A Bootie Nightmare
Wow! I am severely unimpressed with the quality of this product. As was asked by someone on Amazon’s Q&A page, yes, indeed, these are basically latex balloon material and nothing more.Some background… I was looking for some foot protection for my Golden Retriever who gets snow and ice stuck between her pads when winter arrives and we are outdoors. She doesn’t seem to need insulation as far as warmth goes, but I always worry about the snow and the potential salts on walkways when we’re out in the community. This seemed like an ideal solution.I was very wrong and should’ve heeded the warnings from some of the reviewers.First, the material is incredibly flimsy, but I was willing to give it a shot. These, however, are not easy to get on a dogs’ paws. Even stretching them (like you would a balloon) before putting them on did nothing. I was not thrilled about having something so tightly fitting around her leg, but I figured I’d give them a chance since they’d only be on for a short time and not used daily.I may have been able to get over the tight fit (I understand why this would be done to keep them in place), but the quality is ridiculous. After having them on for about 10 minutes, the included photos of the “bootie massacre” were the results. It was absolutely an indication that these would not work for us. We didn’t even get one solid use out of them, let alone getting any sort of reuse down the line. All four of the boots had holes and tears and one came off (impossible as that seemed to me at the start) while moving.I also tried another set on my Labrador (who doesn’t suffer with getting snow stuck, but I thought they might just work as protection from salt) and they fell off of her after 30 seconds of walking. Literally just came right off as she was walking – and I’m frankly not sure how it happened because the fit around the securing point was quite snug. She also had holes in hers and, as stated, they were only on her for a few seconds before they came off.Perhaps for very small dogs these might work in VERY delicate use situations (maybe – though I can’t imagine they’d be good for much of anything), but if a dog is of average to large size, I just can’t see these as a viable option at all. Such a shame and a waste of money, but I would hate to see someone else buy these and think they would get multiple uses out of them when one use didn’t even happen.

Great booty with a slight modification
My pup and I live in Colorado. She is a Border Collie with long haired hobbit feet and the snow turns into ice balls between her toes and she can’t keep going despite her desire to spend hours in the snow.I could not find any bootie that my pup would keep on – she managed to get out of everything we tried until I found these.They certainly stay on and she walks, runs and plays frisbee like she’s not bothered by them at all so they are comfortable and very functional.They are difficult to get on and I don’t think I’d be able to if she was a pup that resists paw handling.They are like heavy duty balloons which is why they are comfy for walking but her long hair gets tangled up in them and it hurts yo the point that she wouldn’t walk – just lay down and chew at them. To resolve that problem i use a strip of 4 inch self-sticking stretch gauze wrap around her ankle and then pull the booty on so the neck sits on the gauze instead of her hair. It works very well. See picture – she is wearing green gauze with the purple booty.I find these to be pretty durable- she can use the same pair for maybe 5 cold, snowy walks. One pack usually lasts a year.She seems to have a good grip unless on ice but it’s hard for all of us on the ice.Hope this tip helps someone else.

Enfin un bon produit !!J’ ai commandé ce produit pour mes chihuahuas , l’ hiver marcher sur le sol gelé n’ est pas agréable pour leurs petites pattes mon mâle avait des difficultés à marcher au bout de 5mn il demandait à être porté j’ ai essayé ces petite protections elles s adaptent très bien et n’ occasionne aucune gêne pour la marcheFacile à mette et solide …

Questa e’ un invenzione strepitosa, fantastiche, morbide , impermeabili , ideale per le medicazioni. Bisogna solo individuare bene la taglia, non tanto del “piede” ma nel punto della gamba dove sale in modo che non stringa troppo ma rimanga comunque ferma. Prodotto consigliatissimo.
