If you live in an area that gets snow during the winter, you might consider purchasing dog boots to protect your dog’s paws from the cold and toxic chemicals used on ice and snow.  Dog boots come in a range of sizes from xxx-small to xx-large and most of them will have Velcro straps so you can adjust them to fit your dog’s paw.  Most of these boots are made from waterproof fabric and have a leather sole.

If you live in an urban area and walk your dog along the city sidewalks, these boots can protect your dog’s feet from getting coated with ice melt which is commonly used on sidewalks and driveways during the winter.  If your dog does get ice melt on their feet, wash them immediately.  You don’t want them to lick the chemical off and ingest it because it can be extremely harmful and will require a visit to your veterinarian.

The winter variety of dog boots are insulated and will help protect your pet’s feet from cold surfaces.  Extreme cold temperatures and surfaces is another concern during the winter because it can cause their pads to crack, bleed and possibly cause an infection.  Wearing the boots in snow will cut down on the amount of ice that gets stuck on the hair in between toes which can also cause their pads to crack.  Purchasing dog boots is a small investment to protect your pet’s feet.
