Dog Booties

[SpanielsRule]

We generally try to stay in the grass when we take walks, but there are some parts of our walk where my dog needs to walk on the pavement. I worry about her little paws getting too hot on the pavement because it's been in the upper 90s so often this summer.

I was thinking about investing in some dog booties. Has anyone used these to protect their dog's feet? Did your dog adjust to them okay?

With me I always approach every tool or clothing slowly and desensitize a dog anything I am about to put on them like booties. I find slow is better because a dog can sensitize if we rush and have the opposite effect. They may not ever like the site of a boot for example.

I also test the pavement on a hot day with the palm of my hand. If it's to hot for me to keep my hand there it is definitely to hot for paws.

Hope this helps.
