My aging tripod refuses to accept his limitations and was always running and jumping, then falling and sliding on the wood floors in my house. I decided to give this a try, honestly not expecting much, but it works!!! I rub it on his paws every night (making sure to get each pad) and I haven't seen him slide once in the week we've been doing that.

It IS a bit hard - as in doesn't glide on as easily as many paw balms - but I think this is due to the wax content, which is of course the most important part. My dog hasn't been interested in licking it off at all, and I haven't seen any residue on my floors. This is a lifesaver for me - he has accidents in the house so rugs aren't ideal. Also, he has a lot of environmental allergies, and this does not seem to aggravate any of them.

Our senior girl recently hurt her back at the groomers (fell off the table :( which made it difficult for her to get up off non-carpeted surfaces. The slipping around of her back legs exacerbated the back pain, which put her in an endless cycle. It got to the point that she wouldn't even walk on hardwood or tile and would literally gingerly go from bedroom, to area rug to runner, to bedroom... Our holistic vet recommended this product, though he'd not used it before. I have applied it nightly for five or six days now and she's just now become much more confident walking on non-carpeted areas again. In fact, starting yesterday she started playing indoor "fetch" again, without slipping! Another bonus is that she doesn't try to lick her pads after applying, like she does when I apply salmon-flavored CBD to her joints! LOL! I plan on giving our vet the update on our experience at our next visit this month.

This seems to work well to make the floors less slick.
I got it because it isn't an aerosol like others, which my dog doesn't like.

My 65lb. Collie with hip dysplasia and my hardwood floors do not make a good pair. She would scramble like Bambi multiple times a day to go pull security at anything passing by our window. This product really does give her quite the grip to not slide all over! Now she can “clock-in” safely lol.

I found rubbing it onto my hand first to warm up and then massaging on to her paw pads was the easiest way to apply. You don’t need much and bonus points for how moisturizing it is and protective from winter salt. She didn’t lick at her paws or seem to mind it.

I appreciate all of the ingredients this product has. I just don't see much improvement in his being able to get up on a non carpeted floor...it could be many reasons. But you said to be honest. My suggestion would be to change the delivery system so that more product is easily accessible...thank you!
