I'm looking for protective boots that stay on my older dog's paws. Can you suggest a product?
Full Question:
Do you have a recommendation for protective boots THAT STAY ON the dog. I have a 78 lb, 12 year old GSD female who is "toeing under" and needs protection for her right back foot. I know several other owners that have had this problem and have had trouble finding a comfortable boot that will reliably stay on the dog. Any help you can give will be much appreciated. (I own a boarding and grooming operation and would love to be able to recommend a product you may carry that works...preferably available in many sizes for various breeds.) Thanks.
Cindy's Answer:
We do offer some that stay on which I will link below. They are like heavy-duty rubber gloves. I have found they work well for paw injuries, protecting pads from ice and sidewalk salt, and for added traction for older dogs. They can be hard to get on, one of our customers has a trick for that.
"I wrapped the opening around a Mason/Bar jar lid ring and can easily slide the ring over his paw to install the boot and then slide the ring back over the foot once the boot is on."
