My senior dog slips on wood floors. How to improve her traction?

Question

My 12year old lab is getting weak in the legs and slips on our wood and tile floors. Is there a product to help her? She won’t wear booties. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 12 years old | 65 lbs

I would put down runners or throw rugs so Bella has a surface she can walk on safely. There are paw waxes available online and in pet stores which may help provide some traction. Make sure her nails are kept short and the fur around her feet are trimmed. I hope this helps.
