Thera Paw?

[Guest BlackandTan]

Does anyone know where I can get 2 Thera Paws or something comprable?

My big boy Gary has corns 0n 2 different feet. They seem to be sold out everywhere???

TheraPaw.com and the GEM Greyhounds Store.

Not therapaws but a shoe that has worked well for my corn boy is the summer shoe by Neopaws.com.

What size do you need? I may have a couple old ones laying around... Mind you, they're pretty worn looking, and I can't check for certain for a couple days. Just let me know and I can send them.

Our senior, Maya, suffers from corns, and we've come to depend on TheraPaws for her outside time! (We dremel and apply various creams, but they still hamper her outdoor abilities.) Sadly, it's time to order more (hers are WORN OUT) and TheraPaw is out of stock. (Amy @ TheraPaw said there was a manufacturing issue, and they're 6-8 out from having more in stock.)

 

BUT I FOUND SOME!

 

Jorgenson Labs Veterinary Supply (JorVet) had 16 of our size (T/E) in stock for $22.50 each. We bought 4 as we prep for an upcoming hiking trip to Colorado. If that's your size, CALL TODAY!! If not, they may have your size in stock, too. All the other distributors I called were out.

another vote for NeoPaws

in our experience, they stay on the foot better..

 

if the 2 feet are: both back,, or both front,, you can get only 2 shoes,,

otherwise you will need 4 - you wouldn't want Gary to be all lob-sidded,,

it could be back on his back.

[Guest BlackandTan]

Of course he has one in the front and one in the back....

^{What size should I order for him... Hes around 85lbs}

i think there are charts on both web sites that help determine the size you will need.

 

the people at neopaw was wonderful -- i just called and talked to them directly,, we figured it out, and 2 days later, my boy was wearing boots!

Here are some suggestions for dogs with painful paws (and their owners who have been looking for Thera-Paws).

1) For those of you with petite greyhounds, we still have some T/C size boots that we can expand to fit a petite grey girl.

2) Also, we can make some sheepskin slippers - these are heavily padded and inspired by my greyhound, Sunder, who lost 3 toes on one paw. He needed something heavily padded and that he could wear all day long. These can be worn outdoor as long as it's dry. I reinforce the sole with liquid rubber and/or duct tape as needed.

3) If you find boots that fit (I like Pawtrexx by Barko at www.alldogboots.com), we can modify them to help fit your dog better (e.g., more sturdy closure, shorted cuff for front paws). If they fit well and you just need some additional padding in the sole, I suggest thick sheepskin. I stock thick rolls of sheepskin, and can send you some peices that can be cut and inserted into any boot. Yes, the sheepskin can get wet but all you have to do is trade it in for a new piece. Alternatively, you can find sheepskin at www.tandyleatherfactory.com. Just look for "Select Saddle Shearling Sheepskin". It's about $10/sq ft. and it makes all the difference.

 

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Same here. We had a great experience with them. Sully has the summer shoes. I got a pair as he only had one corn on one front foot, so both front feet got shoes. At first he didn't like them, but he quickly figured out that shoes=walkies so he gets excited when he sees them because he knows he's going out. We've had them a few years now and they are still going strong. They have a rubber sole, so they wear very well.
