Can dog shoes help my German Shepherd puppy on slippery tile floors?

Question

My German Shepard puppy is 4 month odl and showing symptoms of cowhocked legs. I am providing him good quality food with joint supplements (Megaflex by Bayer) as well as exercises on grasses and swimming. But unable to provide him rough surface at home because of floor tiles. Can i put him shoes at home for gripping issues.? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 4 days old | 37.49 lbs

Yes, you can certainly get him some dog boots to help with traction on the tile floors. Be sure you are feeding a LARGE BREED puppy food. Regular puppy food is often imbalanced with regards to the calcium-phosphorus ratio for a large breed dog (it is fine for small and medium breeds). It makes them grow too fast and can cause joint abnormalities. So, if you are not doing that already I would recommend you do that. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
