An animal toenail grip is provided that provides traction on slippery surfaces for all animals but is of special use to those animals that are unstable due to old age or illness. The toenail grip adds surface area per toenail, which allows additional gripping surface to prevent slipping. The toenail grip engages with the floor at all times without the animal having to engage its toenails. The cylinder shaped grip is constructed of a flexible non-skid/gripping material. The grip is placed over the toenail and affixed using non-toxic adhesive putty. Additional gripping material may externally coat the closed end of the toenail grip.
