Has anyone tried something like this before?

Hilo slips all around on the wood floors. I'm worried it's gonna hurt him. We have tried putting rugs down but he doesn't seem to use them so we saw these in a catalog and was considering purchasing them. What do you guys think?
Could you imagine putting those on a Shikoku?

They kinda freak me out.
But then again I used to put soft paws on my cats. Similar concept.
brad- the thing is how to put those pads on your babies feet? some kind of glue?
how about skin? their feet just like us, some times sweaty, also the skin tissue get old, deads,grow new...
day after day, all the moisture and dead skin tissue will deposit underneath, between the pad and skin, that is not good. ---- my foolish thought.
i have thought about boots, so you can put it on and take it off, that way, will not cause future skin problem, but may be they don't like boots since they are very active. sigh.
My thoughts?
He'll chew them off. If you want to put something on his feet, try what show dog people use - it's called ShowFoot. Helps with traction. It's just a spray, and won't be as likely to irritate his feet.
When Jack was having issues, I went to Lowes and bought gray interlocking pads. I can take them and hose them down, and it helped spare the hardwood and helped him stand on tile.
I think there might be some dog "booties" out there that have traction on them, they would ahdere to the pad at all. However a lot of dogs don't like them, but I can't see a dog liking these things either.
please let us know how it works, i really need some thing for my future pup. in the winter, too much sult on the road and side walks, how dogs be able to walk on the sult and not get sore feet?
For the winter pad protection buy Musher's Secret. It's a great product, but it wont work to stop a dog from sliding, only protects from salt/cold/heat.
thanks brandon.
