Pawz Dog - Red Dog Boots

My Parsons Russell needed a toe amputation so I hunted the internet and pet shops for a shoe/boot etc for him to use while walking. His legs are so scrawny and paws so naturally thin that I've had real trouble finding something to fit. The Mikki boot was my first choice but was unable to get it on his very delicate, poorly foot, which still had stitches. I've found the Pawz rubber balloon like socks to be ideal. I have arthritis myself in my hands and struggled for while to get to grips with putting the rubber sock on. Making sure my dog was sitting or laying quietly on the settee to make life easier for me, with his front paws hanging over the edge of the seat, I began by placing 4 fingers in the neck of the sock to pull and spread apart and slowly and gently eased his paw in, then removing my fingers to allow the sock to close neatly around his ankle part, he was ready to go. I found it not only stayed on, but stayed in place and for me, I consider each rubber sock to be thick enough to be long lasting. I think it works well because he is able to feel the ground and he walks so much better with it on. (Brief note of before the Pawz arrived - I had placed his foot and leg in a clean new poo bag and tied the handles above his elbow which helped keep the bag on his foot/leg and kept his paw from getting dirty, especially with stitches still in - so the rubber pawz socks are proving to be worth their weight in gold.) THANK YOU PAWZ. I realise they are not designed for medical protection, but in the house, his foot is free as I let the air get at it. Out of doors we simply need to keep it covered and protected.

The boots were bought to keep my dog's injured paw clean and dry while it heals and the boots certainly do the job, they fit tight around the top stopping any ingress of dirt or water and once on they don't impede the dog in any way. Four stars instead of five because they're so difficult to put on. Pawz has a video on their website demonstrating how to put the boots on but even so I struggled, and that's with a cooperative dog, if he'd been a wriggler I wouldn't have got the boot on at all. I thought there must be an easier way so I experimented a little and came up with this. I stretched the boot over the end of a short piece of plastic tubing of the appropriate diameter after splitting the tubing from top to bottom and placed the foot inside, then I removed the plastic tube. It's a bit 'Heath Robinson' but it works. I suspect 2 people working together would find it easy to put the boots on a dog, one to stretch the neck of the boot while the other to places the dog's foot inside, and maybe some folk manage perfectly well on their own, but I couldn't, and reading the reviews I'm not alone. I'm sure the good folk at Pawz could come up with a simple cheap device similar to (but better than) my effort. If they did I'd certainly buy one and they'd get more stars on their reviews.

Bought for my little man who had a nasty foot infection during the Summer. We don't know what caused it ,but were told that it could be an allergy to grass,mud ,ivy, who knows! So, I decided t give these a try after reading the reviews.He is a French Bulldog/Staffy X and weighs approx 15kg and on measuring his paws as per the instructions on the description, I got him the red Pawz. They are like tough balloons, it takes a little while to get the knack of putting them on, but he is happy to wear them and unlike other boots & socks that I have tried , he doesn't keep shaking his feet when he walks. Because they fit so closely, they do not appear to annoy him. I have re-used a couple of the boots over 5 times now, I have only torn one when I was trying to use it the second time after washing it. I have found that if I put some cornflour onto the boot inside and out , it prevents the rubber from sticking to itself and makes it easier to get on. They definitely help to protect his paws and are tougher than I expected.

Not a good product. These are basically four balloons. Except they don’t have a neck on them so when you’ve decided that you don’t want to put your dogs foot inside a balloon, you can’t even inflate them and use them for your children party. Don’t bother.

These are like rubber balloons, they didn’t work being too big/tight in the wrong places. However I am giving three stars for the comedy value of watching the dog walk with these on!

