I bought these for my sisters Boston Terrier for Christmas. She lives in Oregon and Brodie freezes his little feetsies off.
But I have no idea how durable they are, but they are cheaper.

Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

Tanner NEEDS booties! I live on a mountain and in the winter it snows like, every morning! If you find a knit or sewing pattern for them PLEASE send me a private message, I'd love to make him some to match the coat I made! aww!
Sasha has a pair of those, they're green. They are great, but I find they are somewhat hard to get on.

I have owned shepherds all my life and never have any needed boots to go out in any weather. I've seen these boots in pet shops but from the comments made I don't think boots stay on that well on any dog. Mushers sometimes use them but that's about the only ones I've heard of and their boots are not at all like the pet store boots.
Good idea Nicole since Sheena can't communicate her cold paws to you its great that you are being proactive...not everyone would do that for their fur babies.
don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....
I have been frosted!
Thanks Kfamr for the signature!
I found a pattern and made him some boots. They are great, but I lost one. when I get them all together I will post a picture. Funny thing is, I put on one boot to see how it fit, and he started walking around. But he walked on that one foot so funny! He'd barely touch the ground and think wow, that feels wrong! and then send his paw flying in the air!I need to video it, it's hilarious! I got a camera for Christmas, I'll use that!
I have boots that look just like that, except in blue and pink. I'm not sure if they are the same brand but they are the exact same style. I purchased them through pet edge. They've worked out well, though I don't use them much. They sometimes slip off but they do stay on better than other boots I've tried.
The only time I have really used them is on friends dogs actually. I keep them in my dogs hiking packs just in case but they've been on 12+ mile hikes fine, long walks in the snow fine, etc. I think their pads are tougher because of not using booties and regular walking...which makes it so their pads do not get torn up like I've seen on my friends' dogs....(one I used them on gets his main exercise chasing frisbees and running around on grass and the other does not get walked regularly at all). Maybe if you didn't use the boots as often her pads would be tougher? Just a thought. It just seems extreme that her pads would get so bad after such a short time in the snow. I think its a good idea for the hot cement though, when I walk my dogs in the summer its on dirt roads/trails so its not hot like that. Good luck!
