I bought my dog James some Hot Doggers indoor boots. He is a 12 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, and his back legs have become very wobbly and weak lately. He found it difficult to walk on our wood floors and kept falling over and becoming distressed. Poor James was marooned on a rug when he was indoors. James has never been a dog for accessories so I wasn't sure how the Hot Doggers would go. I put them on him when they arrived and encouraged him to stand up. When he did, and tried them out on the floor he was off! It's great to see him wandering around the house and hanging out in the kitchen with me again. They've given an old dog a new lease of life!

I had a stroke and was totally paralysed on one side of my body. Once I started moving again, I kept slipping on the floor tiles and the back deck as I had no strength in my legs to help me stand. My Mum put me in these boots as they have rubber soles which provided traction and helped me stand so I could keep my balance. They also helped build up the strength in my legs because they grabbed the floor. Don't know what I would have done without my Hot Doggers. Saved my life!
