We have a beagle who is having surgery on a toe on her front paw. Would she be able to reach the toe with this?

just like the description states, your safe bet is to go larger in size. My pooch is small with long limbs. Getting one size bigger helped but if left alone for extended period, he would of got to his front paw. It definitely doesn't have the coverage of a cone but it helps deter.

My dog is not a "digger" but the covering seems to be quite tough. He's jumped on it paws first several times while chasing a ball that was thrown near the bed and done no damage so far (my boy is a 70lb Border Collie and he is VERY active). It would take a real effort and some very sharp claws to penetrate the thing. I don't really see much of a chance of your girl pawing a hole in it. Biting would be a bigger worry as teeth could probably make it through the cover with continuous effort.

i think so, just make sure you measure their paw size...the boot doesn't go that high up the leg....

I would say yes, they would soften the claw. You do need to rove and let nail breath, just like our nails so the dog does not get fungus. They have kept my dogs claws from scratching my daughters wood floors.

Hello, First I wanted to tell you I sent it back almost as soon as I got it. The reason was that its size is bigger than normal. If you are looking for something to help with hip dysplesia, and your dog is still able to walk, I recommend starting him/her on flexicose plus and take a look at the link I'm including this brace is awesome! http://orthodog.com/

Yes, it certainly could, but you must be willing to have the collar on a lot, and correct the pup with a good yank every time she nips. It may take days to weeks of yanks on the little darling before she finally gets it.

Thanks for the information. I don't think she'd be able to get into it, since it looks like you need to get a grip on the indentations that make the 'handle' of the lid. The container she got into previously had a latch that had a good place for her to grip with paw and claws.

I don't think so but it would depend on the size of the dog. The collar seems to work best for keeping the dog away from stitches on back legs and abdomens. I would be afraid a front paw could reach over the collar and scratch the eye. Sorry not to be able to offer encouragement because I know the big cones can be a misery for both dog and the caretaker.

I have a 60 lb golden and it works well for us. I hold the dew claw when inserting her paw to avoid harm. The rubber squeegee does come off as other reviewers have stated, but I just hold it in place while pulling out the paw so it's not a problem. My dog actually enjoys the process as long as I use warm water in chilly months.

Um...it's not perfect unless it be taped around a toe or a figure. This product may not be the best for your needs...sorry it :(

I think it would make it more difficult, but I also think he/she might still be able to lick the front paw area. You would probably be better off with an Elizabethan collar which extends out below the chin.

Yes. You do have to pick up the paw just a little to guide it into the leg openings. Then it slides on and up easily. I have a lot of these and love them. Very comfortable and easy to clean.

It might... I've got a mini-schnauzer, and she can rest her head down on hers, but she can't do anything with her back legs and her head. I got hers for when she's spayed, and she won't be able to reach her abdomen- if that helps :/

Im sorry..i cant answer your question..i have a rabbit!But the windows are mesh..so i would assume if a dog got a toe nail caught in the netting ..he could rip it...but i do like the zipper floor ! It does keep a pet from escaping out the bottom! So other models have small velcro tabs that hold their bottoms on..this brand is more secure.Im sure this would be ok For your pup...other people reccommend these soft sided pens for their pets.. i use this for my house bunny when i leave him at my bunny sitter.

We bought ours to keep a Westie enclosed while he recovered from knee surgery so I am probably not qualified to advise you. But, it seems to me that baby is some kind of strong if he or she can climb over the top. I am surprised it doesn't get tipped over. If you got some strong canvas like material and stitched it into the inside of the pen with strong yarn across the top and bottom it might make the sides so slick he or she could not get a grip. I sort of think you child may be too big and well coordinated for this type of pen if he climbs out of it. Our dog uses psychological war fare.....sad pleading eyes that make us given in and let him out! I would rather have my problem than yours.

Depends. My maltese cannot but my lab could. Also depends an the shape used whrn you set it ip.up. You could put something heavy on or over it to help with tissue.the issue.

It is easy to take off and on and works very well. I'm not sure about the discomfort level due to surgery. My dog uses it due to arthritis.
