Where can I buy boots for my dog (paw protectors)?

Dec 23, 2008 by Erin ♥ (RIP Ciby) | Posted in Dogs

Is there any site that I can order them from?
Tryin' Again- I just don't want the pads on my dog's paws to get blistered. Why don't you try going outside barefoot in the snow, wouldn't you appreciate boots? =P

www.moochieandco.com the best brand are Zack and Zoe or Monkey Daze. They both have straps that wrap around the legs also and they stay on very well. I work at that store and we have them in the store too :)

Does a Dog Need Boots for the Winter?: Ice, Salt, and Snow Hurts ...

The best way to protect the paws of a dog from ice, salt, and snow is by putting winter boots on its feet. As the old saying goes, though, it can be hard to teach an old dog new tricks. No matter how beneficial wearing a pair of dog shoes may be to your pet, some dogs just won't wear them. Here we will look at different types of dog boots, how to train a dog to wear boots, and some alternate methods of protecting a dog's feet during the winter.

Just as with people, there are many different styles of winter boots for dogs. Dog boots can range in price from $12 to $60, depending on the style and materials.

The more expensive boots look just like shoes for people. They are made of leather and have a sturdy rubber sole for traction. A velcro strap holds the boot onto the foot of the dog.

Some dog owners find that these dog boots are too stiff and cumbersome for their pet. A sock-style winter boot, such as the ones made by Muttluks , are more versatile, and better for active dogs. This style of boot is easy to put on, and tends to stay on the dog's feet better than traditional leather boots.

If your dog can't seem to keep a pair of boots on its feet, disposable rubber boots, like the ones made by Pawz , may be a better option. These boots are inexpensive, waterproof, and disposable.

As with people, the best way to fit a dog for a pair of boots is to try them on in the store. The pet owner should not only make sure that the dog boot fits, but also if he is able to put the shoe on the dog's paw with ease. The right dog boot has to be quick and easy to put on, because sometimes a dog just can't wait to go outside.

The first time a dog has a pair of shoes on its feet, he is often reluctant to take a step, is unbalanced, and flails around like a fish out of water. It takes some time to get a dog used to wearing shoes.

The best way to train a dog to wear shoes is to have him practice in the house. Have the dog sit when you first put on the shoes, move about 10 feet away, and then call him to you. When the dog makes it (it takes a bit of coaxing at first) give him his favorite treat. After doing this a few times, the dog will forget about the shoes and run to you for the treat.
