Healthy paws are fundamental for any dog to thrive and be active. Paw socks are the best preventive measure to protect them. You should asses the terrain before you start your workout or hike, and sock your dog before injuries occur if the ground is demanding. If the dog has got sore paws, socks can be useful to protect cracks and wounds. Socks do get worn. We use durable materials, and our socks are relatively long-lasting.
