Will this prevent a dog from licking their front paws?

Absolutely not. Dog will have full access to front and probably rear paws, too.

I returned it. My dog could still get to the spot he wasn't supposed to lick. It is not good for dogs with pointed snouts in my opinion. I found a cloth, padded elizabethan collar that worked much better. Good luck.

I put it on Gidget feet prior to our outings and so far she hasn't attempt to lick it off. When we get back I have a hand towel that I rub her feet lightly as it also conditions the pads and keeps them from cracking.

I bought it to keep my dogs from licking the couch.. is easier to wash the cover than it is to have the couch cleaned every 3 months...

I don't think so but it would depend on the size of the dog. The collar seems to work best for keeping the dog away from stitches on back legs and abdomens. I would be afraid a front paw could reach over the collar and scratch the eye. Sorry not to be able to offer encouragement because I know the big cones can be a misery for both dog and the caretaker.

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

They actually doesn't bother paws, long or short hair, it's a matter of will your dog accept them. Put them on two of my dogs, one left them alone until they fell off themselves and the other bothered with them day in and day out until they were gone.

Probably not. I learned a trick from a trainer: whenever a dog jumps at you, hold his both paws longer than he is comfortable with, say... a minute. Dogs don't like to be constrained. After some jumps, they associate jumping with being held still by the paws, and stop doing it. If does not work, I would ask a trainer, or a vet. SPCA has great free suggestions for training dogs out of bad habits. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

They are a thin rubber. They would help somewhat, but would probably be more protective if you were walking in sand so the sand would not get between the pads of the dogs paws same as walking in the snow. They helped more with that type of issue.

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.

Personally, would not do this. Moisture will still manage its way inside Pawz. That will mean your dogs feet could be in a warm, moist enclosed area that is prime for bacteria growth. Having spent past $1000 on our dog helping it fight infections on its feet, do not consider this to be a good idea.

I got our collar out and did a test rum on my lab who weighs about 60# and had her try to reach the front of her paws (dog biscuit reward induced!). She just couldn't quite reach. This collar restricts their stretch to some degree in all directions. I would say it is worth a try to try to break the habit, if it is a habit and not something physiologic. Vets should carry these--they are MUCH better than the cone (we call it The Lampshade!)--an outstanding product and I am glad to have it on hand for the next time we need it. Have you tried spraying the top of your lab's paws with Bitter Apple? Apparently, not all dogs hate the Bitter Apple as much as my dog does, however! Another suggestion I would make is to get the dog boots and use them for a time on her front paws. We use them in the winter for below zero weather--Lucy isn't crazy about them but she does get used to them. She had a bad cut on one of her paws a few years ago and we put a boot on over her bandages and she got used to it. The bandages had to be on for about a month, dressed daily followed by the boot and she was very good about the whole thing once she got over the weird-ness! Good luck working this problem out with your lab--they are the best dogs, aren't they?!!

The fabric of this cover isn't waterproof, so no, I suspect it would not work. My dog licks his paws; he leaves a wet spot on the fabric, which doesn't go through the padding or the bottom layer, but I'm afraid anything liquid would go right through.

I think it depends on your pet size. For small puppy the answer should be NO. For half year old like 5-6pounds poodle it only makes she difficult to do that but impossible to completely prevent she licking her rear paws only when she's lying down on her back.Anyway it makes puppy much more comfortable than the old-style hard one. Your puppy can eat , drink and play while wearing it.

I think it would make it more difficult, but I also think he/she might still be able to lick the front paw area. You would probably be better off with an Elizabethan collar which extends out below the chin.

It might work. If he is licking the nail, though, he might just chew it off. It takes a bit of glue. I also cut them down a bit so my dog' s fur does not get caught in the glue. It might be worth a try if you need some protection for that nail...Hope this helps a bit.

Honestly, probably not. I bought this for my Siberian Husky when we had her spayed and she couldn't reach the stitches on her stomach but she could still reach sections of her back legs/feet. It could hinder the dog a bit from getting to their foot, but if they are really determined, I don't think this collar would stop your dog from reaching their foot.
