Dog - Black Dog Boots

One of my rescue bulldogs really suffers with his feet. We are currently on a long course of expensive antibiotics for recurring aggressive interdigital cysts. On top of that he has hyperkeratosis on his front pads. My Vet tells me in addition his body has tried to compensate by growing extra pads which as you can imagine aren’t as robust as his original proper pads. They are much softer and therefore more sensitive when he walks. We have tried a couple of the top brands for dog footwear and they all have the same problem of twisting on his foot as one of his paws splays to the side as he walks and we’ve ended up having to take them off on his walks. I didn’t have high hopes of these and the original plan was to fit these over his dog socks so he got the cushioning of his socks with the feeling and flexibility still intact. He set off in his socks and rubber boots very happily , never seen him so quick on his pins however his socks started to slip down and gather at the end of his toes. I had no option but to stop and remove the boots to take off the socks. Not to be deterred I replaced his boots straight onto his paws and expected him to slow down again but he was off again at a pace rarely exhibited in a slightly overweight bulldog. Personally I would like them just a tadge thicker which would suit my needs better however that said my boy is as happy as can be in them and can enjoy way more variety in his walks now they don’t have to be predominantly grass based. Incidentally one of the Vets at the practice recommends these for a variety of different dogs and their needs and I would echo that recommendation. They may appear very tight however they are super stretchy so certainly don’t cut off their circulation. Size wise we got large for our male bulldog, paw width approx 3inches.

Pawz dog boots have been amazing. We have used them for a few years and are the only dog boots we have re-bought. We use them as my dog has a neurological condition that means he drags his feet on the floor. These protect them. They stay on and although can slip off sometimes, that’s just because we didn’t notice that the shoe slid down the paw. The only dog paw shoe that I think is practical/usable without being frustrating.

Recommended by physio to protect dogs paws when he started with degenerative myelitis & dragging his back paw. Works well, a little tricky to get on so I stretch over a can of beans for 24 hrs first (use X-Large size)

I got these for my dog when she had a nail bed infection and we needed to keep the area clean and dry during winter...! These socks were ok and generally stayed on, although a couple came off during vigorous play. Please note that these are NOT to be left on your dog for a long period. We went away for the weekend and left our dog with the border who must have left them on the whole time so when I collected her she had a large, very deep cut where the sock dug in. This resulted in a vet visit and a vet bill. Two months later, it is just about healed.

Probably bought 150 packs over the last 8 years. Really like the product (see the old review below). But the latest batch is really poor quality, tears when stretched (before it's even over the paw) and never comes back from a walk intact. Really sad to see a great product decline like this. I've tried dozens of protective dog boots and most fall off within 10 minutes. These stay on brilliantly - we probably loose one every week (but only after our spaniel has been careering through the undergrowth). They also get holes occasionally, in which case they have to be binned. But they're pretty robust and you can reuse them time again. The only negative for me is getting them on - the instructions suggest have the dog lie on it's back with it's feet in the air - that just doesn't work for us. It's fiddly, you have to stretch the neck of the boot with 2 fingers and use the remaining fingers to guide the paw into the opening, but with a bit of practice and co-operation from the dog lifting it's paw, it's not too bad.

Worked well and stayed on. Quite tight around top so I slit it slightly and applied a piece of tape. Kept the main bandage dry and my German shepherd didn't mind wearing it (even although she is a coward)! I could use the same boot more that once so was quite economical.

I bought these, two sizes up from the original size tiny that I purchased for my Pomerainian, the tiny size were far too small. Not long enough to cover full paw and far two tight I thought they would cut circulation in my pups legs. I reported this and got two sizes bigger, bearing in mind In have a 1 yr old Pomeranian (tiny is the recommended size for a Pomeranian). The feel of the product was good and for initial use they were great however after an hour or so I checked my pups paws to find them triple the size and had to keep them off him. I used them on a sand surface and camped away for 3 days, my pup had a claw problem so I wanted to prevent infection and any sand abrasion they might get. I give two stars due to very poor circulation problems.

Only booties that stay on my boy while we are on a walk!

Ma chienne se rabotait les griffes d'une patte arrière suite à une hernie qui l'a paralysée en partie. Le temps de la convalescence et de la rééducation, ces chaussettes en forme de ballon à gonfler à la matière plus épaisse qu'un ballon, a protégé des griffes. A réception ca paraît impossible de glisser la patte dedans car l'embout est très étroit mais pour que ça ne glisse pas pendant la marche c'est bien ce qu'il faut. Il faut bien écarter l'ouverture et glisser la patte et remonter comme une chaussette.

Diesen "Hundestiefel" habe ich vor etlichen einigen Jahren als Verbandschutz für meine inzwischen verstorbene Hündin gekauft. Der Bund ist tatsächlich extrem eng, was ja etliche Rezensenten monieren. Da ohnehin klar war, dass ich aufgrund des Verbandes den Schutz in Originalform nicht würde nutzen können. Also entsprechend gekürzt. War dann bequem überzuziehen und hat auf dem Pfotenverband bombenfest gehalten, ohne abzuschnüren. Ich bin nun etwas erstaunt, dass anscheinend manche Rezensenten versucht haben, den wirklich sehr engen Bund über die Pfote ihres Hundes zu zwängen und klagen nun über Abschnürungen... Ich werde mir diesen Schutz nun für meine jetzige Hündin wieder kaufen, dieses Mal aber ohne Verband als Schutz vor Streusalz. Ich gehe davon aus, dass der Bund auch bei der erneuten Lieferung extrem eng sein wird... Aber wozu gibt es Scheren? Da der Schutz unterhalb des Bundes konisch verläuft, sollte der auch nach Kürzung halten. Falls nicht, hilft etwas Klebeband oder ein selbstklebender Verband, um den Schutz in einer angenehmen Weite zu fixieren.

Our dog absolutely hates booties. I can't get them to stay on his feet. No matter how tightly I velcro any booties, he is able to kick them off. This is especially inconvenient as we are walking in the freezing snow and eventually he holds his paws up or begins to limp. These rubbery balloon-looking-things have been a godsend! They are a pain to put on his feet, I admit. (Though I did see another review where someone bought a decide that helps spread the rubber to get them on.) They are the shape of a deflated balloon, so the top is very tight. However, once on, it doesn't appear to make him uncomfortable one bit and it keeps his feet completely dry! They are tight on his ankle but "balloon" around his toes. I make sure that none of his nails are poking the edge, which they shouldn't considering the width of the foot-part. This keeps him from tearing through them (he was in between sizes so I sized up). And best yet, they stay on his feet and don't appear to be slipping whatsoever! The temp is in the single digits right now and I am so grateful to have these boots for my dog. I even think he is beginning to put together that he's more comfortable with them on.

No son correctas las tablas, no sirven para un bichon frise, les incomoda aparte a los perros

No me gustaron, es demasiado difícil ponerlas, son muy duras al abrirlas para meter la pata del perro, son como globos. No las volvería a comprar
