Function and purpose: Specially designed dog boots provide support and stability for dogs with foot conditions such as dropped paw or arthritis, offering protective joint relief for dogs with injuries and neurological issues like spinal cord trauma and IVDD. Prevention and protection: Orthopedic dog shoes help protect the feet of dogs that engage in outdoor activities or need to stand for extended periods, helping prevent damage to paw pads and toes. They also help protect foot wounds or ulcers, reducing the risk of further injury and infection, while distributing pressure across the feet to help alleviate discomfort associated with 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 helps lift the dog's paw and maintain a proper angle during movement, staying securely in place to assist dogs with abnormal gait in adjusting their posture. Materials: These dog paw braces are constructed with a sturdy sole and durable fabric. The non-slip, resilient sole provides stability and traction, helping protect sensitive paws from injury. Reflective details on the shoelaces 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. Sizes are based on manual measurements of the inner dimensions of the shoe, 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.
