Some dogs like to rest their paws up on the paw pad platform of the Buddyrider instead of the floorboard. This platform is also ideal for longer dogs that need a bit more space. Our exclusive cushioned foam grip pad easily adhears to the paw pad platform to make things more comfortable for your dog. It adds better grip for your pup's pads offering them an enhanced sense of security. This is the same durable material used on stand-up paddleboards and other accessories where durable grip is needed.? Currently available in two color options (blue or gray).?
