We will be taking Simba to Germany and it's going to be really cold and snowy. I have a ski coat, warm wool sweaters and well as fleece pj's already for him but I was wondering how neccessary shoes are. I know that Yorkies don't have fur and therefore need something to protect them but are paws just paws as well? Are small breed paws more sensitive than big breed paws? I also don't want to be too overly protective but of course I want what's best. Any advice/opinions would be great.
