I looked into these but decided they were too much of a pain for me(I'm lazy!)….I got these instead for Maggie when slippery floors are unavoidable for her:

They basically look like little balloons on and off the dog! But they work really well. I have had Maggie on tiled floors and hardwood floors and she's been totally fine with her footing with them.
