Are dog shoes a good idea?

Dog shoes are beneficial for protecting paws from extreme temperatures, sharp objects, and harsh chemicals. They're especially useful for dogs with paw sensitivities or those recovering from injuries.

What kind of shoes are best for dogs?

The best dog shoes depend on your specific needs. Waterproof boots work well for wet conditions, insulated ones for cold weather, and breathable options for hot pavement. Look for adjustable closures and non-slip soles for optimal fit and safety.

How do I measure my dog's paws to wear dog shoes?

Place your dog's paw on paper and mark the width at the widest point and length from tip to heel. Add 1/4 of an inch for accuracy. Alternatively, press their paw onto paper to make an imprint and measure the outline.

What temperature should dogs wear shoes at?

Dogs should wear shoes when pavement temperatures exceed 85°F (which can occur when air temperatures are just 77°F) or when temperatures drop below freezing. Also consider shoes when walking on salted roads or chemically treated areas.
