Excellent for keeping sandburs at bay! Money well-spent for my dog's comfort!
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!

Pep in his step
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.

Great quality, beautiful boots, but they didn't work for us
I purchased these shoes for my yellow lab Cody, who suffers from a skin condition that makes his skin (especially his paws) extremely sensitive. The skin around his pads will slough off and bleed if I let him run around in the snow without protection. Since we live in New England, and my dogs LIVE for their weekend hikes, it is absolutely essential that I find Cody a set of comfortable and durable dog boots.Having returned 2 previous sets of boots (other brands that either didn’t fit or lacked a satisfactory amount of traction), I was beginning to have doubts about the concept of dog boots on the whole. To my surprise though, I was immediately impressed by this set of waterproof boots. The overall quality was unlike any of the previous boots I had tried on Cody or had seen while searching Amazon. They are lined with a soft, smooth fabric and the rubber soles are unlike anything I’ve ever seen for a dog—I think they provide even more traction than my hiking boots give me!Fifteen minutes into our first hike and Cody was still running laps around me as I walked, clearly LOVING the pain free experience his new boots were giving him. I thought our problems were finally solved until…his first boot went missing in action. Unfortunately, I discovered a little too late that, in order to keep the boots from slipping off, I needed to really pull on the Velcro closures to get them tight enough for the boots to not slide off.After grudgingly calling off the search for the lost boot, I tightened the remaining 3 boots and we headed off again. At the end of our hour-long hike I loaded Cody into my car and removed the 3 boots. To my dismay, there were patches of raw, irritated skin on his front paws, where the fabric under the Velcro had rubbed on his dewclaws. On a later walk, I tried applying tape to this area (as another customer suggested), but it didn’t seem to help.Overall, I think these boots would be perfect for the dog owner who takes short walks with his or her dog on a leash, so they can keep an eye on the boots while walking. If they were built a little taller and the Velcro straps were not directly over the dewclaws, I bet they would be easier to secure.

My husband has a service dog, and as such he's out in the hot summer, on concrete and asphalt every single day. We don't want his feet to burn so he wears shoes. We had tried a few from local stores, but could not find any big enough or that stayed on.These have been great! We bought the largest size for Tango (he is almost 1yr and 76lbs). They stay on and provide excellent protection and grip.

I was so happy that i finally found something that fits my pomeranian
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.
