Dogie Boots

[Tabitha]

I recently bought one of my shelties some little dogie boots to wear when we are out hiking but they keep coming off or his paw slides around in it so that the padded part isn't on his paw. As you probably have guessed TX does have a lot of cactus and thorns for my poor little babies to step on. I'm not only want dog boots for the thorns but for the hot cement. When it gets to 90*F as the low and 102*F as the high in the summer, then I like to have some protection on there paws! I've seen really good boots for $65 and up, but that is just way out of my price rang. If anyone knows of something of good quality and at a reasonable price I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

I have Muttluks (All Weather) for my dog, but some people really hate them. My concern when reading your post was them stepping on cacti needles and thorns. Makes me wonder if they will need those more expensive ones (my friend had to buy her service dog special ones because she was stung by a bee - and allergic - and it's always on the feet, the boots she has, a bee stinger can't get through it).

The Muttluks I have were for two things. Heat and water. It's got a leather sole and he seems not to care too much about them (as in they don't slip, don't bother him, etc).

That's my two cents. Oh, and Miko never "ran" in them, just walked. But again, he never seemed bothered by them and they only come off if I don't tighten them enough. That's usually cuz I'm in a rush or he won't stay still.

I sent you a PM.
