The product
How long does a set last?
3 to 5 days on most dogs. Calm indoor dogs get closer to a week. Dogs who go outside a lot, get wet, or walk on pavement wear through them faster. A 30-Day Supply box has 4 sets, which covers about a month with a few rest days between sets.
Will my dog notice them?
Most dogs sniff their paw once and forget about it. The pads are thin and flexible, so there's no stiff "boot" feeling. A small number of dogs lick at them the first hour. If yours does, a 5-minute distraction (a walk, a chew) usually ends it.
Are they safe?
The adhesive is skin-safe and designed for paw pads. Don't apply to cracked, cut or bleeding pads, and give the paw a few days' rest between sets so the skin breathes. If you ever see redness, take them off and email us.
How do I take them off?
They peel off. If one is stubborn, a little warm water or coconut oil on the edge loosens it.
Do they work on all floors?
Hardwood, laminate, tile, vinyl and polished concrete. That's the whole point.
Sizing
What size do I order?
Go by weight. S under 20 lb. M 20 to 40 lb. L 40 to 60 lb. XL 60 to 80 lb. XXL over 80 lb. If your dog sits right on a line, size up; a slightly bigger pad is fine, a too-small pad slides.
I ordered the wrong size.
Email us before you open a second set and we'll send the right size free.
Applying them
Any prep?
Yes, and this is the step people skip. Trim long hair between the pads, then wipe the paw clean and let it dry fully. Adhesive doesn't bond to fur, dirt or damp skin. Press each pad firmly for 10 seconds.
Can I put them on a wiggly dog?
Do it when they're sleepy, one paw per session if you have to. It's a 10-second press, not a wrestling match.
