Function and purpose: Specially designed dog boots provide extra 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 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, prevent further injury and infection, and distribute pressure across the feet to reduce discomfort caused by arthritis or muscle weakness. Structural design: Front leg dog splint shoes are adaptive mobility aids for dogs with walking difficulties, featuring specially designed adjustable straps for a secure fit. The design lifts the dog's paw sufficiently, maintains an appropriate angle during movement, stays securely in place while walking, and helps dogs with abnormal gait adjust their posture. Materials: These dog paw braces are constructed with a sturdy sole and durable fabric. The non-slip sole provides stability and traction to protect sensitive paws. Reflective details on the shoelaces enhance visibility and safety in low-light conditions. Measurement guide: Place your dogs paw on a piece of paper and press down to mark the width and length, 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 improve your dogs comfort and mobility but are not a substitute for professional veterinary care.
