My dog has very severe hind end lameness and neuropathy. I’ve put rugs everywhere in my house but he still finds those corners that aren’t covered and even slips on the rug. With Clawgs, he is able to navigate the house confidently. I also think they give him more proprioceptive awareness of his feet because his gate is much less stiff when he wears them.
He has never tolerated shoes but was (somewhat) more receptive to these initially, but not much. I kept with it and after a few weeks I think he’s learned that life is so much better with them on and he no longer fusses when I go to put them on.
Very easy to put on! I bought them because my dog usually curls her paw so we can't put shoes on her but since these "wrap around" they only take a minute to put on! She also walks normally in these and doesn't show signs of discomfort.
These dog shoes are simply the best out there. Compact, flexible, easy to put on and take off, and my dog walks normally in them within seconds. I love the new fastening mechanism on the V3s, and they seem even more comfortable to my dog. They didn’t fall off or even need to be adjusted once during a very long day of walking around on hot pavement, and not a trace of any chafing or uncomfortable rubbing on my dog’s paws! Gone are the days of constantly fussing with my boy’s shoes and making sure we still have all 4 every couple minutes.
I can’t thank Dog Sap enough for their amazing product and stellar customer service.
We’re loving our Clawgs for our two corgis! These stay on so much better than any other shoe we have tried. Their generous return policy helped us lock in the proper sizing for both our dogs. The durability seems great so far- even after putting them to the test with some steep and rocky hikes! Our pups generally hate having clothes put on but they easily tolerate the Clawgs. These are the first shoes that they haven’t “high-stepped” in, and they’re even starting to get excited when we get them out of the cabinet! They’re starting to understand that Clawgs mean fun adventures.
I am so pleased with my SAP Clawgs.
I originally ordered 4 sets (2 sets per dog), and then had to order another 2 for my new foster fail. Turn around time in the order was very prompt!
When I put in my initial order, I measured their paws as instructed. Their paws seemed to fall in between sizes, so I went with the larger. I should have gone with the smaller. Fortunately, with the new addition to our pack and additional order, I only had to exchange one set for a smaller size. Again, customer service was fantastic.
These are such a lifesaver for me. I'm the Arizona summer, the pavement is 30-40 degrees hotter than the air temp, making severe burns a possibility and reality for many people. I used to have to skip our morning walks in the summer if I overslept so they wouldn't get hurt (at least physically--they are always crushed when we skip a walk!). Now we can take a walk, and take the time to smell all the smells, even if it's after 9 am.
When you get them, it does take a few minutes to get them properly fit and secured. Once you get your Clawgs fit, the dogs do walk normally in about 30 seconds. None of that silly paw shaking like in other booties.
The extra couple of minutes (remember, I have three to get set up) before we head out for a walk is well worth it!
If you're heading out for a hike, I'd shoe up in the car when you get to your destination so your canine companion doesn't chew anything they shouldn't during the car ride.
Bottom line, well worth the investment!
Massive well done to the designer of clawgs!!
My dog is a 14.5 year old spaniel with arthritis & sores on the underside of her paws which shes having vet treatment for.
But I wanted something to protect the underside of her paws on walks. All the boots I’ve tried either don’t fit properly, keep falling off, or cause sores.
Clawgs are a game changer!!
I’m in the UK, ordered on Tuesday & they arrived at my door in the UK on Friday, brilliant service!!
It took a couple of test walks to get use to the initial adjustments around the wrists to make them fit probably, but I’m really impressed.
My dog is used to wearing other boots so walked well in them straight away, but these are so much better!
Her claws are free from the pressure of a boot, but the soles are nicely protected. The soles aren’t thick & bulky, but are definitely enough to protect the sores on her paws from uneven gravel, & other debris on the ground. She walks normally in them, no limping or awkwardness I’ve had with other boots/socks.
I’ve been using them everyday for a week now, they never fall off even when running through long wet grass, & she seems really comfortable in them, runs around as normal & never stops to fuss at her paws.
They even stayed on when she couldn’t resist going through the deep mud (we get lots in the UK).
Initially I tried the v2 design which are great but the v3 are definitely a superior model. The v3 are so much easier to get on & off & the buckle placement is higher & less bulky. I love that you don’t have to do them up tightly too.
I was a little concerned initially that the buckle may rub, & was expecting her to be licking any sore areas as soon as I took them off. But nothing, she doesn’t fuss about them at all & no licking!
They are absolutely brilliant!!
I never normally leave reviews, but definitely think these are worth shouting about!! I can’t fault them!
I work with rehabilitating injured dogs so will definitely be recommending these to anyone who needs paw protection!
Thank you so much clawgs, & well done to the designer!!!
