does this keep dogs from biting their feet?

If you purchase the correct size (go to the Comfy Cone website to see how to properly measure) your dog should not be able to reach anything - including its paws. I bought mine for my Black Lab who has issues with his paws and it stopped his constant licking. Good Luck!

We bought this cone (Small 12.5 cm) for our miniature poodle puppy who weighs 6 pounds. It was not long enough to prevent him from biting his feet. We then purchased the "Small-Long" size of the Comfy Collar which was long enough. However, I do not recommend the Comfy Collar design because of the frightening velcro sounds, claustrophobic sides collapsing against the ears, and fabric picking up muck in the yard that is not as easy to clean as the plastic cone models.

Well, your dog will have a hard time getting to its paws. I have a smallish dog with short legs and while she did try to lick her paws, the collar would get in the way. I imagine that even if you had a big , strong dog, it would still be difficult since the collar (while soft) is not as flexible as it may look. The trick is making sure the collar is large enough to fit beyond the dogs nose.

Possibly, if you had a short leg breed like dachound or Corgi it might work. If you had a dog with longer legs like a lab or golden retriever I'm not sure it would keep them from chewing their legs or feet

I would not use this product to keep a dog from nipping. This product does an amazing job keeping both my dogs from pulling, however they are still able to open their "mouths" widely.

I don't think so. I live in NE PA & we've been getting very cold temps lately. My Chihuahua mix was more concerned with the rock salt than the cold. He doesn't seem to mind the cold on his paws as long as he's bundled up with heavy clothing. Lined booties are probably the only thing if your dog needs warmth for his paws.

Yes. It also protects from sharp bends in very cold weather. I have 3 of these that I have had for years. They are in my community cat winter shelters. The cats love them. They keep the cats feet dry and warm. An the cats have never let a mouse in my house.

I do not believe these would prevent the dog from chewing, when My dog did have something bothering him, he did pull it off. Sounds like medicine is needed. Good Luck

It will reduce the ability for any animal to cause injury. Because it is a thick fabric material a dogs claw may be able to "Rub" through the fabric is scratching hard enough, where as plastic collars will be more resistant to that. for Hind leg scratching to the face I would not recommended for front paws Yes I would...Good luck

I got mine for my collie who chews her front and back feet. This did not help. She was able to reach back with this on. The collar the vets have you buy for the dogs after surgery is the one that works but I have trouble seeing her in that as it really restricts her movements. I now use baby booties when she is in the house and at night.

Yes they stayed on my dogs' feet. You just have to make sure to tightly velcro it.

I don't believe it did anything to keep the paws warm, but it certainly worked well to smooth the paws and keep them from drying out. This was true both thru the winter and the summer.

My cocker still chews her feet a bit. I notice that she doesn't have tummy trouble any more - has helped her digestive system.

Dear Jenna,We sometimes would use one boot when our GSD's pads would get cut from rough rock in Hawaii. We had hardwood floors, and the boots have enough grip for walking. Our dog (really he is our son's service dog) was used to having his pads massaged, so he did not mind the boots. The boots will come off when running, but stay on most of the time. I bought these because it was the preferred boot for military working dogs in Afghanistan. Hope this helps, and best wishes as you care for your fur friend.very sincerely,Stephen

Part of it will depend on the size of your dog. I used this for my cat, who is taller and longer than all three of my other cats. After a week or two, he was able to figure out how to get to his paws. I might suggest adding some of the pet self-stick bandage on the paw. Between the two it should discourage the licking.

Depends on where you are talking about. If your dog has longer foot hair then I would suggest using a baby sock by cutting a small hole in the tip to get the nail through. I have a Bichon Frise so his tail has gotten caught before so I totally understand where you are coming from. My best advice in to make sure they don't stick their face down by it when you are dremmeling & when you are on the back feet make sure your tail is put up with a hair clip of some kind.

Yes :) It works well in the cold snow/ice/slush. Also works on feet in summer on hot pavement, sand or deck. We put it on our dogs feet in the winter a few times a week. It stays on well and with our Boston Terrier's they didn't like having boots on their paws. Also great at the beach in the hot sand. If they happened to go in the water and back out a few times we would just check to make sure their feet were still covered. In the summer we have the dogs out on our back deck but sometimes it gets to hot for their feet so we put this on them and it really works well. We also bought Snout soother as our Boston's nose gets all bumpy from a leaky nose when he gets allergies and I would recommend that as well if you were ever out looking for something that works well. Mushers is fantastic and I am glad I found it. I hope this helps.

If you have a dog that chews, don't buy this, or a cat that scratches. I have bought 6 or more of these. Keep them out of traffic walkways because of the seams. But, my dogs use them. Aussie and border collie. I just bought another one from Bed and Bath.

It could be but be careful as I have heard small mammals can get their foot caught and break it. I made wood platforms to prevent that. I also decided to get rid of it and go with a rabbit style cage.

yes and no, it should keep the beak from penetrating the skin or glove. but you will still feel the pressure from a potential bite. Hopefully this helps
