Dog Boots for Rain or Snow
Posted by Kimberly on July 10th, 2009
Well, I must say, we actually did it…
…We actually bought footwear for animals that don’t actually need them…LOL
However, when it’s rainy or snowy outside, like it often is in Spring, Fall and Winter in Canada, they can be handy. Even during the summer when you happen to get 1 week of rain! LOL
Now, bear in mind…We have 5 dogs in our Canadian household when we visit – 4 miniature schnauzers and 1 Westie-poo.
For the Westie-poo…forget about it – She hates you even looking at her feet, let alone touch them, so don’t even bother trying with a pooch you have that you know they feel the same way about feet!
For the other gluttons for attention in the household, namely Kaptain, Kurious, Knosey and Precious, they don’t care what you do to them, as long as you’re paying attention to them and loving them up!
Yes, these booties can keep their feet dry and clean, as long as they’re not tearing around the yard chasing bunnies, squirrels, birds or each other, like ours.
Sometimes, they’ll come back to the door with a couple of those booties missing and you might not find them again until Spring…LOL
However, for those occassions where you are patient enough to let them outside one-by-one or two-by-two, these are great.
Puppies may have an issue with these booties and try to chew them off, so be sure to accompany them outside until you know they’re accustomed to these new garments.
Also, you might have a good laugh the first few times they wear them – as our dogs felt they didn’t even know how to wak, all of a sudden, with these “heavy” things on. It was hilarious…
Try them out – they’re relatively inexpensive and you’ll probably appreciate your dog’s feet not being so wet and dirty after a romp outside in the rain, sleet or snow!
