{"title":"Dog Boots \u0026 Paw Protection","description":"\u003cp\u003eDog paws are robust, but not built for everything. Road salt, sharp grit, icy paths, and hot asphalt in summer all take their toll on the pads. Dog boots relieve much of this strain. Here you'll find boots for snow, wet conditions, and rough terrain, as well as everything you need for paw care after walks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich dog shoes are right for your dog?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/dog-booties\"\u003eDog Booties\u003c\/a\u003e are our all-rounders. They have a non-slip rubber sole, keep paws dry in snow and wet conditions, and provide protection even on rough surfaces. They are available in five sizes from S to XXL and in four colors, suitable for small to medium-sized dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/snowstep-winterstiefel-hundeschuhe\"\u003eSnowStep winter boots\u003c\/a\u003e are designed for truly cold days: waterproof upper, warm plush lining, reinforced non-slip sole, and an adjustable Velcro strap to ensure a secure fit, even during the most energetic activities. Available in sizes S to XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth come in a set of four, so there's one for each of the four paws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes my dog even need shoes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot every dog needs them. A healthy dog with strong paw pads, especially one that walks primarily on natural paths and in fresh snow, usually manages perfectly well without them. Dog boots are particularly useful if you frequently walk on salted sidewalks and roads, if your dog has sensitive or cracked paw pads, for older dogs that are unsteady on slippery surfaces, and for long winter hikes over ice and hard-packed snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour dog will show you if his paws are bothering him: He might lift his paws alternately while walking, stop, lick his paws excessively after a walk, or ice clumps might form between his toes. If there are open wounds or deep cracks, the paw should be examined by a veterinarian first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to find the right size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDog shoes only work if they fit well. Dogs will lose shoes that are too big after a few meters, and those that are too small will pinch. Have your dog stand on a piece of paper so that its front paw bears weight, trace the outline, and measure the length and width, not including the claws. Compare these measurements to the size chart on the product page. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAcclimation and paw care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost dogs will run around like they're wearing flippers for the first few minutes. Let your dog wear the shoes briefly indoors first, praise and reward them. Gradually increase the wearing time over a few days before taking them outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether with or without shoes: In winter, rinse your dog's paws with lukewarm water after walks to remove salt residue and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes. The highly absorbent \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/dryhug-luxe-pet-towel\"\u003eDryHug terry towel\u003c\/a\u003e is ideal for this.
