[NAGDU] Boots

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Sherrill.
I don't know if they'd protect from heat.  I'd guess not, since they're
fairly thin rubber.  I'd be a bit worried they'd melt a bit, if the pavement
was really hot.
My dogs tolerate them pretty well.  They're not thrilled, but they don't
balk, either.  I think the thinness of the sole helps the dog feel like his
contact with the ground is normal, if you know what I mean.  
Tracy

Hi Tracy,

Do you know if these boots would give any protection against hot pavement?
Probably not like heavy duty RuffWear boots, but perhaps enough when walking
quickly through a short stretch of parking lot, for example?
Maybe the website gives info on this subject. It sounds as if this type of
boot would be tolerated better by a dog who has not worn boots for years.
Thanks for any advice.

Sherrill

I like the Pawz boots, myself.  They're like balloons, only a little
thicker.  They don't do anything for warmth, just salt and ice, but they fit
tightly around the ankle and don't come off.  And they're really cheap, and
come with several to a box, so losing one is no big deal.
I got the large size, as I recall, and they've fit both labs I've used them
on fine.

Ruffwear's boots are sold in pairs, too.  Their sizing info is pretty 
good, as well.
