Sizing for the Front Sock When sizing your pet for the Front No-Knuckling Training Sock we ask that you reference the guides below. You will find a
Top of Paw to Carpal Joint chart. Measure and use the guide to let you know which size best fits your pet€™s measurement. Then reference the recommended weight chart to see if that size corresponds with your pet€™s weight. If your pet is a different size in both charts, then go with the
Top of Paw chart. We list the weight chart as a courtesy to assist pet owners with sizing. But we know every pet is made differently, so don't hesitate to contact one of our customer service representatives with any questions
Top of Paw to Carpal Joint Measure from top of paw to middle of carpal joint on your pet. Ideally try to do this with your pet in a standing position. If that€™s not possible, your pet may not be ready for the Front No-Knuckling Training Sock and we recommend you consult your Veterinarian for advice.
