Dog shoes keep pets feet warm, clean and safe in winter and autumn.
Indeed, there are many unfavorable factors on the street: broken glass, sharp objects, dirt, puddles, cold.
Using boots, you do not need to wash your paws every time after a walk.
How to choose the right shoes for dogs
For an animal, this is not a familiar accessory, which at first causes discomfort.
Therefore, boots or socks should be comfortable and functional.
When choosing shoes for dogs, pay attention to:
- Size;
- Material;
- Type of sole;
- Clasp type.
There is no single size chart.
Manufacturers offer their options. Since representatives of the same breed may have different parameters, boots, boots and socks should be selected individually.
If it is not possible to try on shoes, put your pet on a piece of paper or cardboard and circle the paws with a pencil. Add 0.5 cm to the resulting length.
The design should be light, securely fixed and repeat the bends of the pet's paws.
Choose a sole that won't slip. The type of fastener depends on the length of the animal's coat. For shaggy dogs, lightning will not work, because it can pinch it.
