Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips® for Dogs

First, I didn’t think my dog would allow them to be put on! Wrong, he let me without a problem! He is a Rottweiler so I got the largest size and they were easy to put on. Second, I didn’t think he would leave them alone. Wrong again! It is like he doesn’t know they are on. We have lost 2 in the first week, but I am guessing I put them on wrong.

We have been using these for Eisley for more than 2 years. It has saved us and him! It works on tile, laminate, and stone flooring. We replace them every 3 weeks and have them on auto-ship. Eisley goes on walks outside and then to a dog park everyday with them on--and gets a bath every 2 weeks with them on as well. My husband puts them on using hand sanitizer after trimming his nails and it does not bother him at all. We can tell when they are getting worn down as he starts slipping more. Once the new ones go on, his balance and stability greatly improve. Cannot recommend these high enough for older dogs. Really a win. And so super happy they came up on my Facebook page and they worked so amazingly well. Eisley is now 17!

We adopted a Rough Coat Collie named Sadie from a rescue nine months ago. She is three. When she was a year old she was hit by a car and lost her right-rear leg. Outside she can run like anything. Inside, the hardwood and vinyl floors make her slip and fall at times. I keep her nails and paw-pad fur trimmed, but she needed more. I work at a veterinary practice and see older dogs using the grips with apparent success. I thought “let’s try them for Sadie!” I ordered them and described my girl and got an email very quickly from Dr. Buzby’s customer service telling how to use on a young tri-pawed dog. I put one grip each on the nails of the two middle toes on each front paw. Worked okay, but the rear “power-paw” still slipped, so added a grip to each of the two middle toes on it. I did not need to use the glue, so, so far so good. My girl can run about and play around from the living room through the kitchen of our open-plan house! So confident!! So glad I tried them and customer service has been great answering my questions when they arise. So grateful for these Toe Grips!

This review is not for the product as my dog does not deal with paw handling so we weren’t able to use them. However, we ordered them to try just in case. We are based in Canada and needed to return for a refund. Dr. Buzby’s refunded us without us sending back the product and instead told us to donate the toe grips to a senior dog in need through our vet. Faith in humanity restored. I’ll be donating them today and hope they help someone give their senior pup more comfort.

Gamechanger! Such a simple and brilliant solution for our sweet senior girl. She’s been wearing them for a couple days now and the difference is amazing! Ruth is so much more sure-footed and sturdy on our floors, and I’m far less worried about her injuring a fragile joint by slipping. Her OA has led to uneven musculature in her legs, so extra traction means the world. She doesn’t seem to even notice them, and application was straightforward. 3 days in, they're staying on well during our daily walks. We've had to reapply a few, but that's no big deal — and each pack includes a few extras.

Ruth is a 68lb Pit Mix and the large grips fit her perfectly. Will be ordering more!!

Our 18 year old dachshund, Bridgett, was experiencing issues with her back legs keeping traction, especially our tile and wood floors. Now she gets along just fine and enjoys walking again.

We have two litter-mate Lhasa Apsos, Dora and Goldie. Both are approaching 15 years of age in two months, and the aches and pains are beginning to take their effect, including general muscle weakness that comes with age.

Our tiled floor sections of the house have always been a "slid zone", especially since Lhasa's grow hair between their pads for protection from hot and cold conditions. When the dogs were younger and stronger they were able to compensate, but unfortunately now they can't do that as well. I tried keeping their paw pad hair trimmed, but alone it wasn't enough to solve the problem. Enter the perfect solution - traction provided by these awesome toe grips!

While Goldie didn't need them yet, Dora certainly did, so we tried Dr. Buzby's Toe Grips. Following the excellent instructions that came with the well-packaged product, I applied the toe grips as directed and they worked extremely well! Her feet were well-planted on the tile floors, and I could tell it made her more comfortable and confident in moving around on those slippery floors.

I did have some concerns at first. I wasn't sure if they would stay on, or if she would eventually chew them off. Surprisingly, she never messed with them. On her rear paws I realized she might not like them when trying to scratch an itch, but she was still able to do all her normal canine things same as before. She did manage to lose two of them within a week, but I found them on her bed, which she likes to paw at (excessively) before laying down. I simply cleaned them up and put them back on. I may not have had those two placed well enough on her nails, because this has not happened since. No worries even if a few go missing, we received 5 extra toe grips with our order, and I appreciated that I had the surplus to cover any losses. Also, I have experimented with leaving the inside toenails toe-grip free, just to allow her to paw and scratch herself, and it seems to still allow plenty of traction to avoid slips. I've also experimented with rotating/reversing them while waiting for a new order to arrive, with limited success.

Overall, I am very happy with the Toe-Grips! They provide a novel soluton to a common problem at a reasonable price. While you could install carpet runners everywhere, or try dog shoes (which I'm sure every dog would hate), I recommend gining these Toe-Grips a shot.

We purchased toe grips for my 110 lab who was afraid to walk on the hard wood because he would slide. After putting them on they worked for two days after that he probably had about 4 left he lost all the rest at the price tag i dont thing four days of uasage was worth the price.

Our 16yo tiny poodle guy has bad arthritis and muscle wasting in his hind legs. The Dr Buzby’s team was super helpful in right-sizing the toe caps and helping to maximize use by suggesting using only on certain toes to start. Turns out just a few on Edgar’s back toes were enough to reduce sliding while walking and slipping outward of his paws. A really great product with a amazing customer service!

My girl 170 lb Saint Bernard had a stroke at 4 months old. She was paralyzed in her back end. Her rear right leg came back with therapy but she still has issues with the left rear leg. She doesn’t get traction on hardwood , tile floors. I have had runner rugs placed around. I have tried socks with grips ( which work too) but taken them off and on can be a pain. I finally decided to try the Toe Grips. I wish I would have tried sooner. I now have runners rugs up and she is not sliding her leg out to get a grip and stand up. It is very easy putting them on her nails. She doesn’t seemed bothered by them.
