My big old dog is weak in the hind end and getting wobbly on wood floors. He really does have some traction with this product. I had to apply with him lying down (like the pic). He’s pretty chill. I cut the tube end at an angle so that I could just lightly rub the glue on with the flat side of the angle one paw pad at a time, making sure it didn’t get too close to paw edges. Then I dribbled the sand onto the glue applied paw pad, over the bin. Pretty easy. Not messy as I had a good hold on the paw!
I’ve had zero problem with paw pad issues. It lasts about 3-7 days.
