Luca is a 14-year-old Polish Mountain Dog and weighs 41 kg. In recent years, he has increasingly suffered from age-related ailments: stiff joints, slipping on the floor, and the stairs had been an insurmountable obstacle for months. We helped him up and down every time, but that's no longer ideal for our age either. Friends had been using Dog Socky for a while and recommended it. The first two days were clearly a period of adjustment: he kept trying to take the socks off himself and walked a bit strangely. But on day three, something seemed to click. He started walking more and regaining confidence with every step. Yesterday morning, we heard him coming up the stairs. By himself. Without us having helped him. He was standing at the bedroom door. We know that socks are not a miracle cure and that he is 14. But the anti-slip gives him confidence in his own body, and we see a bit of the old playful Luca returning.

We bought these socks for our golden retriever after having our wooden floor sanded. The contractor recommended the dog wear socks for at least 30 days while the coating cured. After four weeks of daily use, we know enough. They are easy to put on. The material stretches, the nubs are all around so there's no "right side," and the elastic hook-and-loop strap is sewn to the sock itself. So no loose strip to lose. We had previously tried molded dog boots and found that our dog's hind paws are a full size smaller than her front paws. Those always fell off. That's not an issue here. The hook-and-loop strap is also directed inwards, so it sticks to the sock instead of the carpet. With other brands, the sock comes off as soon as the dog lies down. The grip on the smooth floor was good and the nails didn't touch the wood. But the socks are fragile. The bottom part wears out quickly, even with purely indoor use. The dog's nails poke holes from the inside, even after trimming. If the dog gnaws on her paw for a moment, which dogs do, the sock is ruined before it's truly worn out. We spray bitter apple spray on the socks, but you need a substantial amount for four socks each time. The packaging also states that they should not be used outdoors. Our dog briefly escaped from the garage and walked on the asphalt for a few minutes. Two socks were completely destroyed before I caught her. In four weeks, we went through 3 sets. For a one-time period of 30 days, that's manageable, but if you plan to have your dog wear socks structurally, this quickly becomes unaffordable. For short-term indoor use, they do more than they promise. For longer outdoor use, I would look further.

Purchased for my almost 15-year-old Welsh Terrier. We have polished concrete floors at home and noticed he was starting to slip a bit and move less confidently. I expected him to hate the socks, as he tolerates no clothing I try to put on him, but he has absolutely no problem with them. He literally ran through the entire house to try them out, corners and all. Size M fits perfectly.

My 10-year-old Golden Retriever has arthritis and constantly slips on the parquet floor in the living room. We initially ordered size M, but they were too tight around his hind legs. Customer service sent us a size larger free of charge.<!--en--><!--en-->Indoors, they are perfect. But after 2 weeks of romping around in the woods outside, we saw the first signs of wear on the 2 socks on his hind legs. For indoor use, they are great, but for rough outdoor use, they probably won't last forever. Hopefully, they will hold up for a while longer.

The best dog socks ever. My 12-year-old husky finally has grip on the slick floor without the risk of slipping. When he wears them, I no longer have to worry about him falling.

Top product! I can't believe I didn't find this sooner. I have a 13-year-old senior dog with arthritis who slips on the wooden floor when he plays. As soon as I put these socks on, he seemed like a new dog. They stay on well and he seems much more confident chasing his toys without slipping. Safer for him. He lets me put them on without a problem. 4 stars, because the top is quite tight, which makes putting them on a bit more difficult. Otherwise, a great product.
