Product Information
Rigid Measuring Tape and String Clawgs Sizing Guide
The Rigid Measuring Tape and String Clawgs Sizing Guide is a product that helps pet owners to determine the appropriate size of Clawgs for their dogs. Clawgs are protective boots that are made to protect your dog’s paws from harsh weather conditions and rough terrain. This sizing guide includes a measuring tape and string that are used to measure your dog’s paw size accurately. The sizing guide includes 12 different sizes of Clawgs, ranging from size 1 (3.2 cm or 1 1/4 inches) to size 12 (12.4 cm or 4 7/8 inches). The guide also includes detailed instructions on how to measure your dog’s paw size properly.
Product Usage Instructions
Follow the steps below to use the Rigid Measuring Tape and String Clawgs Sizing Guide:
- Cut a piece of string or dental floss to a length longer than your dog’s paw.
- Have your dog lay on its side.
- Align one end of the string with the measuring tape’s edge and hold the string at that location.
- With your other hand, pull the string tight and pinch the string with your thumb’s tip at the length that you would like to try. Each size’s length is on the table provided.
- Press the string’s pinched location against your dog’s leg behind the metacarpal/metatarsal pad’s (heel pad’s) furthest point from the front claws, which is not centered behind the heel pad. You should be pressing at Clawgs’ heel location, which is the leg’s skinniest part directly behind the heel pad.
- Press the string’s loose end against your dog’s front pads. Make sure your dog’s wrist/ankle is bent as far as possible to its standing position. The string’s end is located at the front claw opening’s edge for the size you are trying.
- Select the longest Clawg length that does not contact your dog’s front claws’ tips while your dog’s wrist/ankle is fully bent to its standing position. Ideally, the string will completely cover your dog’s front pad but will not contact your dog’s front claws’ tips.
- If you can’t decide between two sizes, select the larger size.
Note: Your dog’s front paws and back paws may be different sizes. It is recommended to measure both paws.
