jetcitywoman Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So I was browsing amazon.com for dog stuff because I can't resist... well, seriously I hate shopping, but can browse for hours on amazon.... I started looking at dog boots. They do have a few for summer, none of them particularly well-criticized by other purchasers. It made me realize that I've read in here some comments about using boots in the winter, but not summer. I walk Capri daily, actually several times a day, so I'm concerned about her little feet on the hot pavement. We have sidewalks which are better than asphalt, and she also has the option to walk on peoples' lawns next to me on the sidewalk, so it's not a huge problem. But it is a concern. Does anybody make decent summer boots that stay on, deflect the heat, and are well-tolerated by the dog?

jetcitywoman Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Awesome thank you! They do look sturdy and well-designed. I'm going to buy a pair and see how they work.

Guest Energy11 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Check The Voyagers K9 Apparel website. They have lots of different types of boots. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Might be worth exploring this as well: http://www.musherssecret.net/ It's very easy and non-greasy to apply. I've used it in the winter but not the summer yet -- I'm planning to try it tomorrow, though, when Beth is going to be in a parade (as part of a float promoting greyhound adoption, of course!). I can't say I understand how it would really protect against hot pavement -- has anyone used it for that?

Guest mtnbluebird Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I've used the mushers secret on my boys, they love it! It's like a little foot rub for them and it makes their pads nice and shiny black, but is not slippery and has a nice smell. It's nontoxic so its ok if they lick. (It seems to be good for my hands too, absorbs quickly) I use it primarily to soften one of my dog's corns. I have a nice shady dead end street so hot pavement is not a concern. One of the claims on the package is that it protects against pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vince Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I use PAWZ, it's not the best protection from pieces of broken glass or really sharp things but they are easy to put on, they stay on, they fit greyhound feet good, it takes seconds for the dog to get use to them.
