Hi
My Yorkie is 6 lbs, long and thin. Her legs are thin her feet are small. I have purchased about 8 sets of winter boots for her in the past 2 years since we have had her. She is 8 yrs and rescued from a puppymill after 6 years of abuse. She has arthritis and cannot walk without limping in the winter. I have tried the disposable boots and they fall off as she walks. I have also bought the foot salve and she eats it off her feet. So far nothing works, We live in NYC in an apartment building and she has to go out at least 3 times per day during the colder months. She is paper trained for the snow days. I am not looking forward to winter. HELP!!!
