Why Socks for Dogs
What do socks do for dogs?
In general, socks can do many useful things, all helping to improve quality of life and mobility for dogs. Socks can provide traction on slick, indoor flooring. They can protect the floors and the furniture from nail marks. They can help wounds heal because they breathe, and they can keep dogs warm. Surprisingly, socks can help outdoors too by protecting paws from extreme heat, snow (plus salt and ice), and allergens. They can protect paws in rugged outdoor uses, and on abrasive surfaces like rocks, sand, and pool decks. Socks can protect paws from stickers too!
How do socks compare to other options, especially shoes?
Everyone knows dogs hate shoes! Why? Shoes have limited sizes, so it’s more difficult to get a good fit. Shoes are heavy, and they have a rubber sole that often doesn’t bend. Dogs can’t walk normally! Shoes utilize buckles, belts, or Velcro to keep them in place. Shoes are the opposite of socks in every possible way! Woodrow Wear’s Power Paws socks have 13 sizes across 2 very different foot shapes. This range of options ensures a good fit for all dogs from 6 or 7 pounds all the way to 230+ pounds! Socks are light and comfortable. They use elastic to hold the socks in place, so they fit like skin. Socks allow the dogs to walk normally, ensuring our 99.9% success rate. Need a cute, fun, comfortable indoor solution? We have that in a sock! Need a rugged, outdoor sock that will hold up to camping, hiking, and other rugged activities? We have that in a sock too!
Senior Dogs
Power Paws give senior dogs, particularly those with mobility issues like hip dysplasia or canine arthritis, extra traction. You may need just two socks for the back or use on all four paws. See customer reviews of Power Paws for Senior Dogs.
Made for Canine Arthritis
Woodrow himself used Power Paws for traction needs related to canine arthritis, and many of our customers’ dogs do, too. See how of our customers describe how Power Paws helps with canine arthritis.
For Traction on Slippery Floors
Age isn’t a factor in slippery floors. Young and old alike fear the shiny, slippery floors. Power Paws provide confidence and stability on hardwood, tile, and even linoleum. See our customers testimonials about using Power Paws for slippery floors. For this use, put Power Paws on all four of your dog’s paws.
To Protect for Hardwood Floors and Furniture
Refinishing hardwood is expensive and time consuming. Protect your hardwood floors against scratches and nail marks with Power Paws dog socks. In this case, put Power Paws on all four of your dog’s feet. We also suggest our Advanced socks which have a reinforced toe so the nail won’t come through.
For Three-legged Dogs
Many dog owners use Power Paws to give their Tri-Pawed dogs a little extra traction. See how customers describe using Power Paws non-slip socks with their 3-legged dogs.
For Outdoor Weather – Extreme Heat, Cold, and Allergens
Many of our customers use Power Paws dog socks to protect their dogs’ feet from weather – particularly very hot or very cold weather. Power Paws also protect dog feet from salt and from allergens. And they’re machine washable! See our customer testimonials about using Power Paws to protect from inclement weather and allergens.
For Wound Care and Protection
If the wound is on the paw, put a Power Paws sock on the injured paw. Power Paws are so soft and comfortable, so dogs tend to leave them (and the injured foot) alone. You may be able to remove the e-collar – a benefit for dog and owner! Vets and pet owners have achieved very good results. Use can be just one sock, or two or four for balance.
For Fashion, and Fun
All dogs enjoy looking good, and some dogs dress up daily. Power Paws come in colors and designs that compliment every dog’s style and personality. Seasonal colors are fun any time. We’ve also got cute girly colors, or manly colors for the boys, and colors to match a collar, coat, or an outfit. Wear all four socks for this use!
Because Socks are Easier, More Comfortable, and Liked by Almost Every Dog
