Agree on skipping the boots.
Agree 100%. We tell our puppy people that have hardwood floors that they need to get some cheap rugs and runners to give the dogs some traction when getting up or walking around. We got some indoor/outdoor rugs from CostCo at a reasonable price. They work great for the dogs and are easy to cleanup when they make messes (or, switch over to their vomit comet personas). We make sure that there are rugs where our older dogs lay to make it easier for them to get up.

We have hardwoods throughout so I'd need about 100 of them and it would look so cluttered and ugly. I've seen boots but we tried those years ago for the salt covered slushy trails in new England. She freaked out when we put them on her. Like epic failure. At 15 I dont think this old dog is going to up to learning that new trick if she refused as a puppy.
Try these

We used these for our border collie-lab mix and they helped. He destroyed his boots and hated them.

Another thing we did that really helped was acupuncture. There aren't many vets who do it but it made a difference in so many ways. We pulled out all the stops so when it comes to senior dogs and hip/slipping issues I became very well versed in ways to aid in helping him.

Giving those toe grips a shot! Thanks!

As for acupuncture....She screamed so badly they asked us not to come back. Bella has always been a bit dramatic.

She's mastered that look. She was NOT happy with me.
