3 Reasons Why You Need Non Slip Socks for Dogs

Non Skid Socks for Dogs

Non Slip Socks for Dogs

Oh, there are so many ways non slip socks are useful. I could go on and on, but here are the top 3 reasons why you need grip socks for your dog! There are tons of options out there. However, I’ll share my favorite product with you.

Benefits of Non Slip Socks

Provides Traction

Non skid socks are perfect for senior and tri-pawed dogs needing an extra bit of traction when navigating slick surfaces, such as tile and hardwood floors. With arthritis, most senior dogs’ legs will splay out from underneath them. It’s difficult to bring their legs back under them so most fall to the ground. With non slip socks, they have traction, which prevents splaying even on slick surfaces.

Protects Hardwood Floors

Sometimes, no matter how trimmed your dog’s nails are, they still leave scratch marks on hardwood floors while running through the house. Grip socks prevent damage on hardwood floors while providing traction. It’s not fun when dogs slip and crash into your breakables. 🙂

Aids in Wound Healing

Personally, I’ve used non skid socks to aid in healing foot wounds. Wearing a sock prevents dogs from licking and irritating the wound further. I would much rather use these socks than force my dog to wear a neck cone. 🙂

Woodrow Wear Socks: My Personal Favorite

Woodrow Wear creates the best non slip socks that actually stays on your dog’s foot. They are washable, made of breathable cotton fabric and have a wide band that keeps the sock on your dog’s foot. Each sock contains non-skid pads, and they’re easy to take off or put on. Plus, Woodrow Wear socks will not turn or rotate, keeping the traction pad in place at the bottom of the foot if fitted properly. When choosing a size, I recommend sizing down, meaning choosing one size smaller than your dog’s foot, as they will stretch a bit.
