Lol they're actually polar bears! But I get dalmatians all the time. LOL They stay on pretty good. I really like to use them in the pool because Zac's parents have a liner and it makes me feel better knowing it may stop a toenail going through... just maybe. Lol We played outside for an hour and I had to fix one on Doc and one on Delta. But I don't think I had pulled them up high enough on their paws. They are reusable... but depending on how hard your dogs play, they may get a hole in them. I think the pack has four pairs in it... or something. Lol I like them, they stay on way better than other shoes I've bought.
