Boot for Paw Protection

[AmyMay]

What boot would you guys recommend for a foot that’s been badly cut and had the nail removed??

 

[Red-1]

Hekkie has some from Amazon, red neoprene with black rubber treads. Heck only uses them because we have neighbours for the first time in 20 years, and they have dogs so he was guarding what used to be his yard and now is not. We have gravel and he was racing up and down. He got so sore he was limping. They have solved the issue.

They stay on as long as they are put on carefully.

Mr Red is just trying to find out the make...

.....Petilleur Protector dog boots.

Thanks Red, that’s really helpful. I’ve passed the info on.

We use pro active pawz on our lab who gets sore paws if we do mega walks on holiday. They’re like empty balloons so stay on well and are waterproof. Got ours from
Amazon 😊

Ah, my current specialist subject 🙄

Ruffwear gets my vote.
You can also improvise and/or layer with poo bags and Vetwrap for the ultimate damp-proof experience.

May I also recommend some earplugs for the amateur operatic performances and some Deep Heat for yourself, after you've wrestled your dog, masquerading as an un-cooperative baritone brick wall, into a position where you can actually properly attend to his damned foot, which would heal much faster if he left it alone.

Pass the wine....

Pen has a cut pad at the moment, and I feel your pain. Although she goes more for the condemned dog led to the slaughter attitude. At least she weighs less than 20kgs. She is assembling a photographic portfolio for animal charities.

And he puked all over his bed this morning. Give. Me. Strength.

I’ve been through a multitude of dog boots/socks/wraps, trying to find something that will work for one of the working collies who is missing toes and part of a pad. It’s a nightmare!

I’ve got a therapet boot on order so I’ll let you know what it’s like when it arrives.

Thanks Moobli. It’s actually for a collie, and whilst he’ll stay on lead until healed just trying to think of ways to protect the paw to avoid the wrapping fight.

My specialist subject too!! Another vote for Ruffwear.
Peril's puncture wound, metatarsal artery exposed, partial deglove. We have trained her to sit on a towel to be attended to when she injures herself...when I was folding the laundry the other day I dropped a towel and she immediately ran to it and sat on it 😂

Our beloved Spot, she wore boots whenever the footpaths were gritted. 😍🐾💔

Also my recent specialist subject. I can also recommend Pro- Active Paws dog Boots, got ours direct from manufacturers in Ireland who designed them when they could not find anything suitable for their own dog with problems. Well worth reading up on all the info on their site. One thing to bear in mind though is that a badly cut pad takes a very long time to heal, our dog's pad took 6 weeks and then the pad needs to harden up and you do need a bigger boot over dressings and a smaller one when the dressings come off ! We got through several tubes of medical grade manuka honey, and then used Equinat Ultrasalve ointment, lots of melolin dressings, gamgee to hold dressing in place and to cushion the leg under the vetwrap bandages. Small cushioned trainer socks were very useful over the the bandages for further protection and a strong cut to size plastic bag over the top to go in garden, secured with a velcro strap. Lots of warm salty water soaking in a bowl is also recommended. Defo not easy with a dog that does not like having an injury dealt with ! Needed 2 of us, a muzzle and lots of time and patience and a cushioned blow up neck collar for nights and when left. When it was on the mend we sat with him on our knees with no dressings on for ages to let air get round it whilst keeping it clean as it bothered him wearing bandages for so long. It has healed well though with no infection which was the main worry. Absolute nightmare, hope we never have to go through a cut pad ever again. P.S. The non chew bandages did not work for our dog !

Think it was from Pets at Home, Bear ripped open his pad on Christmas Eve (out of hours, of course!)
