I always wondered about the actual shoes for dogs. I think dogs' feet come in way to many sizes/shapes to come in just small/medium/large etc. I couldn't see $8-$20 Petsmart shoes being made be functional enough to fit dogs w/o hurting their feet/ankles etc. Peeka boo has these thick fleece cup shaped shoes that are more like thick socks w/a leather circle on the bottom to make it slip proof and a velcro leg strap. I thought they were cute lol.
