[NAGDU] These Boots were made for Walkin'...?

[Danielle Sykora]

I'm wondering if the socks would help the boots stay on? I have Pawz
boots for my dog. They seem to fit his front paws fine but they keep
falling off the back paws and the same happens with every boot I've
tried. He isn't thrilled with anything on his paws, but he absolutely
despises traditional boots. Does Musher's Secret protect against both
temperature extremes and chemicals? Maybe it's something I should try.
