Shoes for furbutts! Do they really work? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi everyone,

I have a question, I am really considering buying Chloe some shoes. I'm thinking about boots not because they are cute, but it has turned out kinda cold and she is already freezing and when she stands in the grass she doesn't want to potty now. She hates when her feet are cold or wet. Is it worth the money to invest in a pair of shoes?

Personally for me they were not worth it, however, Chloe was 3 when we put them on and just really wasn't used to having something on her feet so she was highly unimpressed with them. In winter she just goes outside long enough to potty then hurries back in again. If we're walking to the vehicles we just take her up.

I could never get Britney used to them. They weren't worth the time that it took to get them on and they looked pretty silly.

I know Mike's (alaskayorkie) yorkies wear them... mind you he is in Alaska. We have cold weather here and Layla isn't bothered.... she walks on the snow no problem. I think if you can get your dog used to it early it's fine... otherwise they tend to not like them.

Funny you should bring this up now...I was just thinking about them for Abby and Daisy for the winter. I've got a feeling that neither of them would go for it though.

I'm scared that she will start using the potty in the house so she won't get her paws cold/wet. She will not use a potty pad. I've already tried that. I ordered her some house shoes but I havent' gotten them yet.
