Muttluks All-Weather Dog Boots – Warm, Cozy, Water Resistant Socks for Dogs, Puppies – Stretchy, Adjustable Pet Booties – Leather Soles, Reflective Straps – 4 Pack – Yellow, XX-Small

My German Shepherd constantly licked and chewed his paws. I ordered these to prevent his paw pads from constantly being inflamed and raw. They also prevented him from picking off the moisturizer on his paw pads. Then the ice/snow/sleet came! He happily wore his Muttluks to play in the strange stuff outside! His boots lasted 12 years until he passed away.Now I have the cutest white lab who isn’t a fan of wet paws and licks/chews his paw pads raw. Mom’s not a fan o of mud and grass tracked through the house. Muttluks to the rescue again (I hope)!I’ll keep y’all posted.

My dog much prefers this style of boot to rubber soled styles. The size is accurate and they work well. My dog doesn't slip much and even better, her feet are protected. They do tend to slide off from time to time. I'm not sure if this is due to the design, my dogs paw shape, the way she walks, or how I put them on. But just something to keep an eye on.

BOTTOM LINE: Good quality boots that don't slip off (if they're the right size) but there is too much extra material to make them ideally snug, and though the leather soles keep your dog's paws safe from hot pavement, they're too thin to provide ideal protection and may tear if worn often.SIZINGThe only question here at Amazon refers to sizing. It's interesting because I had the owner of Muttluks on the phone and when I asked her the dimensions of the small bootie, she didn't know the answer and said her sizing chart doesn't need to be improved.Muttluks makes a big deal on their website about making sure the fit is "snug" but they do not take into account the width of a dog's paw; only the length. This means the boots are relying on the Velcro strap to make them snug, which means the bootie is cinching a fair amount of extra material (from the width) that doesn't need to be there and makes walking more of a chore. There is also more material length-wise, depending on the size of your dog's paws and where they fit in the range given on their sizing chart. My dog has tripped a few times on uneven pavement.The small, all-weather bootie is 3" wide at its widest point (near the heel), 2" wide near the top, where it tapers and then becomes narrower. The part that covers the paw is just over 3" long (from the Velcro strap to the tip). The entire length is just over 6.5". The soft part of the bootie that rises over the ankle is 2.25" wide and stretches to 4" and contracts right back (this is a good thing). The Velcro strap is much longer than the diameter of my dog's paw and there is no place to tie it to so it literally sticks out.PROS-Quality materials, sewn well-If you get the right size, they won't fall off your dog's feet (unless you didn't cinch them well); this is true due to the Velcro strap and the booties going up high on your dog's leg.-On hot pavement, the leather underside does get warm but the temp inside the bootie is not hot (I checked).-Easy to put on, easy to slip off.-The Velcro works well and cinches as tight as you want it (extra long so you can cut it).CONS-Depending on the size of your dog's paw, there is a considerably wide gap, width-wise, depending on your dog.-If your dog's paws are on the smallest part of the range given for the bootie's length, that's even more extra material and less of a snug fit.-All four boots are the same size but my dog's paws are not (front paws are bigger than back paws). To be fair, the only booties I've looked into are made this way but how hard is it to allow for different sizing? My dog's front paws are 1.75" wide and 3" long. Her back paws are 1.5" wide and 2.5" long. Looking at the dust imprints left on the soles of the shoes, her paws walk at the front of the bootie, where its narrower, and there is a 1" gap on three sides of the bottom of her paws; that's 3" of extra material.-The leather sole gets warm when it's hot outside. It would be nice if this part was reinforced so it's less likely to tear and less likely to change the temp on my dog's foot. It's not; it's one piece.-It's hard to size your dog with their sizing chart because it is so vague. I cut my dog's toenails before sizing.

The best I’ve found for my Cavalier King Charles spaniel. I tried and returned Qumy and UltraPaws booties. The Qumy had zippers - not good for furry feet! The UltraPaws had dense foam around the ankle and, for a little dog, were impossible to get on and, even if I could get them on, the bottoms seemed awfully stiff . Might have worked for big sturdy dog?These Muttluks are easy enough to put on and are flexible enough for a 15lb dog. They stay on and my dog has no trouble walking or jumping around.I measured and the XS size works for my Cavalier. I introduced them gradually, with lots of treats and praise. Dog found them awkward at first, but he doesn’t mind them now.Haven’t tried in the snow yet and I can’t speak to the durability. I’m happy so far!

These size small work fine for a whippet mix about 40 lbs when walking on lava rock. They stay on but if I were to leave her unsupervised she would take them off. Dog booties have to be strapped pretty firmly so I would not leave them on long anyway. Took a few days of walking/training her to get comfortable using them and not purposely kick them off.

I was initially impressed but quickly became disappointed: the boots performed fine in snow, and on grass. but the first time my dog wore them on the pavement, two of them tore at the seams. The boots are useless after being worn just twice!

1st WINTER REVIEW:These are my 3rd brand of dog shoes so far. I've used them all winter and they are still in great shape.My 70 pounds Doodle is quite active out there and they fell off maybe once or twice, but it was because I had put them on not tight enough.A lot of reviews talk about the boots falling off often, but you just need to buy the right size and tight them just enough so they will stay on, but not too much to avoid constricting your dog's blood flow.Pros:+ With a good fit, they won't fall off+ Made from sturdy materialsCons:- The velcro on the boots won't last more than 2 years. I'm pretty sure the boot will still be in good shape by then.Overall, great quality, at a great price.I'd buy them again.

The boots are the best out of one that are available. We had set that after 3 years plus of use started to show wear.. I wend and bought new one for out german shepherd dog. The only issue I had was related to quality of the boots. After a week of use one of the boot top tread was totally off. I still love the design and perhaps QC have to be improved to ensure that poor workmanship is improved. That is why four stars, and perhaps would give only three but had such a good experience with this brand before.

I wore the boots on my dog for one outing of walking in a grass field covered in snow ( 1.5 hours) by the time we got back they were worn out. I had heard a number of good reviews so guess i was expecting more than one outing with them. Of course now because I waited till we had snow and time to use them now the return window is closed. I would not recommend purchasing these boots. I have attached 1 picture of the worst boot but all 4 have significant wear. I was careful to buy the correct size so went into a store to try on first. really disappointing.

These are the best boots I have tried on my boxer who loves to run.... they stay on in mid and snow. They fit just as they are described, you don’t have to worry about ordering up or down a size.... so psyched to finally have something good for my dogs feet- so worth the money! I have tried 3 other kinds and none stayed on for one day!
