10 Minute Dog Boots

Step 5 Enjoy the Warmth

Push the toe fold out of the top flare to make the boots right side out.

Your dog's feet should easily slip into the boot. As mention before any boot can go on any foot...

The Velcro strap is wrapped snugly around the taper in the boot. Do not tighten too much or it will be uncomfortable for your dog. She (or he) will let you know by chewing on the strap if they are too tight.

Most dogs do not take to boots right away and prolonged high stepping is common. Try not to laugh as your dog will know and will take to hating the boots permanently.

The cold should no longer prevent the dog from walking and playing in the snow....

Thanks and I am glad the boots worked for you.
Sorry for the delay in responding to your post.

 You have a very gorgeous dog!

[kimvellore]

[Random_Canadian]

Thank you. She will be 6 in August, And she loves people.

 I had a black lab but she had to be given away due to moving, i think they make great dogs

There might be breeds as good, but none better!

I have to say that she is the best. She has more personality than I know what to do with... Sorry for your loss...

So how hard would these be to hand-sew? Since my dog only weighs 5 pounds, I'm thinking it might not be too bad??

 

[Random_Canadian]

I haven't tried hand sewing these but the stitching is quite basic so it shouldn't take too long. You may have to use an awl to punch holes for the velcro and suede pads if you use these.

Also a smaller dog will have to adjust the pattern sides to accommodate for the smaller foot.

Thanks for this! I hate shoes, too, but I live in Minnesota and it doesn't take long to damage your feet when it's as cold enough you might as well measure in Kalvin.

[Yerboogieman]

Kelvin?

[SixTwelve]

Nope, I meant Calvin. It's when it's so cold you'd cut your stuffed tiger wide open and crawl inside like Luke in a tauntaun.

Actually I probably meant Kelvin. Thanks for the correction. ;)

BRILLIANT!!!

I believe we now have a new cold standard...

[Random_Canadian]

Oh man.. Minnesota... now that is cold. At least we get the Chinooks here and the cold doesn't last for more that 2 weeks.

The Snow Eater - 70 degrees and the snow just peels off. That and what we call the Hawaiian express are the major cause of floods here.

NiIIIice I wish it was 70. another day of -13C  and I HATE the cold.

Xena is happy again though.

I sense a trend with her. Happy one day and happy the next. I do think that her biggest daily problem is where to poop.

It's the 29th of January and it's shirtsleeve weather here in Colorado Springs.
