What are some things that can be done to help my tripawd not slip on hardwood floors???

Hi Asia, thanks for posting. Keep in mind that all of these helpful conversations are happening at Circle, so go register and we'll continue supporting you. We would love to hear more about your Tripawd over there!
As far as no-slip surfaces, our #1 recommendation is no-slip carpet runners. It's the easiest thing for everyone. Also, Dr. Buzby's Toe Grips are fantastic for dogs that will allow someone to apply them. They are not a permanent solution but they stay on longer with a dab of super glue and are super helpful as well.
Booties are not really our top recommendation. They can certainly help, but they are a pain to remember to put on, sometimes slide around, and dogs really don't like not feeling the ground with their paw pads. So for some cases carrying a set around is wise (after training your dog at home with them), just in case you encounter slippery floors. But for everyday traction at home, carpet runners are the way to go.
See you at the Tripawds Circle!
