Review: Good product but not enough glue - I purchased this product for my 12 year old Standard Poodle, Ruby. It works extremely well. I’m very happy with it. It’s a bit pricey to only lasts a week. There are maybe two weeks worth of product. For the cost there should be at least enough for a month. I think I did a good job applying it. I did however accidentally glue my fingers together. Lol. My daughter said it looks like cat litter on her paws. I really wish it came in colors. It’s blue on the box cover. It’s only been one day since I applied to her paws. Hopefully it lasts longer than a week.
Review: Be careful when applying! My dog now has an infected wound on paw. - Product is a good idea but I found no way to safely apply with a dog that wont stay still for it. Used it 3 times over 2 weeks. First 2 times I was lucky enough to get some on the pads properly and it helped him get traction on the floor. However it only lasted a few days then was gone and he was slipping again. The third time I used it, he just didn't want me handling his paws and when applying glue to the back pad, he was jerking and moving and the glue ran off his back pad onto the adjacent skin. When the sand was applied, it created a patch of almost cement with sharp edges up against the skin with no room to cut off. Within 2 days, all product disappeared off pads but this patch would not release. I contacted manu. (email only, no phone number) and to their credit they responded quickly but their suggestions did not work. 1st: emery board. 2nd time I contacted, suggestion: cut it out at groomer. 3rd contact: warm soapy water 10 min. None of these worked. Tried acetone on cotton ball, vaseline, olive oil. Was hoping hair would grow out and allow dog clippers to safely remove. Now 2 weeks later hair still hasn't grown enough and he has an open wound with infection from this foreign object still stuck. I put triple antibiotic on a gauze pad and wrapped his foot for 24 hrs and its starting to loosen up. He's now on oral antibiotics to fight the infection and will go into Vet now. Words of wisdom, if you have a dog that doesn't tolerate paws being handled, this product can get messy in the application and sadly this product can be dangerous for your dog.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My dog lays belly on floor legs extended, trying to get up he pushes against floor trying to get his legs under him, how long will this stay on**
A: It won't...  I had issues with my dog needing traction and I tried many things.  This was, hands-down, the absolute worst thing.  It is really hard to apply.  It doesn't stay on.  And it offered literally no traction whatsoever.  And for the price...  The price is ridiculous for what you get.  A cardboard tray...  Some superglue...  and some pulverized rubber.

**Q: Does this product increase the amount of food your dog eats? Also, is super glue and playground sand a suitable stand-by while waiting for the product**
A: This did not increase the amount of food my dog eats - it is designed to stop the dog from slipping on slippery floors.  I bought the product and found it wore off in a day or two - and the kit contains enough product for maybe 6-8 applications - so to me it certainly wasn't worth the $35 I spent.  I would recommend just putting throw rugs down where the dog is.  Another thing would be to TRIM the dogs hair around the pads - that was an issue with my Labrador and it helped DRAMATICALLY.  And to answer your other question - I would not put super glue on my dogs paws - the glue that comes in this package is medical glue designed for this.  Super glue may be toxic and damaging and painful to the dogs pads.

**Q: Can I buy the blue ponder separated?**
A: nope...that I know of.

**Q: How long does it last?**
A: Depends. It lasted - still on his feet for about a month but it wasn’t effective that long. I’d say it helped him for about 2 weeks then he started to slide again. If it rained, it would last about a week or less. Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Works well. Doesn’t last long. Waaaaay overpriced.
*by R***R on April 2, 2024*

I put this on my dog’s main pad on his rear feet. It DOES help him to navigate the slippery wooden floors. Be careful not to over apply the goop. One issue is the tubes are rigid, too rigid to easily squeeze goop out for application. You end up spending a lot of time trying to squeeze the tube when you should be trying to hold your dog’s foot. So that’s a problem. The product either needs to be half the price, or they need to provide twice the material: goop plus traction material. I’ll bet margin is around 75% on this. But there’s no competitor…
