Product description
Help your dog roam your home without fear of slipping
At Dr. Buzby’s, we believe every dog deserves to roam their home without fear of slipping, sliding, or splaying on hard floors. Restoring your dog’s confident mobility is our passion. With ToeGrips, your dog can put their best paw forward and rediscover happiness with every step.
Meet Dr. Julie Buzby, Founder of ToeGrips
Dr. Julie Buzby is a practicing integrative veterinarian and founder of Dr. Buzby’s ToeGrips.
She has always had a soft spot in her heart for senior dogs and has dedicated her life to their care. This passion sparked the Buzby brand mission:
To create trusted products that turn back the clock for senior dogs so they can feel their best at every age. Because their best life is your best life.
Inspired by the natural way dogs walk
Dogs use their nails for traction. They flex their paws and engage their nails like soccer cleats digging into the ground. But hard nails can’t grip hard floors.
Without traction, dogs flounder and flail on slick floors. It’s scary for dogs and heartbreaking to watch.
ToeGrips stop the slip by creating the game-changing GripZone—targeted traction at the exact point where dogs needs it.
ToeGrips fit on your dog’s toenails and don’t cover your dog’s paws. The non-slip nail grips enable instant traction by creating the “GripZone” between your dog’s nails and hard-surface floors and stairs. With better grip, your dog has instant freedom and newfound confidence.
Why your dog will love Dr. Buzby’s ToeGrips—the original dog nail grips
COMFORTABLE TO WEAR
99% of dogs don’t even seem to notice their ToeGrips because they sit on the insensitive nail tips and do not contact the skin.
TRACTION THAT TRAVELS
No more isolation on “rug island.” ToeGrips fit on the nails for traction that travels with your dog.
NATURAL CONFIDENCE BOOST
With better grip, your dog feels confident again. And that means happiness for both ends of the leash.

The Only Toenail Grips for Dogs With GripZone Technology: ToeGrips fit snugly on each nail tip, acting like a rubber cleat. Pinpointed exactly where your dog’s hard nail contacts the hard floor, the GripZone provides targeted traction on slippery surfaces for instant grip. When your furry friend rises and walks, the GripZone immediately engages the hard floor. The outcome? Your furry bestie doesn’t have to slip and slide and live in fear of wiping out.
Customers say
Customers find the toe grips work well for senior dogs, helping them move around the house with more confidence. However, the product’s sturdiness receives negative feedback, with customers reporting that they fall off after a couple of days. Moreover, customers disagree on the ease of application, with some finding them easy to put on while others find them difficult. Additionally, the slip resistance and grip aspects show mixed results – while some customers report their dogs haven’t slipped at all on wooden floors, others say they don’t help at all. The value for money is criticized, with customers finding it too expensive for rubber bands.

Do your old dog a favor and buy these!
TLDR: These give old dogs new life and are well worth every penny, buy them. These are the original patented products, not a knock-off. Be sure to actually measure nail circumference before ordering and keep those nails and fur on the bottom of the feet as short as you can!Our ~13-year-old rescue, Rocky, could barely stand or walk on the wood and tile floors in our new house. On the day we moved in, he slid down half a flight of stairs backward while trying to get to the second floor (luckily he slid slowly and was not hurt). Later that same day he got stuck laying down on the kitchen floor because he couldn’t get any traction to get his feet under him and stand. It was very much ‘Bambi on ice” but more sad.I began looking for options and found a lot of products from which to choose. Most of them involved adhering something to the pads of the dog’s paws. Rocky is very tolerant of us touching (most) of his paws, but he does not like things on his feet. I knew sticking something to the pads would just give him something to chew at for a while and not help with the traction issue.I then found Dr. Buzby’s ToeGrips as well as several other similar products. Both Dr. Buzby’s and another Dr’s products claimed to be patented. I decided to do some digging through Google patents and it turns out these are the only two products that are in fact patent-protected for this purpose, with Dr. Buzby’s having been first and the other somewhat similar (but clearly inferior – more on that below) product coming along later.Why does a patent matter? Because it means you are getting a genuine product that has been researched and invested in instead of a knock-off product made of who-knows-what materials. Purchasing the genuine product also rewards the folks who actually did the work to develop the product as opposed to rewarding someone who simply tried to copy it by producing an inferior product for a quick profit. If you want something that works, go with the original. If you want to waste money, buy the knock-off.But if there are two patent-protected dog toenail cover products (what an amazing time to be alive!), what makes Dr. Buzby’s better? The design. These slip over the nails and hold tightly for quite some time, even after walks around the yard and through the woods. But they can be removed as easily as they are put on – which we have to do about every 3 weeks to get Rocky’s nails trimmed. The other patented design requires you to first shape the dog’s nails with a dremel/rotary tool (Rocky is not having that) and then glue the cover onto the nail. If you need to take them off, just get the dremel back out and cut them off(?!?). Those are the actual instructions. Do Dr. Buzby’s ToeGrips sometimes come off on their own? Yes – but that is more of a feature than a bug. It is much easier to put one back on (or use one of the extras that are included in each package) than to have to cut them off.All of that said, Dr Buzby’s ToeGrips are not magic – you do have to follow instructions to ensure success. Be sure to order the correct size by first measuring the circumference of every nail (yes, all 16 – you may need two different sizes). We found this to be easier than expected – just grab a paw, wrap a piece of dental floss around a nail, mark it and measure the distance. Doing this once for all nails took less than 5 minutes total and allowed us to pick the correct size ToeGrips for Rocky. If you do not do this, you likely will not order the correct size and it will either be impossible to get them on or impossible to keep them on. Second, put them on as shown in the instructions that come in the package – make sure the ToeGrip is making contact with the floor otherwise it can’t do its job.It is also important to keep your dog’s nails trimmed to an appropriate length. Cleaning up any long fur on the bottom of the paw is also very helpful. The combination of those three things has completely changed Rocky’s life in our new home.So – yes, there are lots of products out there that claim to do what Dr. Buzby’s ToeGrips do. I have not tried all of them, so I cannot say that none of the rest work. I can say with absolute certainty that these do work, incredibly well and instantly. Literally, as soon as you put them on, your dog will be able to walk more easily. They are worth every penny. If you have an old dog who is struggling to get around on slick surfaces, you have found the solution!

