Get the Right Size
We want you to have the right size, because with the right size, the benefits of Power Paws will be beyond your wildest dreams! We will work with you to get that feeling!
Power Paws – in 8 sizes – fit virtually all dogs. Our first and most important comment on sizing is simple… just as not all people in your family have the same size feet, not all dogs of a particular breed have the same size feet! Despite this, with the help of the weight guide, the breed guide, and the foot print guide, we can give you the best chance at the right size the first time. If the size is not right, call us to arrange an exchange! Again, use our breed size and weight guide below then print our Paw Print Size guide (at 100%) as a check to help ensure your dog gets the best size! Call with questions…we’re here to help!
Our size guides are based on averages. Your dog’s feet may be special. For example,
- A 45-pound Basset Hound often wears an XL, not M as weight suggests, because Basset Hounds have wide feet.
- Greyhound breeds and poodles have physically different feet. We now carry Power Paws for Standard size Greyhounds and Poodles. Please contact us if your dog is a smaller Poodle, Italian Greyhound, Whippet or any of the smaller “hare-footed” breeds. We will work with you to find a size that may work or invite you to participate in our coming product trials.
Power Paws look small, but do stretch a lot. A loose fit will slide around the foot and not provide traction!
If the size is right, Power Paws will stay on when playing, climbing stairs, walking, etc. A proper fit is a snug, stretched sock allowing the elastic to hold the sock in place.
- A good fit is snug. You can put a finger in the sock. It will stay in place while playing, walking, climbing stairs.
- The sock is too small if you can’t put it on your dog’s foot no matter how much you stretch it.
- The sock is too large if it flops, falls off, sags.
- The sock is close to fitting if it twists but doesn’t fall off immediately. If it rotates so the grip is on the side or top of try the washing instructions on the Q&A page. If this doesn’t help, call us for an exchange.
