    Default paw pads

    I don't remember if I posted this before but, does anyone know if those anti-slip thingies you put on your dogs pads work? We have hardwood floors and Aspen easily slips when he starts prancing or getting crazy.

    i have personally never tried them but i have heard of a few reviwers who said they worked very very well.
    if we are talking about the same things they are glued onto the pads useing a medical grade adhesive that after a few months time wears away and they need to be re-applied
    but like i said ive never actually tried them myself

    I have something similar, musher's secret, and it leaves a mess all over the hardwood floors! It's fine for the outdoors. I'm thinking maybe booties are the only way to go inside...I've heard mixed reviews about those anti-slip pads.

    I am very glad you asked this. We just moved and I've got alot more floor space and my measly rugs don't help much. And it's all wood. I didn't know these things exist.

    Yeah, I'm quite interested in them, although I hear from people that there are pro's and con's to them. Maybe more con's...I keep reading over and over that they fall off easily.

    Thinking of getting these for him when he's indoors. I will be looking at other places because they are expensive! What do you all think about them?

    I would think dogs would chew them off...? No?

    Aspen does not mind booties at all...he has some fleece ones, but those are very slippery. I bought them when he had issues with his feet in his younger days.
