Before You Put on Zoof Plops, Read This!
-
Get treats ready: Keep your dog’s favorite treat handy. Let them sniff the shoes for a while. Sniffing helps them understand, feel assured, and reduces anxiety.
-
Check the shoe: Take a moment to understand how the shoe fastens. Watch the "How to Put On" video and ensure the loop isn’t tangled—this will make putting them on much easier.
-
Start with the back paws: Begin by putting the shoes on your dog’s back paws first. Since back paws are less sensitive than front ones, this helps them adjust more comfortably.
-
Secure the fit: Fasten the straps snugly but not too tight. Your dog should be able to walk comfortably while ensuring the shoes stay in place.
How to put on Zoof Plops on your dog? A step-by-step tutorial
Before You Put on Zoof Plops, Read This!
-
Reward and praise: Once the shoes are on, give your pup a treat and lots of praise to encourage positive behavior. Start slow—let them wear the Plops for 30 minutes a day and gradually increase the time.
-
Check the fit: If your pup licks their paws or tries to remove the Plops, stop and check the fit. Are they too tight? Are they pressing on the dew claw? Adjust if needed.
-
Help them get used to it: It’s normal if your dog doesn’t want to walk at first. Use their favorite motivator—food, a toy, or a person they love—to encourage them. Hopping or walking awkwardly is normal in the beginning.
-
Check for rotation: Make sure the Plops aren’t rotating while walking. If they are, they might be too loose. Watch our video on how to fasten them properly.
-
Be patient: Some dogs adjust quickly, while others take a few days. Once they realize Zoof Plops protect their paws from dirt, ticks, and infections, they’ll walk more confidently.
-
Add the front paws: Once your pup is comfortable with the back shoes, try putting on the front ones. They usually adapt faster at this stage.

Start with the Back Paws: Begin by putting the shoes on just the back paws. This gives them a chance to adjust to the feeling without feeling too overwhelmed by all four shoes at once.
Ensure a Comfortable Fit: Check that the shoes are comfortable and fit well—not too tight or too loose. Ill-fitting shoes can cause discomfort, making your dog hesitant to walk, which affects their confidence.
Be Patient and Consistent: Senior dogs may need more time to adjust. Start with short, easy walks inside and gradually increase the duration as they get more comfortable with the shoes. Patience is key, and positive reinforcement (treats and praise) will help them feel more confident.
Zoof Plops are designed for outdoor walks. If your pup wears them for over an hour, give their paws a break by removing them.
We don’t recommend using Zoof Plops indoors, as they are specifically designed for outdoor use. If you need indoor shoes, go for Zoof Grips—they feature a softer sole and highly breathable material for all-day comfort.
Kindly make sure to stretch the elastic first, then secure the Velcro tightly for a good fit; check the "How-to" video for more help.

Remove all the dry dust and fur with a soft brush. Do not miss cleaning the velcro as well with a old toothbrush. If the Plops get very dirty/stinky, hand wash them with gentle detergent and water. Do not wash them in a washing machine.
Make sure the fasten the velcro properly, even when not in use. This ensures that the hook doesn't attract dust and the stickiness remains intact for a long time. Store the shoes in a dry, dark bag when not in use.
