An animal toenail grip designed and configured to provide an animal with traction on slippery and/or hard surfaces. The toenail grip includes a tubular member removably securable via frictional interference to the nail of the animal. The tubular member is constructed of a flexible, returnably-resilient material having superior non-slip or gripping characteristics. The toenail grip enhances proprioception in animals having certain neurological deficits and yields long term improvement in gait and stance on hard-surface flooring.
