Ranga Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We have recently laid a floating bamboo floor, and as much as I love it, the dogs are finding it a challenge In particular, Archie, our Standard Schnauzer. So, I wondered whether non slip socks would work. Can anyone suggest a type or brand which would work? Thanks in advance :) Gratuitous doggy photo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 You can get some stuff that you spray on their paws to stop them slip. Not sure what the name is but it is readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 When my old girl's back legs were going she struggled on our tiles so we put mats down and I bought a product called Cherry Knoll's Sure Foot. It's like a balm that you rub on the paw pads. I applied it 2-3 times a day and it was excellent. I bought it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I have wooden floors and the dogs slip on them especially if we have has a heap of dry sunny days and the floor is very clean. I also found that trimming the hair right back between their pads so none of it touches the floor helps. So does having a grubby floor :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Google 'Toe Grips'. In the past we have tried many things without success from sprays to socks to boots. Rugs with no slip backings are going to be the safest bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCharlie Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Toe Grips There is an Aus supplier that we get ours from. Would have to check with Tailwag who it is though as she uses them for her older dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I had an old dog who sometimes dragged her toes and hurt them. I bought baby socks with the grip stuff on them. She didn't like them but it resolved the issue for that last year of her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheena Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I am thinking of getting some baby socks for my girl for when I am inside training with her. I am thinking it may help prevent my losing skin off the back of my hands when she affectionaly paws me. The skin on the backs of my hands is so thin & will only get worst with age I might be able to get her to wear them when she is out in public in places where old people are likely to stop & pat her. She just loves to offer her paw.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I had a search on the Toe Grip site and they can be bought at The Vet Store Online http://www.vetstoreonline.com.au/-dr-buzbys-toegrips-for-dogs-277/#tab3 They do list their Surgery Contact Details as 2394 Plenty Rd Whittlesea VIC 3757 I may get a set for Penny as she has had her ACL replaced recently and I want her to be confident on her feet. I have emailed them to ask how much the postage is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
