It took so long to find a shoe that fit my mastiff, but I finally did! Very happy to find something intended for larger dogs as this is always a struggle. Bought these in hopes to stop her environmental allergy exposure and so far have no complaints. They stay on very well!

Perfect for a downtown dog who has to trudge through salt and slush. Durable rubberized bottoms and comfortable fit. Follow the measuring chart. Our mid-sized labradoodle wears a size small and it fit properly (small paws and skinny legs). And he had no trouble walking around in them with the first wear. They may seem expensive but they don't seem to come off and don't tear through after only a few walks. Also relatively easy to get on with a little practice. Bonus - gives an older dog traction on polished floors.

Awsome boots and the quality is A-1. My dog did not have any problems with getting used to them, his back paws were funny in the house but once outside, he totally forgot about them. They stay in place very well I think because the two velro straps are oposite of one another it helps. In resumé, very good buy, 100% happy!

protect and most importantly, they stay on. Very durable.

We bought these for our elderly Airedale who, while still enjoys his daily walks, has a terrible time in snow due to severely arthritic hips, especially when it has an icy crust on top. We had bought a cheap pair last year from a pet store chain, thinking it wasn't worth investing in a good pair because he wasn't going to be around much longer. The hilarity of watching him walk was worth the money spent. We ended up inadvertently throwing them away at the end of last winter. Well, the rascal is still with us, so we ordered these. The suggested way of measuring for size, having animal stand on paper and trace outline, did not go over well with him, and the resulting drawing looked like something from a crime scene more that a dog paw print. We ordered based on the width and length of the paws, but the item was way too small. It's well-constructed, but is narrower at the top, so getting the paw in, never an easy feat under any circumstance, was impossible. We will be trying the next size up. I wish we could find booties that actually have a "heel" built in instead of basically being a thumbless mitten.

My Beagle/Basset took to these pretty easily. He flops his feet a bit but he didn't try to pull them off, lick them, etc. His feet are 2.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches long from the base of his pad to the tip of his claws. We got a medium and they fit pretty well. The two straps work well to keep them on. A little of the deeper snow got in around the top but he didn't cry out from the cold the way he did without them. In terms of size, we had to tug a little to get these on. If your dogs paws are 2 3/4, i would definitely go for the next size. These pinch open and have a pad on the back side which makes it easier to get on (I think) then ones that dont have these. It allows you to form an O which helps get a lot of the paw in before you have to pull a bit. For his back legs, I had to lie him down to get them on, but his front legs went on while he was standing.These are still a little slippery on wood floors but they do have a little traction to them so it depends how much your dog slips. If you have highly polished wood floors, these would probably give some help to slipping but not a ton.They seem pretty durable though we've only had them a week. He has walked through snow and ice and they still look brand new. He is still slipping on the ice, but he's not very steady on his feet to begin with. That said, it doesnt' seem to phase him at all to fall over. This is much better than the crying in pain and he doesn't seem to mind them at all.

Leider wieder nichts "Gescheites". Und für den Preis hatte ich dann doch etwas mehr erwartet. Die Innennähte sind zeimlich stark und sehr hart. Das Material recht steif ... gut, vielleicht wird beim Tragen weicher? Nun kann ich nicht mehr darüber schreiben, weil ich die Schuhe gar nicht erst richtig ausprobiert habe. Lediglich das Anfassen und Abtasten des "Innenraums" hat mich veranlasst, sie sogleich retour zu senden. Nun warte ich auf die Erstattung (was aber zeitlich noch völlig im Rahmen des "Normalen" ist und aktuell keinen Grund zur Klage darstellt.)Es bleibt offenbar schwierig, gute, bequeme, passgenaue und stabile Hundeschuhe zu finden. Derweil helfe ich mir weiterhin mit den günstigen Walker-Booties, die zwar schön weich sind, nur leider nie lange halten.

I used to DRIVE somewhere to walk my dog in the winter because of the snow, ice, salt, and filthy slushy streets we had to cross in our neighborhood. Then I changed jobs and my dog walking schedule and I have no choice but to walk her right here at home. I don't have the money to be buying her boots that get lost in the snow. I've been using balloons on her feet and it's doable but a pain. I think I read every single review of every single dog shoe on the market before deciding to try these.They work, they really work! So far, they have stayed on through 2 walks in our neighborhood. One walk was 8 city blocks, the other was longer, maybe 10 or 12 blocks. Each walk included bare sidewalks, curbs, steps, packed snow, ice, 6" deep fluffy snow, ice melt salt, and dirty slush in streets. I almost didn't use the shoes because I thought our brand new shoes would be filthy after just one walk but they really didn't pick up the dirt. I shook off the snow and hung them on clothespins near a heat duct so they'd be ready for our next walk.My dog was not thrilled with them at first and kept lifting her rear feet after I put the boots on. But she loves her walks and the minute we got outside it hardly seemed any different than usual. One thing I noticed is that the booties make a little sound as she walks, like the pitter patter of little feet. She has stumbled a couple of times that I attribute to the boots and maybe it will get better with time. She kind of stumbled up a snow-bermed curb and she stumbled when she tried a flying leap. Overall her walking pattern, speed, etc., seemed very normal. I had to keep looking to see if the front shoes were still on (they were--YAY!)SIZING:My dog is a 15# long-legged mutt, maybe a shih tzu terrier cross. Her feet, when pressed down on paper, measure 1 1/4" across. Based on the sizing guidelines and info from reviews, I ordered the Petite. When they came I almost sent them back. The foot part looked OK, but I thought no way was her limp foot gonna make it through the opening, and yes it was a little awkward/difficult threading her foot in, but it was easier the second time. The next size up would be way too big and flappy in the feet. I would say 1 1/4" width is about the biggest foot that will fit in the Petite size. I would have to agree with some other reviewers that if you have a really tiny dog, the Petite will be too big, but balloons should work.A SAFETY PRECAUTION ABOUT BALLOONS - CHOKING HAZARD:My dog was pretty OK with using balloons on her feet. One day as I was putting them on, one ripped and I stepped away from her long enough to get a balloon from the next room. When I came back I noticed that one balloon was missing from her feet and thought it had just come off. But then she started gagging a little bit. She wasn't actually chewing or choking; she just seemed a little odd. I couldn't get her to open her mouth or even force it open.We went ahead outside for her walk and she kept doing these little tiny gags. Finally, luckily, very soon a bright green balloon suddenly appeared on the sidewalk. She had it in her mouth or throat the whole time and I'm lucky she didn't die. Children die from swallowing balloons so watch your dog carefully if you use balloons on their feet. Don't let your dog out of your sight when they have balloons on their feet and don't leave them within your dog's reach in between walks. Dogs love chewing on rubbery things and may be especially inclined to chew up and kill those rubbery things you keep putting on their feet.If you try balloons, you need to cut off most but not all of the neck. It needs some of the neck to be tight enough to stay on. Only use them for short term use as they are tight on the dog's legs and also sweaty.ULTRA PAWS DURABLE BOOTS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I am thinking of ordering a spare pair for when these need to be washed. Also it seems inevitable that a boot will go missing sometime and I'll have plenty of spares on hand.
