Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips Application Results in Minimal Changes in Kinetic Gait Parameters in Normal Dogs.

Poor traction on slick surfaces is difficult for dogs with neurologic deficits, osteoarthritis, or recovering from injury or surgery. Many dogs respond inappropriately to slick surfaces by decreasing digital pad-floor contact and extending their toenails. A device marketed to increase paw-floor friction in dogs was evaluated.
