Can these be used on dogs who chew their feet due to allergies or OCD?

I'm a new customer, so this is just my opinion, but they are very similar to a balloon material-wise and shouldn't bother the dog. They may try to chew on them though and I don't think that would be good because the first pair I used started to tear from toenails after the second use...so I would worry that the dog may chew through them and swallow the material. If the dog wouldn't chew the material, they may work great for you.

I used the booties on my Boxer who was losing use of her hind legs . She like having them on on floors as they gave her stability. I did notice that if left on for several days that moisture developed inside. I would suggest removing them for a period of time each day to avoid making your dogs problems worse. I found that they were quite secure on my dog and required a bit of a tug to get on and to get off which I thought was a good thing. Also check your dogs diet. Good luck.

I am afraid I wouldn't use them for any purpose. The top band of the boot is so tight that it constricts blood flow to the paw that could cause irreparable harm.

These are a rubber, like a heavy balloon. They are a choking hazard if the dog chews them.

I do not believe these would prevent the dog from chewing, when My dog did have something bothering him, he did pull it off. Sounds like medicine is needed. Good Luck

I think that it would be fine. If your dog loves these as much as mine, it will not take long and they disappear! They have no smell and make no mess that I am aware of.

No, I just checked the label and it clearly states "For Dog Use Only." I'd suggest TicTacs or Altoids to help with your problem. :-) j/k! If you need more info, I can take a pic of the label/instructions and email that to you. Take care!

Not that I know of, but they may be used as an ingredient in some of the foods. So I am uncertain but if you're allergic I would investigate further.

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 so- they are airtight so they don't allow smells to escape. A rodent could chew through- but would have to be persistent and have a reason to- without the smell I think you're safe.

Technically, yes. They'll work just the same--I've never chewed one up but I have bitten them for a smaller dose with no ill effects. They are uncoated, though, and it won't taste good. DISCLAIMER: Not a medical professional, just another shopper going by personal experience.

its difficult to say yes or no - I would default to no as they did not work out for my Jack Russell- he hated them and chewed them off quite easily. I live in the city and have yet to see a dog walking with boots that still has all 4 of them - they sound like a great idea but I'm not sure they are quite there yet

I doubt it but I bought them to keep my dog from slipping on the hardwood floor after surgery. They worked great for that purpose but he didn't really care to wear them.

It might work. If he is licking the nail, though, he might just chew it off. It takes a bit of glue. I also cut them down a bit so my dog' s fur does not get caught in the glue. It might be worth a try if you need some protection for that nail...Hope this helps a bit.

I gave them to my German Shepard mix, no problem. I had originally bought them for my 3 lb chichuana but her teeth were to delicate to chew them. If they get too small you could remove them from dog but my German... Eats the whole thing.

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.

Not that I am aware of, my dog is allergic to everything and she did great with them.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question because my dog, a Chihuhua, did not tolerate them at ALL on her feet. She never made it out of the house with them. They became her chew toys, lol.

I don't know if they are dangerous to pets. But, we have 2 Min. Schnauzers and one is a puppy. Neither of them have ever shown any interest in chewing the mat. Hope this helpful.

I don't see why not, if you know what their temp is suppose to be. Check with your vet.

My dog ate them at first but then started spitting them out so I hide them in treats. I still use this brand because my vet highly recommends them
