Weather Protection
Winter time in a snowy, rainy, and cold climate can be tough on a dog’s paws. If your four-legged friend loves to play outside and craves his walks, a lot of time spent romping through ice and snow can cause a multitude of problems. These include causing the webbing in between their toes to split, and the build-up of little snow balls in the fur. A nice pair of snow boots with rubber soles not only provides them traction when they walk, but can protect their paws from a variety of injuries. Additionally, hazardous chemicals and salt that is thrown over the snow to melt it can get absorbed right through your dog’s paws, potentially creating major problems.
I'm ordering boots from alldogboots because Piper and I are moving to Wisconsin and I know she'll need them absolutely... |
