Jess and Marci's first experience in Clawgs. This demonstration video shows how to put on Clawgs and adjust straps to fit paws for the first time.

It shows Clawgs that are too large, too small, and just right. It also shows what it looks like to put Clawgs on dogs while they are laying on their sides, laying on their legs, sitting, and standing.

To show that there is no funny business going on, we minimize 'cuts' and therefore have long continuous clips. It makes the video longer than necessary, but hopefully someone will notice a helpful nuance somewhere along the way.

It takes some time to adjust all 24 straps for a four legged dog the first time, but once they're adjusted to fit your dog perfectly, you should not need to adjust them again.

This video is also available on YouTube:

hug toes, not claws

23/09/2022

Look how low those heel straps are!
Steer clear of dewclaws!
No leg bands. No leg straps.
CLAWGS’ heels hug dogs’ heels!
Dogs’ heel pads (metacarpal / metatarsal pads) protrude further than dogs’ legs, which gives CLAWGS something to hold while keeping them from sliding off. By eliminating the leg band, CLAWGS fit under extremely low hanging dew claws!
This CLAWGS improvement is dedicated to Beaucerons, Briards, Great Pyrenees and Icelandic Sheepdogs.

CLAWGS have come a long ways from the prototype days. Can you name all the improvements we snuck on CLAWGS over the past couple years?

I’ll name one... and by one, I mean SIX- ADJUSTABLE STRAPS!

There’s lots of unique paw shapes and sizes and we want to CLAWG them all!

Adjust CLAWGS’ around each toe and around both sides of dogs’ heels.

It takes some effort to properly adjust all 24 straps for four CLAWGS, but it’s worth it to make our most loyal friends’ tails wag. Once you properly adjust the strap lengths, it’s easy to maintain them.

We’ll start posting strap adjustment demonstration videos on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXwKP2rDP5TO6HX9Tm4mJgw ).

We’ll continuously post videos of different breeds and unique conditions with the hope of teaching you strap adjusting nuances and some Clawging tricks 🐕

Thanks for sticking, backers!

We have crossed the bridge from a neat idea to a small business! 🌱

All of our energy for the foreseeable future will go towards producing and distributing Clawgs to our backers and making sure everyone is happy with the proper sizes. This means we will be quiet in the social media world for a while. But don’t worry! We are alive and well thanks to our backers and supporters 🤍

We will be in close communication with our backers as we maneuver through fulfilling our first Kickstarter campaign. Feel free to message us anytime.

We are forever grateful for the opportunity to give your dog the paw wear he or she deserves and can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction!

There’s a couple days left to join us in the paw wear revolution 🐾

15/08/2020

5 days left to secure a set of Clawgs 🐾💚

13/08/2020

There’s one week left to pre-order Clawgs and help us reach our minimum goal needed to start production. Do you want to see Clawgs on dogs?

If we reach our funding goal, we will focus all our energy on delivering Clawgs to our backers. Clawgs will not be available again until sometime after our backers have received their Clawgs and are happy. Please join the over 1000 backers who believe in our product and help us transition from a cool idea to a small business that’s producing paw wear with your dog’s anatomy and interests in mind.

Dogs love chasing sticks. We love pawwear that sticks.

Dogs paw pads often slip on slick surfaces. It gets even more difficult for them as they age. Clawgs tread grips nicely and can easily bend and flex with your dog’s movement.

Dog Sap hopes to stick 🌲 around to make Clawgs for your dog. There’s only two weeks left to pre-order Clawgs, so please back this project and join the pawwear revolution!

You should feel confident that your dog’s pawwear will stay on your dog’s paw.

Half of Clawgs’ leg band is elastic and the other half is an adjustable strap. Clawgs stay attached when the strap is properly tightened.

Check out the trail running dogs on our Kickstarter video and the Bernese mountain dog running through the snow on our “updates” tab.

Dogs have completely different anatomy than people do. We often humanize them and will do things like refer to their paws and claws as feet and nails.

Perhaps that is why most dogs’ paw-wear resembles people’s foot-wear. At Dog Sap, we believe that dogs need paw-wear that’s designed with their anatomy in mind. We created the first paw-wear that allows dogs to use their claws.

Free the claws with Clawgs!

You can store Clawgs in the included pouch. We know this isn’t the reason you like Clawgs, but we thought it’d be a nice touch.

Perhaps your dog will wear Clawgs while walking on hot pavement on the way to the dog park. You may want to remove Clawgs while your dog is running and playing at the park. This will give you a place to store Clawgs while your dog is having fun. You can tie the drawstring to a leash or belt loop.

This seemed like a better place to store Clawgs than your pocket or holding them in your hand. What do you think? Is this something you will find useful or will it just end up in a landfill and shouldn’t be included in the box?

Did you know that dogs sweat through their paws? Many people say that dogs don’t sweat but that isn’t entirely accurate. Dogs cool down by panting but they sweat through their paw pads.

It’s important that moisture can escape from paw wear. Lack of ventilation can cause problems such as rashes, blisters, fungus, infections, etc.

Clawgs are single dew claw friendly. Most dogs have single dew claws that grow on the inside of dogs’ front legs and don’t touch the ground while standing. We designed Clawgs’ leg band to attach below dew claws.

ALL claws are exposed in Clawgs!

Protect Pads. Use Claws. Walk Naturally.

Have you seen the way dogs react to thick, stiff, heavy soles? Have you compared it to their reaction while wearing thin, flexible, lightweight soles?

We experimented with many sole materials and thicknesses and found that dogs react most favorably to thin, flexible, lightweight soles. They need to get a feel for the ground in order to walk naturally from the start.

Your dog’s comfort is our priority. We don’t want to weigh your dog down. We modeled Clawgs more after lightweight, low cushioned trail runners rather than thick, heavy boots.

Are you excited about the way Clawgs open and close? Do you like that Clawgs open and close silently?

Clawgs open completely up and there are a couple ways to attach them to your dog’s paws. Some people like sliding their dog’s digits into the Clawgs first followed by attaching and tightening the leg strap. Other people like attaching and tightening the leg strap first, then wrapping the Clawgs around their dog’s digits. It’s nice to have options.

It’s also nice that Clawgs open and close silently. Velcro makes a loud ripping noise, which is quite obnoxious. We’ve seen the way some dogs cringe or hide at the sound of Velcro ripping open. Buckles make a clicking noise, which sounds like nail clippers. We do not want any noises associated with Clawgs. We want to make attaching and removing Clawgs as stress free as possible for you and your dog.
