| Recommendation for Boots (for Simon) After Simon's latest paw incident I really need to get him some boots. He has the fleece ones that fall off all the time (after I fight with him for 20min to get them on, haha). I need something that is quick to get on and will STAY on. Maybe with super super velcro (or duct tape knowing Mr. Man). Can anyone recommend a good pair? They would only be used in the winter time. Thanks in advance |

| I've always heard the ones from Outward Hound is really great but you should really ask the YT expert - Eddie & Jack! Bet they can tell you what they like best!

| I can sympathize with you, I started looking into shoes because when I took my two on their daily walks they would run so fast sometimes on the pavement that they would scrape their paws I've tried all kinds of different shoes on Jaden as he is VERY picky about what we he will wear and I've found these two different kinds to be the best. (These are on sale currently! ) http://www.barkingbeauties.com/produ...roducts_id=325 http://www.beyondspoiled.com/index.a...PROD&ProdID=62 Both of these stay on, and at first he tried and tried to get these off and neither of these pairs would come off! Jaden's actually gotten to the point where he doesn't mind wearing shoes now and can actually walk like a normal dog in them. Hope Simon is feeling better and I hope you are able to find a pair of shoes that will work for him! |

| I have a pair of baby blue metallic ones that I got from Target for 12.99 and Emma has never ever worn them. They have the velcro around the top.. I'll have to post a pic. But if they're his size.. they're an XS I'd sell them to you for $7 plus $2 shipping |

| I bought several pair for Toto and had an awful time getting her to walk! I finally ordered Muttluks and they are great!! You measure their little paw for a good fit and they are designed more like the paw and not at an unnatural angle. They also stay on good. Good luck!!

| Kimberly, I recommend the 'pixie boots' from beyondspoiled.com. They are super soft and really stay on. They feel like ballerina shoes. Bobbi LOVES them and look great on him. I have bought other 'realistic boot-looking shoes' and they are just so uncomfortable. My boy refused to walk in them and althought they were adorable and stylish.........they were useless in my household.

| I have the ones from beyondspoiled too and they are really great. We went for a walk yesterday with them on and Summer did so much better. Monday I forgot to put them on her and her little feet are so sensitive we walked on the rocks she was slow. We also have sweet gum balls in the yard and they are hard for her to walk on and with the boots she does so good. She doesn't mind wearing them at all. They match her harness and leash from chattiesmom too!! They fit soo good.

| I bought Jaxon's boots on Ebay - here is a link to the seller's store. http://stores.ebay.ca/Pooch-n-Boots They have all different sizes and colors, plus they shipped really fast. They seem very good quality. Hopefully I can convince Jaxon to actually wear his!

| I've got some fake muttlucks from PetEdge that Loki chewed up to get them off he hated them so much. Kathryn promised me the ones from beyondspoiled.com would be great and she was right. They are awesome. We have gone on 3 walks and he didn't even care that they were on!
