<p>We are now using Pawz booties (red, small, for Gwynnie's hindfeet; Al used blue mediums for front paws).</p>
<p>Seems to be working well.</p>
<p>I've always carried them for emergency paw injuries on hiking trips.</p>

<p>You would think there would be something on the market that might be easier to work with. There is something called Dr. Buzby's Toe-Grips that are used for helping older dogs maintain traction/footing on slick surfaces. I wonder if these would work to help with the nail wearing issue. </p>

<p>My invention has been a bit disappointing.</p>
<p>The plastic seems hard, but wears quickly on pavement.</p>
<p>So I added a second layer, making rather large bulbs of plastic, and I think they were too awkward. If you try this, do not make the caps any larger than those pictured here, and be very careful not to spill any glue on the fur or toes -- the thicker types of glue might be better. I got glue in some of the hair, matting it, and that seemed irritating.</p>

<p>Gwynnie developed a lot of irritation near them on her toes -- she was worrying them, chewing with her teeth, and I'd spilled some glue into the fur, making a mess. I just removed everything, and it took some doing with good cutting tools.</p>
<p>This method might be workable, but will require practice and skill. Thicker quick-setting glue might help; harder to spill on skin or fur. Perhaps Vet-Bond(TM) would be better (supposed to be less irritating). The caps should be kept small, and no longer than the claw itself.</p>
<p>The problem remains that if the dog starts chewing or worrying them, they are not easy to remove.</p>

<p>When at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again.</p>
