Full description

He's not being clumsy. Your floor is.

A dog grips the floor in two places: the pads press down for friction, and the nails dig in when they push off or turn. On grass both work. On laminate the pads have nothing to hold and the nails have nothing to catch, so every stop and every corner becomes a slide.

Young dogs slip too. They just recover fast enough that you don't notice. Older dogs feel it first, and once a dog has gone down on a smooth floor they start bracing before they walk across it, which is the part owners usually notice before the slipping itself.

These are a set of four socks with a grip surface on the sole. Wood, laminate, tile. They go on for the parts of the day that matter, not permanently.

Size is everything here, and this is where orders go wrong. Stand your dog on a piece of paper, press gently on the paw so it spreads the way it does when they're walking, and trace around it. Measure the width at the widest point. Order by that number, not by your dog's weight or breed. A sock that's too big rotates and the grip ends up on the side of the paw instead of underneath it, and a sock that's too tight comes off in the first minute.

Two honest notes. Plenty of dogs hate socks the first few times, and walk like they're on the moon. That passes with short sessions and treats, but it does not pass for every dog. And before you rely on socks alone, trim the nails and the fur between the pads. Long nails lift the pad off the floor, which takes away the grip the pads were supposed to provide, and that costs nothing to fix.

What they won't do. They won't help on carpet, because that isn't a traction problem. They won't fix stairs on their own either, where the tread depth and the lighting usually matter more than the surface. And they aren't outdoor boots. Grip soles wear down fast on pavement.

Shipping and returns. Orders leave within 24 to 72 hours. Delivery takes 9 to 12 business days, tracked, with duties and taxes settled before it ships, so there is nothing to pay on arrival. Not right for you? Email us within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund it.

This is where orders go wrong. Stand your dog on a piece of paper, press gently on the paw so it spreads the way it does when they walk, and trace around it. Measure the width at the widest point and order by that number, not by weight and not by breed.

A sock that is too big rotates, and then the grip sits on the side of the paw instead of underneath it. A sock that is too tight comes off in the first minute. Neither is the sock failing; both are the tape measure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure the paw?

Stand your dog on paper, press gently so the paw spreads the way it does when they walk, trace around it, and measure the width at the widest point. Order by that measurement. Weight and breed tell you nothing useful here.

They keep coming off. What went wrong?

Usually the size, in either direction. Too big and the sock turns until the grip is on the side of the paw; too tight and it works its way off in the first minute. Re-measure before you assume your dog is the problem.

My dog walks strangely in them.

Most do at first. Short sessions, treats, and take them off before your dog decides to. A few days of five minutes each beats an afternoon of trying to convince them.

Can they wear them all day?

No. These are for the parts of the day that matter, not permanent wear. Paws need to spread and breathe, and permanent cover is how skin problems start.

Do they work on carpet?

They do nothing useful there, and they do not need to. Carpet is not a traction problem.

Will they fix the stairs?

They help, but stairs are usually about tread depth and lighting more than surface. An older dog that has started refusing the stairs is telling you something worth checking with a vet, not something to solve with socks alone.

Can we use them outside?

Not on pavement. The grip soles wear down fast on concrete and salt. These are indoor socks; boots are the outdoor answer.

What else should I do first?

Trim the nails and the fur between the pads. Long nails hold the pad off the floor, which removes exactly the grip you are trying to add, and it costs nothing to fix.

Are they useful in winter here?

Very. Wet paws off the snow are the slipperiest they get, and a dog that has come in from the salt is also the one licking their paws afterwards. Dry the paws first, then put the socks on for the hour they are moving around the house.