Pretty much what every other 1 star reviewer has said, with our storyING NIGHTMARE. Have you ever tried to put sticky-as-all-get-up superglue on a fidgety dog’s claws? I have now. It’s no picnic. After trying to do three of these dang things I gave up. Add another $3.99 for the bottle of nail polish remover we had to buy for the clean-up.Bottom line: a) Too expensive… WAY TOO expensive for the limited quantity of these you get. b) They’re hard to impossible to apply. And, c) they worked marginally well for him… when they’d stay on.It’s a shame to see a veterinarian playing on our love for our weakened pet to make a HUGE profit.
FORTY DOLLARS… for this?! A tiny zip lock bag with 20 little rubberbands in it. These things can’t cost them more than a nickel or so to manufacture. You get 20 of them, which would make the markup 3900%! OK, OK, OK, price markup may not be as much of an issue if it’s a quality product. Well, it kind of does in this case because of the limited quantity you get, combined with the “lose-ability” of them.How it all went down… We have a 12-year-old French Bulldog that’s about 27 lbs., so we ordered the Medium size. We soaked them in rubbing alcohol as recommended, but they were still a huge pain in the tail to put on. They seemed to be on relatively well, per the picture in the instructions. They made a slight difference in his gait. (His back legs still slid around a bit.) The problem is, they don’t stay on. After an hour, 4 were missing. Tried a couple of times to reattach them (after searching for 35 minutes to find the ones that fell off). 2 different ones fell off after another 1/2 hour. So, we took to the internet to do some research, and there’s Dr. Buzby recommending that we use superglue — SUPERGLUE — on our dog’s claws to keep them on. Wait… what about the potential irritation it might cause with his paws? Well, she’s a vet, so it must be OK, right? WHAT A

I wanted to love these
My poor dog started having trouble standing on my wood floor a few months ago. An ad for these popped up on my social media account and at first I thought they were a joke based on how they looked. But upon looking further, I thought they actually might help my dog when she tried to get up. These provide traction which is what she needed. Yes, they seemed a bit pricey. But if it helped my girl I was willing to give them a shot. Here’s what I experienced trying them out and accompanying star ratings.1) Putting them on. Two stars. This was NOT EASY because I had to manipulate my girl’s toes to try to put these on snugly. I got two feet done and she was shaking so badly I stopped trying.2) Helping my girl. Easy five stars. These actually did help her stand more easily. They gripped the floor and stopped the sliding.3) Length of use. One star. Within two days. All but two of these had fallen off. I considered using an adhesive to get them to stay on longer, but putting them on very recently had been so traumatic for her I didn’t want to try again.4) Aftermath. No rating. For two months I was finding these in the yard. Seems they just fell off in random places and not, for example, near the concrete steps or an area where she might be playing. They just dropped off, one by one, in short order.5) Overall. Three stars. They’re a great idea and do work if you ignore any difficulty putting them on or keeping them on. However, that’s over half the battle. I’d rate them lower but they were so successful while on that I gave them an extra star. If these could’ve made with some kind of internal adhesive they might be gold.

My dog hates it when I touch his paws/ nails, but with some help distracting and patience I was able to put the ToeGrips on. They work great! My baby doesnât slip and fall on the hardwood floor anymore, I highly recommend (it also helps that I shave the fur under his paw pads to help with extra grip) I will be buying more when these wear out. I recommend checking out the Dr Buzbyâs ToeGrips website for instructions on putting them on and taking off, they also have more resources on there.
Amazon Kunde –
Es erfüllt wirklich seinen Zweck und mein Hund merkt nicht dass er sie dran hat. Sterneabzug wegen dem Preis, drauf machen ist auch mühsam und der Hund verliert sie extrem schnell. Gott sei Dank bei uns in der Wohnung. So kann ich sie nochmal verwenden.
Andy –
Maybe better suited to smaller dogs. Expensive for what they were.
Antony Day –
These made a dramatic difference immediately, our golden retriever was more confident and didn’t slip on our bamboo flooring. We only use on her back legs to save on cost and that’s all that’s needed.

Very hard to put on our Medium size dogs nails and they all fell off within a few days. Not a great long lasting solution. Super expensive for what they are. Do not recommend.
