I’ve used them on dogs I’ve raced an dogs I’ve lamped they seem alright. On the dogs I’ve lamped I always put a bit of electrical tape round em just for that bit of extra security I also have the Velcro’s facing outwards not like what’s in the picture facing inward

See if you can get hold of EMT gel mate, it’s not widely available in the uk but some greyhound and gundog lads can get it and it’s literally a miracle !

I’ll nip out to the shed and see if I still have a tube and take a picture.

Its the best stuff you will ever find for cuts to anywhere including pads and stopper 

It sort of gos hard and forms almost a new hard skin over the wound and it heals it in double quick time, it’s fantastic stuff.

Put it on, let it go hard for the day and you can run them on it.

May have to put more on the next day but you get the drift.

Forget all that wrapping mate, imho it always ends up a liability after a couple of runs, anything else restricts proper movement.

Its asking for a worse injury and the dog never runs quiet right…..it knows it has something on its leg it don’t like, just my humble opinion of my experience of course

I don’t think they do either but other lads may have had a different experience.

One or two runs and it’s hanging round the dogs feet in rags.

That EMT gel is the stuff, it’s unbeatable.
