Fit each paw
Boot shapes and fastening systems vary, and front and rear paws may not be identical.
Check traction and flexibility
A stiff or slippery boot can change movement.
Introduce equipment gradually
A dog may need time to become comfortable wearing unfamiliar paw gear.
Inspect after walks
Remove debris and check that the gear has not rubbed or loosened.
General product-selection information only. A pet's health, anatomy, mobility, breathing and behaviour can change what equipment is appropriate. Follow product directions and ask a veterinarian or qualified animal-care professional when those issues matter.
