would worry -and certainly can't imagine washing them in my washing machine!

I would say it is worth a shot. I use the extra coarse on really bad areas and then wash my feet, cover them with EucErin from the tubs (extra thick) and I can't believe how much better my feet are. You will notice a differeeve after the first use and be pretty happy after several uses which become necessary less frequently.

No, I wouldn't. It's so easy to take out and put back in. They probably wouldn't do well getting washed over and over. I highly recommend these. At first they are a bit stiff but they will mold to the shape of your knee after a couple uses. I've been using the same pair everyday for a few years and haven't needed to replace them yet. They are a live saver on your knees. You won't regret them!

We used them on our old dog who had a very weak rear end. They made a huge difference. I think they would work well to keep your dog from slipping. The only drawback to having them on all the time is that do not breath. You may be able to help this by poking holes in the tops, or possibly switching up feet.

We recommend that you hang them up with the loop hook on the back of the shoe slipper and let the mud/dirt dry out. Once they are dry shake them out like a rug. This usually works better than washing them.

I think these boots would work well, as long as you fasten them securely. My dog wore them all winter long (in deep snow too) and we only lost one boot all season. I know it's probably because we didn't get that one on very securely. If you're only using on hind paws, you'll have two extra for backups.

Depends on what you are using it for. If it's for traction they aren't very good. There isn't enough rubber on the bottom to help. Plus they constantly turn on the paws. I guess for just protection they aren't too bad. Didn't work for my old shiba inu who has slipping problems on ceramic tiles. Hope this helps

I've used them in my house, which is carpeted. Think of them as... wearing a regular pair of gym shoes. Only Boots that bounce. For grass, haha, make sure you're not like me... You Need To Have The Physical Leg Strength to use them there. It's much more of a Strength Exercise in the grass. Good Luck & Enjoy!I've also used them outside, taking dog for a "Jog Walk". hahaha. & Used them on my wood deck. "Think.... Massive Bounce Gym Shoes"!Hope this helps.

Mine came new I'm not sure why you would think they weren't. The quality isn't for everyone. They are for home/light use and I suggest for smaller dogs for training. If you have larger dogs or are planning on a higher use I would direct you to get more professional equipment. I'm running a Pomeranian through them and I know if I wear one out (which would take me awhile) at that price I would just replace it with another. We are extremely happy for the price.

Yes I would say so. I've never really gone out in deep mud, but they seem supportive enough. Then you can hose them down afterwards, to get the mud off. They aren't real high, probably up to the back of my calf.

Dianna, They will keep the dogs' feet dry, but the boots are really nothing more than thick balloons. My dog had surgery on his paw, so these were the best choice for him, just to keep his foot dry and clean. They will keep the snow off their feet, but if you're looking for something more permanent, I'd go with a"real" pair of winter boots for your pup. Hope this info helps.

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 think it depends on the ground you put them in and how hard core your dogs dig. I used them next to a driveway into Georgia clay and feel confident that they'd handle some serious attempts to dig them out. My husky wouldn't get them out easily, though if she got it into her head to do it she probably could. They are nice and long and go fairly deep into the ground. For the price it's probably worth trying them out, and you get a lot of them.

Not really. It is thick and therefore your toe catchs on the corners as you walk over it. It is great to put a wet dirty dog on. So they can dry out.

Absolutely! You will need to wet them for cleaning purposes. They are soft so great for that purpose.

I would use the large Paw Wash. If you have any problems please contact me at katie@thepawwash.com and I would be more than happy to help!
