I have an English Bull Terrier with two major feet problems:
1) Her claws point into the ground, causing her pain walking on ashphalt, gravel, rough sidewalks.... any hard, rough surfaces. It's difficult to see, and we simply can't go certain routes because of it. Even on smooth sidewalks there wasn't a single walk she wouldn't hit a little rock or something, stumble, then lift her foot in pain.
2) She has terrible grass and pollen allergies that have caused her to chew her feet raw. It has been so bad they bled and caused her to limp. It's absolutely miserable for her.
For the foot pain, we have tried tons of dog shoes and socks, but they all come off in less than a block. We made our own solution, but to keep them on they had to be so tight they caused rope burn, so that wasn't viable. We even had her claws cauderized twice in the hopes that she would be able to walk without pain across streets and bumpy surfaces, but the nerves grew back both times.
For the allergies, we've tried 1-4 feet washings per day with medicated shampoo, medicated foot wipes, frequent colloidal oatmeal foot soaks.... everything. And we finally resorted to prescription medications for the itching, which made her lethargic.
It's always just been a constant battle with both issues, and with minimal improvement, until we discovered PAWZ.
The Pawz Boots solved BOTH problems right away. I knew they would stop the allergies by preventing her feet from coming into contact with grass and other plants, and they work great in that regard. They also keep her feet dry, which is nice on those rainy days.
But I was elated to see that they also provide enough material between her paws and the substrate that she has no pain on our walks anymore. When she crossed a street before, she hobbled slowly and I sometimes had to carry her (45 lbs, not fun). People were always feeling sorry for her, and it was sad because she just wanted to trot along in that adorable jaunty Bull Terrier way. Now she RUNS across ashphalt and other surfaces that were painful for her without even a sign of discomfort. I can't even express how happy I am to see her running with her buddies and never falling behind from hobbling in pain anymore. No more sad looks from passers by, no more breaking my back carrying her porkbutt across the street, and no more sudden jolts of pain over every tiny pebble!
AND THEY STAY ON!!!!! They really do stay on through running, playing, rough housing, zoomies, bulldozing through bushes, hucklebutting, snow, rain, puddles.... I've never even had to adjust them during an outing, either.
Each pair has lasted about 6-10 uses for us. We walk about 75% on sidewalks for about 3 miles per day, and 25% running off leash and playing on grass and other park substrates. I think that's pretty good!
I did eventually buy the Jawz tool for putting the boots on, and I highly recommend it if you use Pawz often. With Jawz, it literally takes about 60 seconds to put all 4 boots on my pupper. It makes the process much more comfy for the dog, too.
In summary, Pawz are fantastic, and in my case they have fixed issues that have literally affected my puppers quality of life. No more insane foot chewing, and no more hobbling in pain for my little monster! 😄
