My senior dog often slips on hard floors. Are there solutions for better grip?

[]

Answer

Aging dogs can lose muscle mass and coordination, making hard floors challenging. Consider using non-slip rugs or runners, especially in high-traffic areas. Paw balms or grip-enhancing paw pads designed for dogs can also provide traction. Regular nail trims are important as long nails can also reduce grip. Gentle exercise helps maintain muscle strength. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
