Subj: Looking for Special Dog Shoes

Our one year old Border Collie has severe Bilateral Hip Dysplasia. He has already undergone a total hip replacement on his left hip and in two months the right one will be done. He can't walk very well on tile or wooden floors. I am looking for anti-skid "paw coverings" for him. He weighs approx. 45 lbs. We live in southern Texas, so it gets pretty hot down here. I don't want any fleeced-lined booties. What I am hoping to find is maybe a "sandal-liked shoe" that will have an anti-skid sole but be open on top and keep his paws cool.

Can you all help???? Please reply ASAP.

Thanks, Frank Salazar

A. Hello Frank,

Thank you for your inquiry. I'm sorry to hear about your dog's discomfort, however I do know that the NEO-PAWS shoes are used daily for this application. Since you are indoors, the regular shoes are our recommendation. They are a rubber sole which are light enough to wear indoors.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Can you tell me if your high performance shoe would be appropriate for a dog with a bad leg? My German Shepherd (8 1/2 yrs. old; 90 lbs.) has arthritis in his spine and is dragging his left hind leg so that his center nails are bleeding. The booties I've been using for protection are fleece with some kind of rubber on the bottom but they get torn up quickly. My vet thought I
might be able to get some kind of leather boot made. But then I found you and thought I'd ask. Do you think your's will work or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks. Fran MacCallum. e-mail me at fmlna@aol.com

Hello Fran,

The High-Performance shoes will be perfect for what your dog needs - they are sturdy enough and will not tear. You can even wrap them with some duct-tape for extra protection around the neoprene.

Our dog, Rommell, has Degenerative Myelopathy which is causing him to lose rear legs mobility. His right rear leg is the worst
and he is wearing down his toe nails to the point where he is about to expose the quick of his nails. We need, asap, to get
some kind of covering for this foot as regular walking exercise is the best treatment for his condition. He is a large dog(105lbs) and is additionally large boned. I downloaded your neo-paws products web page and your XXL 3.5" x 4.25" shoe may even be too small. How do I measure his foot? It is obviously"larger" when he is standing on it that if I were to measure it when he is not. If someone could call me to discuss this I would really appreciate it. We are in Florida and on Eastern Standard Time. Someone will be here all day today and if you could find the time to call us we would really appreciate it. Thank you.

A. Hello Nancy Trant,

The High-Performance shoes will protect your dog's toes. As far as the sizing, you will be fine with the XX-large. We look forward to helping your dog!

Hi Ronnie,

Thank you for your quick response !My purpose for needing non-skid boots is to prevent sliding on slick
floors while my dogs are dancing (turns, jumps, leaps, walking on hindlegs, etc.) How does the regular boot compare to the High Performance in fit and function?

With the measurements I have given, what now would you advise?
Peggy Singletary

A. Hello Peggy, thank you for your interest in our shoes - you definitely chose the right company.

The best choice for you and your dog's needs will be the High-Performance shoes. They are skid-free and will provide all of the traction which they need while dancing, jumping, running, etc.
