Application Directions

Step 1: Trim
Start by trimming your dog’s nails and the hair between their pads if necessary. A simple, inexpensive trimmer works well for this.

Step 2: Clean
Clean your dog’s pads using water or rubbing alcohol, ensuring they are completely dry before moving on.

Step 3: Prepare the Tray
Line the tray thoroughly with PawFriction traction granules. Make sure to replenish the granules as needed to maintain an even surface.

Step 4: Prepare the Adhesive
Cut the tip of the adhesive tube about one-third of the way down at a 45-degree angle.

Step 5: Applying the Adhesive
With the tray positioned underneath your dog's paw, gently bend their leg at the knee. Apply a thin layer of PawFriction adhesive to the paw pads, focusing on the areas that will touch the ground. Be careful to avoid getting any on your dog’s fur.

Step 6: Applying the Granules
Straighten your dog’s leg back into a standing position and press their paw into the tray. Lift it and press down again, holding for 30 seconds to allow proper adhesion.

Step 7: Clean and Repeat
Gently brush off any excess granules from your dog’s paw, then repeat the process for each leg.

Step 8: Treat Time
Don’t forget to reward your dog with a treat for their good behavior! Store any leftover granules and adhesive for your next application.
