Hi there,

Our lovely 120-lb Leonberger Rufa was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his front right leg last week and is scheduled for his amputation surgery in 2 days. We are scrambling to get everything ready for him, but we also have hardwood floors throughout our house and he tends to slip at times even 4 legs, so I can't imagine what it's going to be like with 3! His paws have been nicely trimmed recently but I want to help to provide more traction for him.

I've been reading about the Ruff Wear harnesses and like the sounds of the Webmaster Pro and also the Summit Trex booties. I've been looking online like crazy but I can't seem to find boots that will literally "fit the bill" - his paw width is 4.0" and the biggest I can find is 3.25". If anyone has any they are looking to find a good home for (and who would be willing to ship to Canada at my cost), we would greatly appreciate it. Also, I would be sure to pay it forward to someone else on this site when we will no longer need them. Thanks so much!

On The Road

The Webmaster is indeed the most popular harness we recommend for most tripawds. You will find a list of international dealers and Ruffwear store finder in the gear blog.

If you find any boots that large, let us know! You might consider trying Pawz booties or traction socks first, and check out the various other traction recommendations.
