In the past i have just wrapped micropore around with a bit of electrician's tape..it seemed to do the trick for me..

Why not just use Vet wrap?

 

Bingo

i have yet to find a tape that will stay in place all day , i have been running dogs for 40 plus years , skycat you can get all differant diameters in inertubes these days, not hard to find one which is the right size for your dog

Well, that's fine as long as you know what you are doing: my comments were more directed at those who might not be so well up on circulation. I've seen all sorts of things used to 'protect' stoppers, but I've also seen dogs' feet all swelled up and cold due to circulation cut off. There's a lot of idiots out there.

I can't imagine them staying on a running dog very long..especialy on rough ground..

insulating tape or micropore surgical tape does the same job

Be very careful using insulating tape to wrap a leg. If you put it on with any stretch at all then each turn round the leg makes it tighter and tighter. The result is circulation cut off and a swollen foot.

It's fine to fix bandages in place but make sure you don't stretch it as you put it on.

a light turn of tape should keep them in place

For this reason I hate to see insulating tape used: problem is, insulating tape is dirt cheap, but Elastoplast is a lot more expensive. Only a couple of quid more, but too many people put too low a price on their dog's well being: including feeding.

Sky the industrial electrician's tape is well up to the job.. not your B@Q rubbish and probably more hard wearing that a lot of stuff out there and water proof to a certain degree...like i have said i have used it load's of time's to good effect..and obviously as far as restricting blood flow goes a bit of commen sense comes in handy..and before you say it i know they is not much of it about..
