Anti-slip spray for older dog on wooden floors?

Tilytally

Hi there,

Would anyone have suggestions on an anti-slip spray or balm for an older labrador who has been slipping on wooden floors lately? I've googled it but would appreciate anyone's first hand experience with the sprays/balms. I am looking for something lick proof and natural ingredients. I have read that beeswax is an excellent anti-slip ingredient.

No experience of sprays / balms as I always found balms made the floors more slippy..

I got this stuff for my dog who had hip dysplasia- it’s good but is hard to get onto the pads if your dogs not cooperate

I also used these:

But my guys nails were too short for them ...

Found these the best:

Otherwise yoga mats are supposed to be a big help / put rugs down

Thanks for the information, that's really helpful. I'm going to look into getting the paw friction stuff I think, I have a feeling our chap would try to eat the toe covers off.

+ 1 for the yoga mats, we place them where the dogs sleep and in areas of the apartment they like to lie & we taped them down so they don’t move.

I find runners better than yoga mats. They’re not slippy when wet and also because we’re still finding bits of yoga mat from when I had them down months ago! I’ve also been trying toe grips for Bailey and was surprised by how long they’ve lasted and how well they work. You need a cooperative dog for them though - Bailey isn’t mad about me touching his toes so it took me a few days doing a few a a time.
