Dog booties

[Cebby]

If they have long hair between their pads, this promotes ice to form on the hair if it's cold enough. Had that problem with an old cocker spaniel when I was growing up. The boots are funny when they first get them on - certainly some high stepping going on...

We walk our dog every day in the snow from November-March and he's never needed booties. The trails with glass pieces do a number on his pads in the summer, but he is happy go lucky all winter long bounding through snow. When you get in really cold temps the built up snow and the sharp ice can start to hurt their feet, but that's very unusual in recreational outings.

I would LMAO to see my dog in those We had to tape a sock to his foot when he took a big chunk out of a pad from glass or something. He walked around like a freaking retard

Thanks for that info Erich. I guess you'd know better than anyone else. Seems like the trails are a bigger concern than the snow. If I get the booties, I'll definitely film it and post it.

My pleasure. One thing I should add is that crusty snow is where they hurt thier feet. If it's fluffy and soft, they don't have a problem. If there is a thick crust that you break through on each step, then they can start to tear up thier feet. Just keep an eye on thier pads and go from there. They usually won't have any temperature problems if they keep moving.

But those guys are like professionals. Mine are just indoor labs. I'll just take them out and see what happens. But after what Erich said, I'm thinking about getting the booties for trails. I wanted to start running them on trails too. I just thought the snow would be more of an issue.

Hey David, the goldie is an indoor dog so we have booties for her. She's a princess so we figure we'd splurge and keep her paws nice and clean. She doesn't mind though cuz the booties does add a lot of traction for her on the trails.

If you do get the booties, do take a video and please make sure not to be lol on film cuz it'll take away from the humor of watching your dogs act like a freak show
