[nagdu] Winter Apparel For Dogs

[Darla Rogers]

Dear Mark,

	I you use boots, you have to try to hold the dog's foot in one hand,
dew claw included, to slide the boot on and then double-check that the boot
is positioned correctly with dew claw inside; practice at home, when you
can, will help, as you aren't in a hurry to be out of the house, and that
will relax your dog and maybe make him feel better about boots.

I have never thought of getting my dog a winter cote, because as a German
shepherd he has a thick double cote. I do however have a set of boots for
him I got at REI. How do you accustom your dog to boots? My dog just refuses
to ware them.



My other question is my dog still has his dewclaw. How do you avoid this
getting irritated or injured by the tops of the boots?



Thanks,

Mark
