Function and purpose: Specially designed dog boots provide extra support and stability for dogs with foot conditions such as dropped paw or arthritis, offering effective joint protection for dogs with injuries and neurological issues like spinal cord trauma and IVDD. Prevention and protection: Orthopedic dog shoes can protect the feet of dogs that engage in outdoor activities or need to stand for long periods, helping prevent damage to paw pads and toes. They also help protect foot wounds or ulcers, reduce the risk of further injury and infection, and distribute pressure across the feet to alleviate discomfort caused by arthritis or muscle weakness. Structural design: Front leg dog splint shoes serve as an adaptive mobility aid for dogs with walking difficulties, featuring specially designed adjustable straps for a secure fit. The design lifts the dog's paw sufficiently, maintains a natural angle during movement, stays securely in place while walking, and helps dogs with abnormal gait improve posture. Materials: These dog paw braces are constructed with a sturdy sole and durable fabric. The non-slip, resilient outsole provides stability and traction to protect sensitive paws. Reflective details on the straps enhance visibility and safety in low-light conditions. Measurement guide: To measure your dog's paw, place it on a piece of paper and mark the widest and longest points, then measure the distance. Size measurements are based on the inner dimensions of the shoe and are manually taken, so slight variations may occur. Properly fitted orthopedic dog shoes may help improve your dog's comfort and mobility but are not a substitute for professional veterinary care.
