Shoes for Dogs
Shoes for Dogs.
This must be one of those seemingly absurd things, shoes for dogs. But actually, there are many advantages of letting your dogs where shoes. And fashion or style is not one of them. It’s one of those things that your dog will not be comfortable with initially, but they can get used to it over time.
Advantages of Doggy Shoes
When it rains, shoes can limit the amount of moisture and mud the dog brings into the house and reduce the amount of time and hassle spent drying them off after a walk.
It reduces the need to clean their paws when you return home from the walk.
If you know the park that you bring them to may have harmful pesticides amidst the grass or plants, it can prevent their bare feet from touching it.
Shoes can add additional cushioning and support for your dog, especially for the more senior ones.
If you’re on a hike or in a terrain where it is a little rocky with many uneven surfaces, it can prevent any accidental cuts and gashes to their paws/pad.
Protect their paws. Preventing wear and tear to the paw pads, and also reduces the possibility of cracked paw pads whilst preventing their paw pads from feeling the heat on pavements and roads.
The best kind of shoes for your dogs are those that are water resistant, especially in rainy conditions. Make sure the sole has texture and it’s rugged so that it helps prevents slip and gives more grip. Having the right fit also allows for a more comfortable walk. Reflective bits will allow them to be more easily seen, especially at night and if your dog is darker in color. There are quite a few options online, here are just some for you to consider (or find more shoes here).
