Pawz Dog - Blue Dog Boots

I bought these from USA when first introduced new a few years ago. Folks wanting an extensive dog boot that can be used again and again, as these are not. They can be used depending where dogs walked many times as yet I have not had a torn boot when used for a dog with a sore paw that needed protection from elements and the dog licking it's paw making it worse, although I'm sure they should not be left on endlessly, as the elastic band can be rather tight which secures that they don't come off as with risk of losing other tried dog boots. I mostly have used them singular or on more than one sore paw that obviously needed protection to pads etc. I have never used them on a regular never ending daily basis and I don't believe dogs need endless paw protection unless advised by a vet. I have now the three sizes upto medium for a Cavalier King Charles spaniels. In three years my dog has outgrown some of their boots! I recently bought the medium size from Amazon as the earlier size bought for dogs front hairy paws had needed next size upwards. Back paws again are different sized so a dog might need two pack's of disposable 12 boots. I have a Cavalier bitch and again she needs different sizes. The Pawz website has a print off colour coded sheet that is excellent for ensuring correct measurement. Print a few for future resizing. It seems dogs paws are like kiddies feet. I found they're handy for wintertime incase encountering road salt crystals occasional getting in between their toes that can cause some red sores between the pads. Keeping paw hair between pads trimmed help with trimmer but winter conditions can be harsh with ice and salt etc. Mushers is another new product for dog paw protection. All are obtainable on Amazon with in my experience quick dispatch. Spaniel paws have hairy slippers so don't need.....

These are not boots as such. They are more like a thick deflated balloon. They are difficult to get on but once on are not too bad (although they slip around the paw a bit). They are very good for elderly dogs or dogs that slip easily on polished floors or laminated floors as they are non-slip and give the dogs confidence (and avoid injuries caused by slipping). They do keep the dog's feet dry and clean too when out walking in adverse weather but if you walk your dog on hard ground a lot, they do wear through quite quickly. One word of caution though, do not leave these on your dog for long periods of time as they are quite tight around the ankles and could interfere with the circulation. Also, if left on for a long time, they cause the paw to sweat as no air can get through them and this could cause fungal infections and discomfort.

I don’t expect them to last so long. Easy to put on. They stay in place and protect the foot. Excellent design.

Do not bit this product. Returns are not allowed. Nothing stated at time of purchase that this would be the case. I am now stuck with item which is of no use at all. Very frustrating / annoying

Brilliant product, 12 in a pack, great for covering injured paws enabling your dog to still go out for a short walk,

My whippet bitch suffers from cracked pads and I was looking for a lightweight boot to protect her feet. These are not very easy to fit, as they have to be stretched over the foot and then put into place. They are also the wrong shape! A dog's paw is an oblong shape, but these are round, so flap about on the end of the feet and my dog managed to tread on the flapping bit and pull the boot off soon after going out. They are OK for a sedate walk on the lead, but I wouldn't recommend them if the dog is running around off-lead. Also, when the dog went through a deep puddle water got inside the boot. They would be infinitely better is the boot was longer and narrower and rolled on (like a thick condom!). Better than nothing, but not very good

These are fantastic. Quite fiddly but absolutely worth it (they’re like a very thick balloon). We tried the other strap on boots you can buy (which don’t work), but these are amazing. Our pup got a bad surface wound on his paw after walking on glass on a path (grrrrr) and we needed to protect it; these are the only things that work! You can use them on their own or over a cohesive bandage. We have a large 6 month old English Springer Spaniel who’s about the size of a small English Springer Spaniel, and the Medium are a great fit. We bought an antiseptic spray (Veterycin) which I also highly recommend (tip: spray it directly into boot then slip on over paw). And to those who’ve complained that they don’t last...well, battle with useless boots instead. These are only about £1 each and they tend to last several walks; sometimes they break after one, but for the most part come back fully intact and really protect the foot so your dog can run around as normal and their foot will stay clean and dry. Brilliant invention!

These were recommended to me as a way of keeping a cut paw dry on a young active dog that I couldn't easily restrict to lead walks. Coming from abroad they didn't arrive until after the paw was healed,(I made do with plastic bags covered with gaffer tape), so is not until now, when she has had another cut paw, I can review them. I carry one with me with a basic dressing so that I am able to cover a paw as soon as it happens. Because her fur was wet with rain and where I had cleaned the wound the dressing got heavy and it fell off. However on subsequent walks over a dry dressing it did stay on and keep her foot dry. However, when I continued to use them over an "is almost healed but don't want her to catch it and rip it open again" stage, without any dressing underneath, her claws made pinholes where she was running about, and so some water did get through. But still served the purpose of her not catching it on anything. I also noticed how much less mud she brought in from the garden on that paw, so may take 4 with us to the holiday cottage when we go. Probably the best dog boots for staying on in the price range and certainly much easier to pop on than my plastic bag/gaffer tape method. Will buy again.