During some of the heaviest snowfall in years, we found our little dog was in agony with the salt/grit, we couldn't get him to walk anywhere in it as his paws were burning. Thankfully these little booties done the job. They look like little balloons and simply stretch over their paws, they are re-usable, just rinse and leave to dry. Our little pug took the small size but check out the pawz website for the size guide. The only thing I would say is the looks and comments you get! Folk think it's a fashion statement and the amount of times I had to explain... Dog walkers however know the perils of grit/salt so once you get to the park no-one blinks an eye. My little dog did walk like Bambie the first time he had them on, but once he got outside he forgot they were on. A god send and they only took 1 week to arrive from The States which was quite something considering all my xmas cards took 3 weeks longer (all uk).

Couldn’t get these dog boots on my dog as the stretch didn’t allow for due claw and I ordered the right size there was no mention of this in the description that said easy to get on. These were not

having spent a winter fighting cracked painful pads on my parson russell terrier I found these and finally she can go for a walk without the worry of the salt,grit,ice, mud etc,ect damaging her pads. these fit perfectly and after less than a minute she was off doing terrier things!they are not difficult to get on and stay put. My dog is very active and as we live in a forest the ground she covers varies from rough stone to tarmac and muddy forest tracks, these little "balloons" handled it all and have been re used twice already and will be used again today. As for other reviews commenting on the size, perhaps if you measure you dogs paws as recommended then visit the website you will get a better idea of which size to buy. A life saver for dogs with sore pads.

Indispensable pour les chiens qui craignent le gel ou la neige qui s'amasse entre les coussignets et blesse mon chien. Très utile aussi en cas de pansement : permet de marcher sans souci de salir le pansement

This is fourth time I have bought these for my 4.5 years old Pug. This is an awesome product and protects our little baby from ticks and fleas and dirt. We put these shoes on him daily two times a day while taking our Pug for walk. Only problem is, it gets dirty easily. Solutions to this is to make sure your pets nails are not overgrown and also avoid letting your pet walk on stones. Also we wash the shoes everytime after the walk ( in pics) and once they get dry we put powder into those as they stick with each other after drying.

Le scarpe assomigliano a dei palloncini, ma sono molto più spesse e robuste. Le ho già usate varie volte e vanno ancora benissimo. Qualche difficoltà nel metterle, ma a vantaggio della tenuta in passeggiata. Zampe asciuttissime e pulite nonostante la pioggia notevole. Ottime e rivelatesi non monouso

1) my dogs feet was exactly 2.5 and i debated getting this pair or the 1 size up...i decide to get this one and they fit perfect to size no need for a size up like i was worried about 2) to help.. on the package for my size small that i got the breeds listed on the package says: beagle, boston terrier, fox terrier, french bulldog, jack russell, shetland sheepdog, and shiba inu....(I have a shiba inu and was shocked they were even listed since they aren't a well known breed wish this was listed on the information on these shoes cause it wouldn't have taken me 2 days to decide what size to get) 3) i use these because my dog has allergies to something in or on the grass out here in japan and she was chewing her feet til the bleed and no meds were working from the vet...so i tried this and it has stopped the itching and i love that they are cheap and all. For my dog they are a little bit of a pain to take on and off just to go outside to play or potty but for me its worth it than spending $100s on allergy meds 4) i tried to leave them on for the whole day at first for her to get use to them and noticed she was panting HARD..checked her feet and they were burning up...they don't breath so i don't recommend keeping them on too long..dogs release heat from their feet thats why you see dogs in summer dipping their paws in water to cool themselves down. We took off the shoes and 5-10 mins later her panting had stopped and her feet weren't on fire no more. 5) i have been using the same pair now for over a month and still no holes so they last long. 6) i also bought an expensive nice pair and she hates those and never wants to walk right in them...these it only took her 1/2 day to get use to them and walk properly again. she still tries to shake them off the first few seconds they go on but after that she runs and plays and forgets they are on. I think it does make a big difference that she can feel the ground through this thin material and her toes can spread out like normal on the ground. 7) works VERY well to keep the feet dry and mud free when letting outside to potty when its raining saves me time not having to wipe her feet when she comes in, just got to pull off the shoes.

Aunque a mi perrita no le agradan tanto son muy funcionales para que no se moje las patas con los charcos!
