Worked great

Best dog boots I've used on my dogs. These were designed by a family who have sled dogs, and you can tell. They are durable, fit well, and rarely fall off (if one comes off its because I put it on too loose). I like the red colour because the few times a boot has come off, it is easy to find in the snow. You want your dogs foot pad to have space to spread as they walk, and these boots give that space, as long as you don't buy a pair that is small/snug. It doesn't matter how many times your dog wears boots, they always go through some resistance and high stepping. Just put the boots on, snug the two direction velcro straps, and start your walk. The dogs quickly forget the boots are on and they get to safely spend more time outside in the winter.

Great

I bought Petite for my dogs. My dogs are 1. (big size pure) Chihuahua (12lb) and 2. Miniature poodle mix (10lb). Their front paws are 1.25" and back paws are 1", WITHOUT putting their weight on them. When they put their weight on a paw, it spreads out to .25" bigger. I bought Petite (1.25") for both dogs and they are plenty big enough. I tried 1.5" boots (not this kind) but they were too big. Petite are too big for the back paws, but these are the smallest size on "Durable" boots, and they DO stay on their skinny legs. You have to fasten the lower Velcro pretty tight in order to make them stay on. They are a little big on the back paws and not perfect, but having boots on their paws on wet/snow surfaces is great. They are protecting their paws from cold, wet and chemicals.When I put boots on my dogs, they make sad faces, but once they start walking outside, they seem to be pretty happy. They run around on the snow, and cold and wet sidewalks. It has been very cold where we live, so the boots protect their paws. It is a huge relief that I don't have to worry about salt too.I have tried 4 kinds of boots. It was hard to find small size boots, and this one stayed on their feet/paws without altering, and my dogs were able to walk without too much trouble (just needed to get used to them - some boots were very hard to walk with). My dogs did the "bootie dance" first time, but they got used to them quickly. It was easier for them to practice walking outside than inside. They have been wearing 1-3 times per day for about 3 weeks now, so they are used to wearing them and very happy with the boots. They are running and pouncing on snow, and walk better on wet places.We are getting better with putting the boots on dogs' paws too. You need some practice to put their paws all the way in and fasten really well. Hold the boot wide open with one hand, and then push a paw in until it hits the end, then fasten it. Watch the dewclaws! They could get caught and it would hurt. I hold their legs or hocks to guide and push paws into boots all the way, then hold the paw/boot so that the paw won't move - then fasten with the bottom Velcro. If paws are not deeply in the boots, it is hard for dogs to walk with extra material at the tip of the boot it flapping.The pads around the opening are helping them to stay on, and also keep snow out.Please, Ultra Paws, make smaller size for smaller paws! My dogs could use 1" size for back paws, and there are smaller dogs that need good boots!It is a lot of work to put boots on 8 paws, but with the winter weather, it's all worth it.
