I like how the soles are rounded and not flat like a lot of dog shoes are. It's a more natural walking motion for them. I trained Uni to like them by putting them on then getting out a high value treat. So she would follow me around trying to get some. She does well in them. Every winter I get them out and will have to retrain her again, but usu only takes a few mins. |
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with these shoes with me. As far as the shoes being microsuede and not suede that is actually a good thing. Microsuede is quite a durable fabric and doesn't stain nearly the way real suede does.
I'm glad to hear that Uni does well with these shoes. I'm hopeful Lu will aslo do well with them. Have you found the size 1s to still be quite roomy for Uni or are they a snug fit? I think I agree that Lu would likely wear a 0 I've just worried a bit that maybe the sizing chart is accurate and so she is actually a size 1. I know it would be strange as she is quite a bit smaller than most dogs who wear size 1 but it could happen I suppose. Thanks again for all your help.
