TREADS ON NAILS
Senior dogs are often helped with anti-inflammatory medication, joint supplements, pain medication and laser therapy.
These are all great for treating the symptoms that are often the result of the struggle senior dogs and special needs dogs have from lack of traction on hard floors.
Dog Toe Treads treat the cause and work to improve the symptoms.
FEATURES OF DOG TOE TREADS
The DOG TOE TREAD is designed to easily slip on to a dog’s toenail attached with a safe instant adhesive. Far greater traction is achieved for dog’s on hard surfaces, with many positive benefits.
LARGEST AREA OF SURFACE CONTACT
With the largest surface grip area known to be available that applies to a dogs toe nails, fewer Dog Toe Treads provide more traction. The material composition provides optimal traction.
FDA FOOD SAFE HIGH TRACTION MATERIAL
This FOOD SAFE MATERIAL greatly increases traction with hard surfaces such as wood flooring and ceramic tile.
SIDE AREA OF CONTACT
This angle cut is designed to increase traction with flooring when a dog is transitioning to a standing or laying down. Without good traction dogs spend much greater energy and increase wear and tear on muscles joints and tendons.
OPEN BACK DESIGN FEATURE
The open back design is to provide air to circulate to the nail and for moisture drainage from rain bathing. This open back design also enables the device to easily be slipped onto the dog toenail.
CURVED AREA OF CONTACT REDUCE FRICTION
The edges of the our dog toe grips device are curved so as not to present a potential sharp area of contact with neighboring toes.
SIDEWALLS PROVIDE EASE OF APPLICATION OF ADHESIVE
The two sidewalls are flexible and ease application of our dog toe grips.
CLEAR FOR FIT CHECK
The clarity of the material provides for a fit check to see if the nail trim is best prior to applying adhesive.
FRONT CUTOUT IN WALL FEATURE
The front wall cut-out feature provides a view to observe the position of the nail and allows for increased independent flexibility to each sidewall.
Dr. Samantha McHenry speaks about How Dog Toe Treads Can Help:
THE PROBLEM-WHAT IS GOING ON?
There are many factors that contribute to chronic disease, causing our senior dog to slip, slide and fall. They occur over an entire lifetime and can create significant degeneration and weakness. Some factors include stress, inflammation, degeneration, even basic wear and tear takes a toll on our bodies over time. Keep in mind there are various causes of acute and chronic diseases causing slipping and sliding, and all pets with these symptoms should be carefully and fully evaluated by a veterinarian, to determine the underlying cause and proper treatment.
When we consider the many causes of weakness occurring in our senior dog and the fact that most of the flooring, we have in our homes have a slippery surface, it’s no wonder our senior pups have trouble at home. When our senior dogs have weakness, they may exhibit a great deal of trouble transitioning from laying down to standing up, vice versa, and even simply making their way around the house.
LACK OF TRACTION
When they feel a lack of traction situation, such as an encounter with hard flooring, they will extend their nails trying to get a grip. Unfortunately, their nails against hard flooring has the opposite effect and they end up exerting a large amount of energy struggling, they may fall if they are able to stand which causes further injury, inflammation and pain. I have even seen patients’ legs splay out to the sides while simply standing to eat or drink. Overtime our pets will figure out they are no longer able to walk on the surface without great struggle and potential harm. In these situations, some of our pets will give up which contributes to further weakness, depression and a poor quality of life.
HOW CAN DOG TOE TREADS CAN HELP
The mechanism of action behind Dog Toe Treads is simple… The treads provide traction which will support and improve mobility in our senior canines who are exhibiting weakness, slipping, and falling on floors at home. Mobility support is a crucial step in a multimodal approach to treatment of the various causes of weakness in our senior dogs. With support they will use their muscles instead of allowing them to atrophy (waste away). With support they can focus on supportive therapy, rehabilitation and reduced oral medication by helping stop the cycle of repeated trauma, inflammation and pain on top of already underlying disease. With support you can help achieve a meaningful improvement in their quality of life.
