Aqumax Dog Paw Protector Anti-Slip Traction Pads from Slipping on Hardwood Floors,Walk Assistant for Your Senior Dogs 48 Pads XL Black

My 13 year old golden is having trouble getting up due to age and joint and muscle issues. He would slide when trying to stand up on the tile and LVF. These pads definitely help him not to slide and make it much easier to stand. Makes me more comfortable that he isn't going to fall over and I don't feel I have to lift him every time he wants to get up. They start to peel off within a week so you have to replace them but I would recommend them.

Wish I had found these sooner! I have LVP flooring and is more slick than I wanted for my dogs. My corgi had back surgery and has been very unstable in the rear. These pads do help….1. Clean the paw pad with alcohol first, allow to dry, then apply gripper pad - this will keep the adhesive gripper on the paw longer than 4 hours2. Trim nails and fur on each paw to obtain maximum benefit3.Wished I know about these sooner after surgery to help with her rehab…these will be repurchased !

Sticks to hair really well. Best to cut out the toes and paste them on separately. If you have a hairy dog, I guarantee these stickers will stick really well. Maybe too well. They will come off the pads way before they fall off the hair. This was a problem for me. At first I just slapped the whole sticker on my English Cocker Spaniel’s paws. They stuck to the hair great so it didn’t really matter if they stuck to the pads and I was pleased. But as they began to wear, this was a problem. If a corner of the sticker adhesive wore off I had to just use scissors to cut off the bad part, because there was no way I could peel off the rest of the sticker. It was stuck so strongly on her hair that trying to pull off a still sticky bit was difficult and painful for her. Plus I discovered that little bits of debris was getting stuck under the sticker. Still, the stickers are by far the best solution I’ve found for my elderly, balance challenged dog. They were making such a huge difference to her that I didn’t want to give them up. I had read that others had cut the stickers into pieces, so I tried it and…Yay! It fixed all our problems. Sticking each toe on separately eliminated the space that was trapping the debris under the sticker. Plus, as each toe comes off, you just replace the toe instead off taking off the whole sticker. You simply cut the toes out while the sticker is still stuck to the package backing and then put each cut-out toe on the pads separately. The two pictures I posted show my technique. In one of the pictures you can see that the large palm sticker was staying on and wearing down naturally, so I left it on and just replaced the four toes. Some tips: put the stickers on when your dogs feet are clean and dry, then wait a little for the adhesive to set before you let them out of grass or rough surfaces. My dog tends to lose about half of the toe stickers in 48 hours. So they do need to be replaced regularly. But I don’t think you could safely make the adhesive stronger or you would not be able to get them off if you needed to. These are still way better than boots and socks. The waterproof boots that they can wear outside aren’t breathable so they can’t wear them 24/7. The socks that are breathable can’t be worn outside. So with boots or socks you’re always taking things on and off. Replacing the stickers is easy in comparison.

These paw pads/grips really do help your four legged family member stand up on smooth surfaces without their legs sliding from underneath them. My Jack Russell was 17 years old when he had a time trying to stand on slippery surfaces without his legs spreading out beneath him, these pads were a life saver for him!

After we switched to vinyl flooring, our previously healthy older dog started slipping and doing the splits. I didn't think she'd tolerate stickers on her feet, but she doesn't seem to mind them at all. And they've greatly reduced her slipping. I wish I'd started using them sooner.My only complaint is that they don't stay on more than a day. So I end up having to check her feet and replace missing stickers a couple of times a day. The L size seems to be less sticky than the XL and XXL. But they are still worth it!
