Dog boots can protect your dog’s feet from frigid temperatures, sharp ice, and toxic road chemicals. Here are some tips on choosing and safely using dog boots. 🥾
. ✨ 1. Make sure they fit well. Look for boots that come in lots of size increments and measure your dog’s foot to get a perfect fit and prevent tripping or discomfort.
. ✨ 2. Make sure they’re rugged. The purpose of getting boots is to protect your dog’s feet, so make sure the ones you choose have grips or treads for traction and a rugged exterior to prevent cuts and punctures.
. ✨ 3. Make sure they’re flexible. Your dog boots need to be protective, but they also need to be flexible to allow your dog’s foot to move naturally and prevent joint injuries.
. 🦺 1 SAFETY TIP 🦺 . 🥵Don’t let your dog overheat in boots. Keep in mind that your dog can’t sweat, and instead, their feet are a site of heat exchange. Keeping them in boots can disrupt their ability to regulate their temperature, which can lead to overheating, even in cold weather. So limit boot time and give lots of barefoot breaks.
. Our favorite dog boots are the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boots. They meet all the above criteria and stay on really well. I love the lightweight protection they offer for Rafferty’s feet on cold days, rough terrain, or hot surfaces. . . . . . . . . . 🏷️ @ultrapaws dogboots winterdogs dogmomtips dogsafety dogmomlife mydogiscutest LTKPets LTKHome LTKSeasonal
