WinterWalk - Dog Boots with Suspenders

CHF 39.90
Model:Boots with suspenders (khaki)
Size:S
Quantity:

No road salt between the toes and no boot left behind in the snow. With WinterWalk, the four paw boots hang from adjustable suspenders that run over the back. That is why they don't slip off while walking, even on dogs that lose normal dog shoes after a few metres.

You choose between two models: tall boots with suspenders for small to large dogs, or a full suit with sewn-on shoes for small dogs up to 8.5 kg.

Model 1: Boots with suspenders (khaki)

  • They stay on: the four boots are connected by a chest strap and four buckles. You adjust the length to your dog at the buckles, and you can also clip the chest strap to the collar.
  • Cut high: the boots reach well above the paw joint and keep snow, salt water and dirt off the legs.
  • Made for winter: PU upper, lined inside, waterproof according to the manufacturer. The sole is rubber and non-slip, and each boot has a strap for tightening.
  • Sizes S to XL: from Pomeranian to Labrador.

Model 2: Full suit for small dogs (grey)

  • Protection for all four legs: an overall with four legs and sewn-on shoes, the back stays free.
  • Adjustable: three buckles over the back, hook-and-loop straps at the ankles.
  • Water-repellent fabric made of polyester, firm soles on all four shoes.
  • For dogs from 1.5 to 8.5 kg, sizes S to 2XL.

Size chart: boots with suspenders

Measure length A: from the paw of one front leg over the withers to the paw of the other front leg.

SizeLength AExample breeds

M/L72 to 95 cmCorgi

Several buyers say the boots run rather large. If your dog is between two sizes, take the smaller one.

Size chart: full suit

SizeBack lengthWeight
Sapprox. 25 cm1.5 to 2.5 kg
Mapprox. 30 cm2.5 to 3.5 kg
Lapprox. 35 cm4 to 5 kg
XLapprox. 38 cm5.5 to 6.5 kg
2XLapprox. 42 cm7 to 8.5 kg

Measure the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. If the weight falls between two sizes, the back length decides.

All measurements come from the manufacturer. If the size still doesn't fit, simply order the right one and send the first one back.

Getting your dog used to it

Put WinterWalk on for a few minutes indoors first, with treats and praise, and extend the time day by day. Many dogs walk stiffly for the first few minutes; this usually passes quickly. How to go about it is explained in Getting your dog used to winter boots. Whether your dog needs shoes in winter at all is covered in Does my dog need shoes in winter?

Care and notes

  • After the walk, rinse off salt and dirt with water and let it air dry, not on the radiator.
  • Only let your dog wear it under supervision and check the paws after longer walks.
  • Check regularly that buckles and hook-and-loop straps are secure.
