In yesterday’s post I said I’d share the dog boots I learned about when I took Joie to see Dr. Morgan yesterday.
Dr. Morgan told me about PawZ which are natural rubber dog boots. You can see Joie modeling them in the photo. Because they are a natural rubber this helps Joie’s feet from slipping out to the sides, and it especially helps while I am doing physical therapy for her to help keep her little paws in place.
They are great for ice/snow also when walking your dogs. I did have a bit of a challenge getting them on Joie, but really not all that bad. But check out the video page on how to best put them on, which I discovered after I tried for the first time and while writing this post. And once they are on, they stay on! I’ve tried other booties in the past and I’d say these are the best I’ve seen to date. Joie does not seem to mind having them on either– it’s as if she does not even know she has them on. They are one of those products where you hit yourself upside the head and say, “Now why didn’t I think of this!”
You don’t want to keep these on all day, but just for walking your dog or in Joie’s case they are great for helping aid in her physical therapy sessions. Dr. Morgan suggested then having them on no more than an hour.
Sizes run Tiny through XL. Though the only down side is each size only comes in one color– so as you can see Joie is stuck with orange, looking like Halloween colors. ha! If I had my way she’d of course have pink booties. But color aside, which is so trivial considering what a wonderful aid they are for her and helping her to be the best she can be despite having IVDD. We can deal with orange paws!
