For indoor use for older dogs who are slipping on wood floors - do you take them off at night and put them on again in the AM? Or do they sleep in the

Yoi can leave them on so that the dog can get use to the mitts and better there balance. But I suggest taking them off at night anyways to air out there paws due to sweating

I got them because my dog has allergies that affect his paws. He wears them overnight to keep him from licking and chewing on his pads. I do clean the inside of them daily.

We take them off at night since our dog is on carpet in our bedroom otherwise he is on hardwood floors all day. Also we imagine it is like taking your shoes off at the end of the day. Our golden retriever is 14 years old. We use them outside on walks because they protect his hind feet that he tends to drag and wear down his nails.

Sorry they are not. I have found that a double stick tape or velcro to solve the slipping problem. I also use training pads on top of these just for extra benefit if I am away. The "sticky" also helps in them "going" to the same place every time. Good luck. I have found these pads to be the most helpful training items on the market and bought five sets so I don't get caught between wash days. I have hardwood floors and the "sticky" has not been a problem on them as well.

They are rubber-ish, so they have a good bit of grip. Our dog doesn't usually wear then inside, but he had run around on the hardwood floors in them and doesn't slip around like he does with bare paws.

...oh yes, I did not place any pee pads in the pen, I bought 4 panels to make a square pen, because my doggies did not use them appropriately. They decided to shred the pee pads and covered themselves with little pieces of them. So I decided to let them out every 2 hours so they can do their business. They have never soiled the inside of the pen. They sleep through the night starting from 8 pm to 6 am.

We have a Dalmatian that weighs 25kg. She cannot be trusted to stay alone in the house so she sleeps in the cozy kennel when we are at work/out of an evening. She sleeps on her padded cushion, which we aire before putting in. She can just get through the entrance with the cushion in place, but sleeps cosily within it.I would recommend.

I think so. I have wood floors and my dig slips on them, but when he wears the boots it gives traction so he won't slip. They have padding inside so they don't hurt his paws.

I have a large ottoman in my basement which has wood laminate floors. My black lab runs and jumps on and off and would make it slide. Since I put these underneath, it hasn't budged.

Dear Jenna,We sometimes would use one boot when our GSD's pads would get cut from rough rock in Hawaii. We had hardwood floors, and the boots have enough grip for walking. Our dog (really he is our son's service dog) was used to having his pads massaged, so he did not mind the boots. The boots will come off when running, but stay on most of the time. I bought these because it was the preferred boot for military working dogs in Afghanistan. Hope this helps, and best wishes as you care for your fur friend.very sincerely,Stephen

Put the pads on the bottom of feet, preferably after Evening shower and wear them to bed. Don't wear them inside a shoe. When you awake and remove them they should be dark and "dirty" looking which are toxins removed from your body. You Can use every night, until pads are clearer. Never re- use pads.

I use them to sleep in because the dogs/hedgehog are loud, and they're comfortable. They'll fall out if you don't put them in properly though.

They may work to help dog from slipping if u put the word side down so it works as a gripper but as far as leaving them on for anymore time then a short walk outside you should probably not. Think about putting a ballon on your Dogs feet the part that is the opening is very tight and I think most dogs will try to chew it off. The only way my dog -puppy allows us to put them on is because he knows we will not take him for his outside walk in the rain or snow without this boots but as soon as we get in house he starts to try to chew them off.

The pads do not slip, though I have linoleum/vinyl flooring. Your dog should be fine. I've used pads successfully for a couple years for my 3 dogs and will continue to use them. Just don't walk on them yourself.

They last about 4 weeks on our dog. We check each week and replace ones that have fallen off. It has been a huge savings to our wood floor.

I don't think any harness should be worn around the clock. The dogs seem to find this comfortable. I did notice a little rubbing under the front legs of one of the dogs. I wouldn't leave it on.

There are no treads to speak of - the steps are covered with a thin carpeting. I have a 32 lb dog that negotiates them no problem, no slipping at all on the steps. The only thing I would recommend is if your floors are wood, you need to get some rubber adhesive feet to put on the bottom of the legs and steps. Its smooth so if you have wood on wood they whole thing will move as the dog goes up and down. If you have carpeting you're fine as is. If not, a couple of bucks at your local hardware store will stop the sliding.

As far as I can tell, it HELPS. For any real benefit, you'll probably want to keep it burning 24-7. I do this, since my pups like a nightlight, anyway.

My dog slept on it through the night the first couple of nights, but now he'll start on it and move to the floor or just stay on the floor. Not sure what to take from it.
