My Busy Dog Water Resistant Dog Shoes with Two Reflective Fastening Straps and Rugged Anti-Slip Sole | Dog Boots Perfect for Small Medium Large Dogs | Size Chart in Pictures

I was so happy that i finally found something that fits my pomeranian, then i used it once and i saw some scratches on my pom's skin, i thought maybe it happened before, so today i used these shoes again, since it's raning so bad in seattle, and this is what i get (look at the picture). The material is so hard that it easily scratch his skin and it starts bleeding, i feel so bad now, he couldn't say anything i walked him for 10-15 min like that, i wouldn't recommend this product.

These booties did not work for my Doberman. In fact, they actually harmed her by creating a huge open sore on one of her paws! I used them just a few times. The company followed up with me to see how "happy" I was, and when I wrote back that I was a very unhappy customer, I heard NOTHING BACK FROM THEM EVER AGAIN! Poor customer service. I am returning my booties for a full refund, but my poor dog is still left with a painful open sore! Bad!!!!!!!!

My first set of dog booties. The reason I got them is because I took him to a dog park with deep gravel, and he tore up all his pads and was laid up for a week. Imagine a two-year-old border collie laid up. It means he was in serious pain!Reading all these reviews and talking to friends guided my expectations as well as how I tried out these booties. Also, I read reviews on booties for actual mushing dogs, and it sounds like:a) They can fall off if not strapped on tight;B) They do wear out, especially if you're running/walking your dog a lot. (One musher dude said he brings like 3,000 dog booties with him on the Iditarod). So if you're walking your dog in them every single day, expect them to wear out fairly quickly.C) I heard from a friend that her dogs' paws swelled up after wearing them, so I watched for this.D) Be sure you clip all your dogs nails, including dew claws! Or else they rub and hurt your dog (blood!) and tear through the bootiesSo - got the booties - put em on the dog, and let him play around our house. Immediately one fell off. Called him back, strapped em on a bit tighter, pulling on them to make sure they wouldn't slide off, and set him free again. It's adorable the first time, by the way. The feel so weird to them, that they high-step around like a clydesdale, clopping around the house. We left them on him for ~30 minutes, throwing the ball around. They stayed on. He didn't mind them. No swollen paws.Next night: it snowed! So we let him out in the snow. He played for ~45 mins around our yard, bounding through the snow. Chased us on the sled, bounded after a tennis ball. Booties stayed on. No swelling.Next day: More snow! Took him outside and played dog snow frisbee for about an hour. Also played shovel-the-front-path-and-throw-all-the-snow-in-dog's-face. He loved it. Was adorable in his booties. None fell off. No swelling.Yesterday: Played some more just around the house. Noticed a little blood in the snow, and he kept lifting up his right paw as though to lick it. Got inside, checked the paw.... his dew claw was too long, and it rubbed and rubbed on the bootie till it bled. So we clipped all his nails short, including dew claw.Today: Still trying the booties out to make sure they don''t hurt him and we don't screw anything up. Took him on a 15 minute walk + 30 mins of snow frisbee. One bootie fell off because I did not strap it on tight enough. Put it back on, strapped tighter, oilá! No problems.At this point, I think they are great and do their job. I expect them to wear out if I take him walking in them every day. I expect them to get lost if I don't put them on tight enough.From the 10 or so negative or less-than-perfect reviews I have read, I think people are expecting too much. Dogs probably take a zillion more steps than we do per walk, hence, the booties wear out fast. LIke I said, Iditarod dude carries 3,000+ booties. Their claws need to be trimmed just like ours do so we don't poke holes in our socks or get black or bloody toe nails. And they gotta be strapped on tighter than you think. Then, START SMALL! 5 mins, ten mins... try em out to make sure you don't 'have any kinda user error.NOTE: I mis-read the questions and thought i had to order a quantity of TWO items in order to cover four paws. But ordering TWO gave me two sets of four. I think I will keep them, since I expect the first pair to wear out.Thank you My Busy Pet!

I got these shoes because we have an abundance of sandburs in our yard this year. The hateful sandburs will stick to just about everything, whether it's bare skin, fur, paw pads, toes, clothing, etc. And they sure hurt! They're so bad that my poor bullmastiff literally does not want to go outside, not even to go to the bathroom. I was really hoping the rubber on these shoes would be thick enough to withstand the sharp sandbur barbs, and it is! The sandburs lodge in the rubber soles, but don't make it to Gus's paws.I measured Gus's paws by placing a blank piece of paper on the floor under one paw, then picking up the opposite paw (so all of his weight was shifted to the paw on the floor) and tracing the width of the paw on the paper. I measured both a front paw and a hind paw, since there can be discrepancies between them. Gus was kind of between sizes, so I opted for the larger size and the shoes fit great. It took him a few minutes to get used to walking with these shoes on, but he caught on quickly and was trotting around in our yard in no time!

Update. Took my dog on an 8 miler today and he came back with bloody paws. Both back paws looked like this and the front had similar but not as bad raw spots. All 4 feet effected though.

 I purchased these for my Jack Russell Terrier because I suspected he may be experiencing some discomfort in his feet. He is only a year old and did not have as much energy or enthusiasm about going out on adventures as I thought the breed should have. I also noticed some irritation between his toes.I put these little shoes on him (size 1) and with in 20 minutes he was like "Super-Dog"! Running twice as fast and for as twice as long, jumping, climbing, and exploring places of tough terrain he had never wanted to go before. He is now filled with such exuberance! He is very happy with these shoes on. They fit very well, don't slip off, go on easily, and are attractive. My dog doesn't try to take them off or bother with them in any way while wearing them.I still have to wait and see how long they last, he has only been wearing them for a couple of days.
