Shoe, sock and artificial nail
- A dog may have difficulty getting up on slippery floors due to age, illness or after surgery. Slipping frequently is not only discouraging for your dog, but also detrimental to his locomotor system. Placing rugs (near the basket, in the sitting area or as a walk-through) is then recommended. In addition, you can increase your dog's range of motion indoors by using a dog sock, the Summit or Hi&light shoe. The success of a dog sock depends greatly on your choice of size and the dog. The sock must be tight around the foot and the dog must allow the sock to sit. Therefore, accompany your dog when he is not familiar with this and never leave a sock/shoe on in your absence. If so, leave your dog on a non-skid carpet pad.
- For snow or extra sole strain outdoors, the Grip Trex or the Walker Activeis recommended. These shoes are the most abrasion-resistant.
- For dogs that begin to drag with one or more legs due to age or failure, the Grip Trex is too heavy. In that case, choose the Summit or Hi&light. You can make the nose of these shoes more abrasion-resistant by roughing up the nose with sandpaper and covering it with rubber or Duct tape.
- When choosing a dog sock,pay particularattention to the width (= width without stretch) of the sock. The elasticity of the black sock is minimal.
- The Medical Pets Boot is intended for dogs with bandaged or plaster feet. With few bandages, the Walker Active can also be used as a bandage boot. You can also choose the simple, less abrasion-resistant silicone stocking.
If your dog has a wound on his sole, choose the Walker Care or Walker Care Comfort for outdoors and a roomy breathable cotton sock of your own for indoors. You can attachthis roomy sock with petflex ( 1 1/2 x round with slight stretch).
