My Dog is Back on Her Feet!!!
Before I get into a detailed review, I want to make sure those skimming reviews know the critical info on this product because it WILL help your best buddy in most cases. * The reviews are very mixed and that is for two primary reasons, size or falling off. * Size - Based on reviews, if you have a very large breed the socks may not fit. I purchased the largest size for my Lab (40LB) who has large paws and they are a little loose. See Pic. * Falling Off - Here is the big issue with a lot of these dog products. Socks, Shoes, you name it, these things don't stay on. There was a tip from another reviewer to use Vet Wrap to keep them on. However, that reviewer did not have success in her case. The primary reason appears to be the pet was too mobile and needed the sock for recovery on an injury. The mobility plays a key part in preventing it from falling off. If your dog has low mobility, they should not lose the sock with vet wrap in place. Amazon sells the Vet Wrap that I purchased which is generic and has many color options. Now that the high level details are finished, I will add additional information on my experience. My oldest dog is a lab and is going on 12 years who had excellent mobility before we moved to a new house with hardwood floors on the 1st FL. We did not realize that over time or if there is a bad slip, your dog can injure themselves. Due to her age, she has a delayed nerve response on her rear right leg which is causing the slipping to become a major issue. Beyond working with our Vet, I needed something to give her traction on the hardwood. All the products seem to have the same issue, they are effective but don't stay on or have poor durability. We initially tried the socks by themselves and it worked but they slipped off. Then I read about Vet Wrap in a review and looked into the product. It is a non-adhesive compression wrap that works perfectly to keep the socks on. The socks are only needed for her rear legs and I keep them on all day and take them off at night. She is able to go into the backyard with them on and she doesn't run fast enough to get them loose. Overall they have made a HUGE difference and she is able to move around the hardwood confidently and does not slip. I would give this product 4 stars but I can't blame them for the fact that similar products all have the same issue of staying on the feet.
