Old dog with slippery feet

[59FLH]

We have an old dog who's feet slip when trying to get up on our wood floors, at times she struggles so much it makes you jump up to go help her. Tonight we tried a non slip sock called "Tiger Toes" they work for traction but wont stay on her feet. Im looking for an alternative solution. Any advice for a non slip pad, shoe, or boot for a dogs feet?

She looks like a little old lady with her hose falling down.

We bought some neoprene boots for our old GSP. They had rubber soles, and helped a LOT.

Thanks for the reply Lance. Have a link, or a brand name?

Do they stay on?

Wish the best for your sweet lady. We have hardwoods and Samson had the same problem. We had to make a 5'x5' section of carpet with wood slats every 6" so his feet could grip to stand up. Was going to try getting rubber boots for him but he passed. You might want to look at the Dog Boots for Snow.
Wish you get something to help her.

I had the same issue and got some baby sock and dipped them in Plasti Dip. They worked pretty well and stayed on most of the time. Some of that medical wrap will hold them on. I couldn't get her to wear any of the dog shoes as they were too bulky, would rotate,

or come off.

Toddler grip socks, 12 pair non slip, for $9.99 on Amazon. Just add a roll of 3M electrical tape, done. Good for 3 change outs and dogs love em in the deep snow, they don't have to stop and dig the built up snow in pads of their paws. Target Walmarts they all have em for nearly same price.
