I used nylon stocking in basic for the 13-25 mile ruck marches, but in sure there aint nylons for dogs ;D but the mole skin works for a better word, a lengthy temp patch.

Been runnin her the past month straight in it and you cant even tell. First month I would put it on her and let it heal in a week or so. Now you can't tell after she gets done hunting that she even had it on. I do soak mine in a bucket with laundry detergent about once a month or so just to keep the smell down on em. Not sure if that has helped soften the material around the leg holes or not.
