Nails Can’t Grip a Hard Floor
A dog grips with its nails.

Will they actually stay on?
Yes, for 2 to 4 days indoors on a clean, dry paw. Wet grass shortens that. Each box holds 5 full changes, so there’s always a fresh set ready.
My dog won’t tolerate anything on their paws. Will they wear these?
Unlike boots or socks, there’s nothing to grab. No straps, nothing around the leg. Most dogs forget they’re wearing them within minutes.
Which size should I get?
Measure the widest part of the main paw pad, check the size guide, and if you’re between sizes, go up one.
Does taking them off hurt or pull fur?
Soak the paw in warm water until the pad loosens, then ease it away. No peeling, no pulling.
How fast will it arrive?
Free shipping, 3 to 5 business days. Or $7.99 express, 1 to 3 business days.

What changes when your dog can grip again
“She is literally running around the house again like a puppy.”

The Hesitating Stops
A dog who slips on the floor starts avoiding it.
Once their feet hold, your dog follows you from room to room again.
“He normally pulls anything we put on him off (like grippy socks) but these did not bother him at all!”

Nothing for Them to Fight
Boots and socks give a dog something to grab and chew.
These stick flat under the paw, so there's nothing to get hold of.
“As soon as we popped them on him his been back on his feet and confidently strutting around like it’s 2015.”
Simone A.16-year-old Shih Tzu x Chihuahua with arthritis

Made for Weak Back Legs
Vets and rehab clinics suggest them for dogs with arthritis or after surgery.
Weak legs slip less when the paw can grip.
On in Seconds, Off With Water
A set goes on in seconds.
It comes off with a bowl of water, so you never pull a dry pad off their fur.

For years we struggled to find a good option. Tried the toenail grabbers, didn’t work, tried actual grippy socks, he hated them, same with little shoes. He doesn’t even mind these
It’s so beautiful to see our 11.5 year old English Cream be able to easily get up off our slick floors with the assist of the grip of the pads that give her great traction.
The biggest difference is that they’ve stopped her back legs from slipping and giving way on our tiled floors. At 12 years young, she’s now able to walk around the house with much more confidence and stability.
She still walked gingerly a few days but within a week her self confidence has come back. It’s so wonderful seeing our old precious one walking without trepidation.
We bought these for our 15 y/o Australian Labradoodle, and put them on her back paws while she was asleep. She never even acknowledged them.
As soon they were on my frenchie paws, there were no more slipperiness. They held on his paws for a bit over a week. He barely even notice he had them on.
We have tried area rugs, grip socks, and shoes but those are inconvenient. Using the paw pad protectors has given him the confidence and stability to move freely on different surfaces and they are easy to use.
These worked very well for our boxer that has degenerative myelopathy. Will purchase again!
This is a girl who can’t walk in doggie socks and these pads don’t bother her AT ALL, I don’t think she has even noticed them.
These paw pads have been a game changer for my 16.5 year old boxer mix! She walks with more confidence and doesn’t slip on our hardwood floors anymore. It has improved her quality of life.
My lab has struggled for years after we renovated and put down a hardwood floor. She slipped constantly and was always hurting herself when she’d get excited and run through the house. I ordered these Paw Protectors and WOW, what a game changer!!
Sally was starting to have trouble with her feet slipping and sliding. I saw these amazing paw grips and decided to give them a try. Well, my little girl is trotting all over the place and staying upright.
We tried area rugs, grip socks, and shoes but those are inconvenient.
Better than expected!! Great quality. Super adjustable, and easy to put on our senior dog.
Questions, answered
Can my dog wear them outside?
They’re made for the floors inside. Water loosens the adhesive, so wet grass can take a set off early. Many owners put a fresh set on after the morning walk rather than before it.
How do I put them on?
Start with a clean, dry paw. Trim any long fur between the pads first, then press each pad flat onto the paw pad.
Can’t I just trim my dog’s nails and paw fur?
Trimming helps, and it makes the pads stick better. But a trim won’t stop the slipping on its own, because nails still can’t grip a hard floor.
Will they help with arthritis or after surgery?
The pads don’t treat the joint. They stop weak legs sliding out on hard floors, which is why vets and rehab clinics suggest them for dogs with arthritis and during recovery.
Will one box be enough?
Each box holds 20 pads, which is five full changes for all four paws. Most owners change them every 2 to 4 days, so a box lasts about 10 to 20 days.
What if they don’t work for my dog?
You have 60 days. If your dog isn’t steadier, email us and we’ll refund you. No questions asked.
