Senior and disabled dogs may lose traction and the ability to navigate smooth surfaces like they used to.
PawFriction is a paw pad coating system designed to improve quality of life for senior dogs and dogs with orthopedic or neurological conditions. PawFriction decreases sliding on smooth floors, increases mobility, and reduces risk of injury.

For aging pets, mobility is life. Muscle loss, arthritis, orthopedic/neurologic issues, and general aging can cause dogs to have significant mobility problems, especially on hardwood and other smooth floors. PawFriction was created to give your senior dog a new lease on life by giving them the ability and confidence to get around. PawFriction immediately restores your dog's traction without the need for individual sizing or placing objects over the foot.

PawFriction is most effective for dogs with:

Arthritis and old age
Neurologic conditions: degenerative myelopathy, disc disease, lumbosacral instability, brain tumors, Wobbler's
Orthopedic issues: fractures, ACL injuries, patella luxation
Postoperative recovery: back surgery, knee surgery (TPLO, TTA, lateral suture), amputations
Confidence issues: reluctant to walk on smooth floors
Increasing the success of rehabilitation or physical therapy
Other conditions that can make walking on smooth floors difficult

Why it Works
Use It or Lose It
Without use, muscles lose their tone and flexibility and atrophy over time. Unfortunately, many degenerative diseases worsen without movement and exercise.

PawFriction allows your dogs to use their muscles as they normally would, enabling them to strengthen and help fight off orthopedic, neurological and degenerative diseases such as arthritis and dysplasia. In addition, your vet may recommend PawFriction as part of their post-operative rehabilitation. PawFriction enhances your dog’s downward leg force by preventing lateral slipping and splay-legging increasing mobility and confidence.

How to apply -

Depending on your dog’s size and activity level.
Each application should last 7 days on average.
There are 2 to 4 applications per package.
Although having the dog stand during application is ideal, some pets will respond better while lying down. Depending on your dog’s temperament, you may need another person to help either process.

Standing Application Directions
Step 1: Trim
Clip your dog’s nails, if needed as well as the hair between your dog’s pads. An inexpensive trimmer works great.

Step 2: Clean
Clean your dog’s pads with water or rubbing alcohol. Make sure the pads are completely dry before proceeding.

Step 3: Prepare the Tray
Prepare the tray by lining it completely with the blue PawFriction traction granules. Replenish the granules as needed throughout the process to ensure even application.

Step 4: Prepare the Adhesive
Simply cut the tip of the adhesive tube 1/3 way down the tip at a 45-degree angle.

Step 5: Applying the Adhesive
With the tray underneath the paw, gently bend your dog’s leg at the knee and apply a thin layer of the PawFriction adhesive to the paw pads. Focus on the areas that contact the ground, and avoid getting any in your dog’s hair.

Step 6: Applying the Granules
Immediately straighten your dog’s leg back into standing position and press the entire paw into the PawFriction tray. Lift the paw and press it down again. Hold for 30 seconds.

Step 7: Clean and Repeat
Gently brush excess PawFriction granules off your dog’s paw and repeat the process for each leg.

Step 8: Treat Time
Reward your dog’s good behavior with a treat, and store leftover granules and adhesive for your next application.

Lying Down Application Directions
Step 1: Trim
Clip your dog’s nails, if needed as well as the hair between your dog’s pads. An inexpensive trimmer works great.
