DE102011113790A1 - Health shoes for e.g. dog, has breathable sole that is arranged in inner portion so that moisture is transferred from interior to outside of shoe, and four resilient rubber strips that are fastened at leg of dog or cat - Google Patents

Abstract

The shoes made of crushable material has a breathable sole (4) that is arranged in inner portion. The sole is positioned such that the moisture is transferred from the interior to outside of shoe. The four resilient rubber strips (2) are provided in shoe and are fastened at leg of dog or cat. The Velcro(RTM: hook-and-loop fastener) fasteners (3) are provided for fixing the rubber strips at leg of dog or cat.

Description

The issues:

• a) Pfotenschuhe für Hunde, die nicht wasserdicht sind sowie einen
• b) wasserdichten Pfotenschutzstrumpf für Hunde.

There are currently

• a) Paw footwear for dogs that are not waterproof and one
• b) waterproof paw guards for dogs.

The paw shoes and the protective stocking have Velcro fasteners to fix.

The Velcro fasteners are unable to withstand the dynamics of movement, the paw shoe slips and has to be postfixed when walking. Further, the paw foot shoe is not waterproof and inside wet after the walk in wet rainy weather and slush wet and damp, which is often delayed by the (veterinarian) dressing drenched in the wound and wound healing and difficult.

It forms in the wound a bad environment that promotes bacterial growth and thus retards the healing and / or difficult. Further, the material of most paw footwear is not sturdy, so wear after some wearing time at the top wear and the shoe at the front of the top, where the material often dragging on the ground, a hole appears because the material is worn through. This does not take long in my experience. This is annoying and expensive.

According to the information on the Internet, the protective socking must not be used on concrete or sharp-edged ground (split etc.). This is for all who live in the city a problem, because to various dog walks you can only on various roads, which are known to be made of concrete and often pebbles or just split (spring with grit before removing the grit but already without snow equal). The material of this Schutzstrumpfes is therefore not robust enough.

Furthermore, the protective stocking is not suitable for plaster on the leg.

Next, the protective stocking according to the description is almost airtight, the dog must therefore not wear it for a long period of time, it is advised advice on the veterinarian in this regard.

The two Velcro fasteners of the protective sock are "fixed" after fixation. they do not give in to the dynamics of the movement. Running causes muscle movements, the muscles in the leg contract and disintegrate. There are contractions that can be badly compensated by a Velcro bandage. The result is that the hold of the protective stocking and paw footwear is not optimal.

A serious problem is that the dogs can only maintain their body temperature by panting in the heat and sweat on the paws. Dogs have only on the balls and between the toes, so on the feet, sweat glands, nowhere else on whole body. This means that sweating on the feet is enormously important. Due to the almost impermeable protective stocking, this sweating is not possible because the sweat can not "evaporate" through the protective stocking. There are also dogs with real sweaty feet, where the problem is compounded. So the dog can not chill over the sweat on the foot / on the feet, in case of high heat threatens the risk of heat stroke.

Another problem is that the lack of "ventilation" can create a poor environment under the dressing in the wound. It spills and it can form bakeries that delay and complicate wound healing. This is not dangerous.

When the paw shoe, which is not waterproof, it is so that the invading wetness also delays the healing of wounds, can multiply Bacteria and endanger the healing. So not optimal.

Solution and patent application

The "health shoe for dogs" is made of breathable material.

The material has to be very light, robust, just breathable, and absolutely impermeable to water. Thus, the health shoe for a long period or permanently (important for watch dogs, dogs kept outside in the kennel, guide dogs and guard dogs and for all working dogs of any kind) are worn. Even with companion dogs, the long wearing period is an advantage, as a walk with progressive recovery may take as long as an hour or more. Due to the breathability, the environment in the wound remains clean and dry. There is no stinging in the wound and / or formation of bakeries. There is also no sweating on the foot and / or in the wound area. The feet / feet stay dry, sweat-free, wound healing can be promoted, the healing process can be accelerated. This saves nerves, time and money and in the worst case the death of the animal is avoided, whether by sepsis, wound rot or heat stroke. Due to the breathable material the sweat is transported to the outside and inside the health shoe it stays dry and hygienic.

On top of that, dogs start to sweat on their feet not only because of heat sweating on their feet, but also because of anxiety, stress or nervousness.

The sole of the health shoe must be as breathable as the rest of the shoe, so that the sweat can be transported to the bottom of the bale to the outside. The rest of the material must be breathable, as is sweat between the toes, the sweat transport to the outside must therefore be ensured on the sides of the foot / feet. Next, the sole must be slightly reinforced and grooved (so profile), so that the dog with the health shoe on any surface can run without problems, whether wet or dry or slippery (wet leaves, ice in winter, smooth stairwell floors, smooth steps in the staircase, etc.), or rough and pointed (rolled split, pebble) or hard (concrete).

• • XS (Chihuaha, Welpen, etc.)
• • S (Dackel, Malteser, Westhighlandterrier, etc.)
• • M (Spitz, Spaniel, Beagle, etc.)
• • L (Golden Retnever, Labrador, Dobermann, etc.)
• • XL (Deutscher Schäferhund, Rottweiler, Alaska Malamute, etc.)
• • XXL (Deutsche Dogge, Bordeauxdogge, Neufundländer, Bullmastiff, etc.)
• • XXXL (Gips bei Giganten)

The health shoe should be in different sizes:

• • XS (Chihuaha, puppies, etc.)
• • S (Dachshund, Maltese, West Highland Terrier, etc.)
• • M (Spitz, Spaniel, Beagle, etc.)
• • L (Golden Retnever, Labrador, Doberman, etc.)
• • XL (German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Alaska Malamute, etc.)
• • XXL (Great Dane, Dogue de Bordeaux, Newfoundland, Bullmastiff, etc.)
• • XXXL (plaster of giants)

Each health shoe is attached to the foot with four special rubbers. The rubbers can be individually mounted on any height of the leg, so that the rubbers can be mounted at the optimum height depending on the individual case. In addition to the health shoe but provided for tabs are to fix the rubber if someone favors this solution. The tabs must be able to be opened by Velcro, so that the respective rubber can be attached (from the bottom of the paw) and then can be closed again by Velcro, that the rubber is then fixed in the tab and can not slide down. The Velcro fasteners for the tabs must be small and strong. Above, where the health shoe ends, a cuff should be attached, which is then closed, so that from the top no moisture can penetrate into the health shoe and no foliage or other.

The breathable material of the health shoe should be able to impregnate, so that the shoe does not absorb moisture from the ground. The health shoe should be washable, as this promotes hygiene. For the wash cycle, you should use a special, medical, disinfecting hygiene rinse if used for a long time. This disinfects the health shoe inside and out.

The rubbers you have to buy separately to the shoe, as they wear / leach. The rubbers should be at least about half to two inches wide depending on the size of the shoe, please see above. A reference to the instructions for use of the health shoe must be attached, which indicates that it must be ensured that the rubbers are not allowed to sit too tight, otherwise the blood circulation in the leg is endangered. If necessary, if the dog is quite stocky, then the gums of the next size to buy. The rubbers should therefore be well stretchy, not too tight.