Should buy small or medium for Lhasa or shihtzu!

I almost didn't get these because of some of the negative reviews, but I am THRILLED I did. The entertainment value alone is worth it... my dog literally PRANCES in these booties!! She doesn't care for having them put on, but once they are, she's like a young puppy with a new leash on life!! I let her out the door and she bolts for the snow and starts frolicking in joy. She's always loved snow but these booties seem to make her appreciate it even more, perhaps because it doesn't hurt her feet as much??? Then when she runs in these on regular pavement, the sucking sound of latex slapping the ground is hilarious! So I'm laughing, she's ecstatic, how much more joy can you infuse in an otherwise mundane and often tiresome event such as walking in cold wet snow to go poop?! Anyway, this morning was the last straw...my dog was so happy that I had to write a review. I'm really glad I got these overall - they have flaws, they're not perfect, but they're a good product and very good value. A few logistical comments for those who are looking for more than entertainment... - EASE OF USE They are definitely not easy to put on. My dog is long-haired (which is worse!) but she's trained to lift her feet for wiping off so I take advantage of that and can put them on by myself. It's like putting a sock on a wriggly baby - use both hands, front fingers to hold the booty open & navigate and back fingers to guide the paw. - SIZING My dog is a 45 lb terrier mutt. I got Medium and the fit is just ok. Apparently she has narrow legs because the booties stay on for about 5 minutes (probably because of all the furry hair to cling to) before stretching to the point where they fall off. So I can't use these for extended frolicking. But the amount of room in the actual paw part is generous. So for dogs who have narrow legs but big feet, the sizing will be difficult. I might go with a Small next time simply because of the width of her legs. Furthermore, they're too short. The booties are enough to protect the pads of the dog's feet and some of their "ankles" but no more. If the dog has long nails like mine, you'll get enough coverage to the top of the foot joint. Any leg/exposed fur on top of that is fair game for snow matting, which is my problem because she's long-haired...but since the product isn't marketed for this, I can't really complain (but Pawz, if you read this, I'm willing to pay a little bit more for longer booties.. hint hint!). - DURABILITY & VALUE As many have said, these are nothing more than thick latex, so long nails and other sharp objects will rip these. But each booty will last for 1-2 trips outdoors, and since the package comes with 24 and frolicking in the snow is generally not a rip-inducing event, I'm ok with the quality. - APPEARANCE What's there to say? These are balloon mittens for a canine foot. If you don't like the idea or look of your dog wearing thick balloons on his/her feet and you'll be embarrassed, don't get these. If your dog has self-esteem issues and hates looking silly, don't get these. But if your dog can handle them (or like mine, at least ACTS overjoyed when wearing them), and you either don't care how they look or get a kick out of seeing your dog act super-happy in them, then these are great!

Bit difficult to get on at first but excellent once you get the hand of it. No more problems with road salt or icy paws. Means we can't use footpaths we've avoided while out walking in the past. Added to that; they stay on and our dog doesn't mind having them on.

Die Socken für Hunde sind wie kleine Luftballons. Sie sind wasserdicht und rutschfest. Gerade ältere Hunde, die eine schwache Hinterhand ( z.B. durch degenarative Mylopathy)haben und oft hinten, auf glatten Böden wegrutschen, bekommen mit diesen Socken wieder mehr Sicherheit und Stabilität beim Gehen und Aufstehen. Wenn der Hund die Socken nur im Haus trägt halten sie sehr, sehr lange. Werden sie allerdings auf Asphalt getragen sind sie schnell kaputt, weil sie halt fast so dünn wie ein Luftballon sind. Da sie aus Gummi sind und Hunde nun mal an den Pfoten schwitzen kann man z.B. mit einem Locher für Papier kleine Löcher rein stanzen. Ein bis zwei kleine Löcher reichen schon und es kommt etwas Luft an die Pfote und der Hund schwitz nicht so. Dadurch gehen sie manchmal nach ner gewissen Zeit etwas schneller kaputt, weil es passieren kann das das Loch aufreißt,aber dafür schwitzen die Pfoten nicht, was gerade im Sommer eine Erleichterung für den Hund ist. Mein Hund konnte damit wieder viel besser gehen und hat sich sicherer gefühlt. Er ist sofort wieder angefangen im Haus zu toben, was er vorher schon gar nicht mehr konnte, weil er immer weggerutscht ist.
