Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips for Dogs, Medium (15–39 lb) — Anti-Slip Nail Grips for Instant Traction

Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips are soft, slip-resistant nail caps that fit snugly on a dog's toenail tips to give immediate traction on hard floors.

If your dog hesitates on hardwood, tile, or laminate because of slipping or weak back legs, ToeGrips offer a non-invasive way to restore confident footing. Created by a veterinarian, these small rubber grips attach to the nail tip—where the paw meets the floor—so traction is regained without touching sensitive paw pads. This Medium size is intended for dogs with an ideal weight between 15 and 39 pounds and includes guidance for correct fit and application.

How do ToeGrips stop my dog from sliding on slick floors?

ToeGrips place a textured GripZone exactly where a hard nail meets a hard surface, functioning like tiny cleats. When the dog stands or steps, the GripZone contacts the floor first and prevents the nail from skidding, producing immediate, tactile traction.

• GripZone Technology targets the contact point of the nail and floor for reliable grip.
• Fits on each nail tip so traction is distributed across all feet for balance.
• Material is flexible and designed to engage only when weight is applied.

Will my dog tolerate wearing ToeGrips and how are they applied?

Most dogs acclimate quickly because the grips attach to the nail, not the paw pad, so there’s no constant pressure on sensitive areas. Proper application requires dampening the grips with isopropyl alcohol, stabilizing the toe, and pressing the ToeGrip onto the nail tip so the GripZone will contact the floor.

• Wet 16 ToeGrips in isopropyl rubbing alcohol before fitting.
• Stabilize each toe and press the grip until the nail tip is exposed.
• Do not push the bottom up the nail—GripZone must contact the ground.

Which dogs are best suited for the Medium size and when should I choose a different size?

The Medium set is generally sized for dogs with an ideal weight between 15 and 39 pounds, but nail shape and breed differences matter for an accurate fit. Use the brand’s size-by-weight and breed chart as a starting point, and expect the grips to fit snugly rather than slide on easily.

• Designed for 15–39 lb dogs—check breed chart for borderline cases.
• Should feel snug like supportive hosiery, not loose or easily removable.
• If unsure, measure nail diameter or consult the sizing guide before purchasing.

Are ToeGrips safe, and do veterinarians recommend them?

ToeGrips were developed by a veterinarian and are widely recommended as a non-invasive traction solution. They have been used on hundreds of thousands of paws to help dogs regain confidence on hard surfaces without surgery or medication.

• Recommended by many veterinarians for slipping, arthritic, and senior dogs.
• Non-slip material avoids irritation because it contacts only the nail tip.
• Used broadly for mobility support after injury or with age-related weakness.
