Dr. Buzby's Toe Grips

Post by hholtzman »

I was wondering if anyone has had experience using Dr. Buzby's Toe Grips? I am curious about how well they work, how long they last, and how easy they are to apply.

First I've ever heard of them. I know some people have used nail caps but for protecting nails rather than for non-skid properties. Let us know if you try them and they work.

I never heard of them either, but a neat thing happened when I googled them. A blog came up, and I know the person who made the blog. She used to be one of my dog's physical therapists until her neck started bothering her too much. She did a review of the product and gave it high marks. Here it is. (So cool, I didn't even know she had a blog.) :D :D :D

The hospital I work at actually just tested this product. Dr. Buzby came to the hospital and placed them on a patient for me. I think that out of six patients we placed them on, they seemed to help with traction per the owners. I did have trouble with the Toe Grips falling off most of the patients. Dr. Buzby recommended applying them with alcohol verses lubricant to see if that helped. Honestly, I haven't tried that yet. Hope this is helpful.
