I realize this is MONTHS later, but if you’re still out there, I’ve tried the paw pads on my little terrier/beagle mutt who got a slippery floor phobia after a visiting corgi puppy chased her constantly. They do work well, but they come off after a couple days, and the ones I bought were too expensive to replace frequently. I’m curious about the non-slip spray for show dogs, but can’t find the ingredients anywhere. Musher’s Secret (protects paws from rock salt, snow, ice – brilliant stuff) helps, but not enough. Surf wax is a brilliant idea, but it usually goes on the surf board, right? So again, I’d be curious about ingredients before leaving it on her paws.

Has anyone ever used these stick-on non-slip paw pads from Orvis.com? http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=0X6X They have medical grade adhesive and come in different paw sizes. We've never used them but it definitely looks like an interesting product and we'd love to hear if anyone's tried them!

I have the laminate flooring and Pepper hates it. He can't get a good footing. I have put the rubber backed throw rugs in rows like stepping stones. They work quite well. Pepper can go anywhere in the house now. I don't like the look as good as the bare floors, but Pepper lives here also.
