Which Style Boots work for your Pup?

  • Snow- Try boots with velcro straps to keep them on tightly.
  • Waterproof is also great for wet areas.
  • A thick and rubbery sole can also be nice and comfortable for a long day of running around!

Tips on Getting Your Pup to like Boots!

• Let’s face it: Dogs usually like to be free of any clothing, so it can be a bit of a challenge.
• Try to slowly introduce them to a new pair of boots and not force them on
• Have them smell what they are and show them first
• Try putting them on inside at first and not for a walk just yet
• Take your time and try putting them on one-by-one, then two-by-two and eventually all four at once
• Use treats as a reward system every time they have them them on, showing them how great they’re doing!
• Once they are a bit more comfortable inside, try having them on outside for short walks
• After some time, your pup will start to adjust to them!
