Will these work to keep an old dog from slipping on a tile floor? And can they stay on feet for a week?

I have used these for my larger canine and they worked fine when he needed to go outside into the snow - we have tile on our kitchen flooring which is right by the front door and he did not slip coming into the home. These items are difficult to remove just as difficult as they are to put on because they are tight. With that being said, I would consider the possible damage it can do to circulation having them on for that long period of time; just my opinion.

I have not tested this product, as I was unable to negotiate getting it on to any one of my miniature poodle's paws. It is a real challenge to stretch this balloon-like sock enough to pull it over a paw, unless your furry friend is either wiped out or knocked out. Once on, I suppose it could offer some traction on a slippery surface, but I do not think it would be wise to leave it on the foot 24/7. The unbreathable rubber may present an unhealthy environment.

I don't think so. They are difficult to get on and are pretty much the same the same as a balloon.

They may work to help dog from slipping if u put the word side down so it works as a gripper but as far as leaving them on for anymore time then a short walk outside you should probably not. Think about putting a ballon on your Dogs feet the part that is the opening is very tight and I think most dogs will try to chew it off. The only way my dog -puppy allows us to put them on is because he knows we will not take him for his outside walk in the rain or snow without this boots but as soon as we get in house he starts to try to chew them off.

yes, they stop from slipping on floor but they fit really tight around the dogs paws so I worry with my dog that they are cutting off her circulation. I personally only put them on when I'm taking her out for a walk no longer than 40 mins.

They last about 4 weeks on our dog. We check each week and replace ones that have fallen off. It has been a huge savings to our wood floor.

I don't really know. They didn't stay on my dog's feet. Just fell off so I gave them to a shelter, which is using them, I'm told, on the feet of a puppy mill rescue dog whose feet are in bad shape. So, if they stay on, they'd probably be good for indoor use.

My lab could use these steps. She weighed more than your dog and she had back problems and her knees were bad in back legs. The only issue is that the plastic of the steps is slippery. So I would suggest gluing some carpet on the steps.

Yes! Very flat, they slide on tile easily. Recommend adherening it to the floor or use over carpet.

Ultra Paws makes a Traction Boot for slippery floors that Amazon carries.http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gTXDNklGL.jpg

As long as they are bigger than the openings in the wire, they should be secure. My little dog doesn't jump over, and my friend's cats don't either.

Yes. We use them on hard wood floors as well as tile floors in the utility room. The weight of the items will usually stop all movement and I mean all movement.

I found the carpet treads to be very sticky. They have been a great help to my old dog who was slipping and falling.

I have a old Golden, and these made a huge difference. I though she would mind having them on, but she walks around with them and doesn't even notice them. They do make her look like she has duck feet, but she doesn't slip on the floor anymore.

I used them on wood, they stick very well, so I think if the tiles are clean and flat it should not be a problem. We have two dog running up and down the stairs without an issue. Good luck.

i got them for my pom and she was still under 5lbs and they was to big for her and would not stay on her feet no matter what i done. hope this helped

Yes, but I wouldn't. their feet could get caught in the grid, if you dog doesn't like the "grass" use it with the pad only. I love this product my dog has used it daily for 3 1/2 yrs it's wonderful no leakage on the floor ever! hope this helps

I believe they would fit loosely, but unless you are walking on something sticky/grabby they would stay on.

The booties go up to the bend in her legs. She (12 years old and hip dysplasia) has not trouble wearing them. I have notice over time her confidence and balance walking on the tile is better. I am very happy with this product and would recommend if you have a dog with issues of slipping on slippery floors.

Hi yes they are solid and will stay in place.Even have carpet like anti slip pads that are on the steps to prevent the dogs from slipping.The stairs will hold your dogs weight.Highly recommend this product!!

i believe so. they work great on tile floors and have a soft cushiony side which makes them easy to slide on the floor to move the furniture around.
