are these slippery? We have to use them on our hard wood floors. Would they be a slipping hazard for us our our elderly dog?

They tend to be slippery for me and I am in my seventies. To fix this I bouught several very cheap throw rugs from walmart and lay the pads on top of these rugs. Works perfectly.

They are very good at what they do. They have a plastic backing on them. You need a pad holder, then cut some pieces off a rug pad and glue onto the bottom of the pad holder. That should help to stop any slipping on your wood floors.

The pads do not slip, though I have linoleum/vinyl flooring. Your dog should be fine. I've used pads successfully for a couple years for my 3 dogs and will continue to use them. Just don't walk on them yourself.

No. We have not experienced that problem and ours are placed on a hardwood floor

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.

They roll very nice on hard wood floors. If your floors are very nice I would not use it on a hard wood floor without some kind of protection. Over time I think they would scratch.

No they do not get slippery because they have some texture. They were a very good investment and I would purchase them again.

My chairs are on hardwood but I just sat on one while it was half on carpet, half on hardwood and I am guessing that they will not slide off. You hammer them into the bottom of the chair, they seem very secure. So far, I love this product especially after years of using the stick on kind that don't stay put over time.

There are no treads to speak of - the steps are covered with a thin carpeting. I have a 32 lb dog that negotiates them no problem, no slipping at all on the steps. The only thing I would recommend is if your floors are wood, you need to get some rubber adhesive feet to put on the bottom of the legs and steps. Its smooth so if you have wood on wood they whole thing will move as the dog goes up and down. If you have carpeting you're fine as is. If not, a couple of bucks at your local hardware store will stop the sliding.

I never had a problem with them slipping at all. Mine are stacked on my desk and have a little lip that sort of locks together. I love them.

We have had no slipping on the tile floors we come in contact with. They are absolutely marvelous. The only time we have had a slip is if it encountered a bit of dog hair on the floor (from our new long haired dog.)

I use these on my top of my wood cutting board and on my formica countertops. No slipping issues at all.

They may be okay on something like indoor/outdoor carpet. These sliders are fairly low profile. I just tried it on the only rug we have, a tight wool rug. It seemed too work okay.

They have a sole that is like most bedroom slippers. I think it would still slide on hard wood floors though. My kids have not had any problems with them and have really enjoyed them.

We have wood floors too. It doesn't seem to be a problem for us at all, but I have considered butting some on just in case.

I honestly do not know because the ones I have are either on a rug and/or hardwood floors. I love them...the suction on the bottom really holds them secure and still. Sorry, I couldn't help.

They are adjustable in height. To keep them from sliding on my wood floor, I put rubber furniture pads under each one which works well

No, the bottom feet of the stool that rest on the floor are bare wood. We haven't had any problems with the stool slipping on hard wood floors at the bathroom sink or kitchen counters.

Whenever I walked onto my linoleum or wooden floors with them, I almost fell because they were so slippery. Mine actually came with a warning label that they were only for use on carpet because of that- and they were right!

Ehh, probably not wood floors. These are kind of big for regular chair legs, too. I use them for under sofa legs on carpet. Your best best would be felt on wood floors. For sound purposes too. I am sensitive because my apartment is under some people who don't have felt pads. People don't just slide chairs like you would assume - They pick them up and slam them beck down on the floor. If you want hard plastic glides and no one lives below you, then I would at least recommend smaller versions of these.
