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 to protect sensitive paws. Reflective elements on the shoelaces enhance visibility and safety in low-light conditions. Measurement guide: Place the dog's paw on a flat surface with paper underneath and gently press down to mark the width and length, then measure the dimensions. Product sizes are based on manual measurements of the inner shoe dimensions and may vary slightly. Properly fitted orthopedic dog shoes may help improve your dog's comfort and mobility but are not a substitute for professional veterinary care.
