Just curious about this... I live in Cali, and it gets pretty darn cold out here in the winter. It doesn't snow but it's super cold out here. So when I take Coco for walks in the winter time, should I buy her boots or socks or something? Will her poor little feet get cold if she's just bare in the feet? I've bought her coats and jackets and sweaters, so she's good there, but I don't know if I should invest in socks or shoes for her. P.S. Villette this is only my 2nd for the day...I got 13 more threads to go..hahahahaha |
i would suggest the booties .. im thinking of getting some for Chicle since our winters are BAD!! hey question... how is the weather in LA in november?? i htink im going to be there at that time ... w/o Chicle :( i just want a heads up.. thanks :) |
i live in cali too...... and to tell you the truth it never crossed my mind...... partly because it is UNSAFE to take them out after dark (this is when it gets REALLY cold) or in teh full on heat, when i say it is unsafe afterdark i am talking about the wierdos that like to hang out in our walking area (and it is remote, so its not so much for toby's safety as it is for my own)....... so, i usually just take toby in the morning or late afternoon/early evening and the ground seems ok for him to walk on.... |
Check out the boots on Pet Edge. They have cute blue boots for boys and adorable little pink boots for girls. I am going to buy 2 pink pairs of boots for Katie and 2 pairs of blue boots for Codie. |
I just posted on the other thread about boots. I live in Maine and the winters can be brutal but my kids just won't keep them on. I wish they would though because they just don't get the exercise they need in the winter here. Maybe its just the type I used. I don't know. :( |
I know Coco will keep them on because she's a diva and she'll wear ANYTHING. I don't think that it's just night time that's cold. It's always cold, no matter what time of day. I wasn't planning on night time walks but I was just curious in general, for day time walks. LA is ok in November, but I think September and October are great there. |
Haha! I just thought it was funny how you said that it was really cold in Cali. I live in Windsor, ON - Canada. And although I've never experience Cali, at all, it just sounds funny to hear you say that because I associate Cali as being warm all year long! I never knew that the temp dropped there. |
No many people think that but it gets bone chilling cold here. LA and southern Cali is a warm spot during winter but I live in the bay area it's FREEZING here in winter. Heck it's cold here already. Infact Coco wears sweaters to the dog park. |
You need to come visit here this winter to see what cold is- when the wind chill is like 20 below zero! I am so glad Macy is using the pads as well as going outside because I think her little feet would freeze to the ground if I put her out to do her business or worse! |
do the boots make them walk funny? |

Where I live, in the 30's. I know it's not a big deal for those of you living on the east coast but that's really cold for us here. In fact anything below 50 is freezing for us because we're used to warmth. |
Here it gets way below 0 in the winter time. Sorry but I laughed when you said it gets cold there. That is not cold my dear. 15 below is cold. Still wanna come to Wisconsin now that ya know that?? lol |
Nobella, YOU LIVE IN THE BAY AREA LIKE ME!!!! Cold...what? It never gets below 55 here! :) You are nuts. Anyway...I think Coco would be fine if you take her out on a cold day without little shoes. Just put on that cute sweater on her to keep her warm. I got Stomper in February. As you may recall, we had tons of rain. I walked him everyday (even if it rained). I would just wait until it stopped and would walk him on the cement only. His feet would not even be wet since he does not have long fur on his paws. Just put the sweater on her! That cream one is way too cute! |
There's been plenty of 30-40 temps out here. It especially gets cold in Turlock and Pleasanton areas. I guess I pay too much attention to the weather. but I was just worried about Coco. |

You can try booties. It takes a little while for the dogs to get used to them. Heres chloe wearing hers: |
Chloe looks so daarn cute!!!!!!!!!! |
Don't they try to take them off? THe picture of Chloe is TOO cute! |
Just thought I'd add this funny note in... If you put anything on Rika's feet, she'll just stand there and look at you for the longest time with an evil look on her face and then if you do get her to walk anywhere, she'll take flying leaps instead of steps because she doesn't want her feet to touch the floor. lol It's hilarious, I wish I had a video camera to show you guys. |

That I would love to see! :D I will get some for Kacee and see if she will walk in them. Knowing her, she'll probably pull them off! :rolleyes: |

Last year we were still working on the potty thing so Gus really didn't go out much because he was being trained to go on pee pads. Now that he has it down pat going outside, I am thinking about getting some doggy shoes, the olny problem is, I really don't think he will like them at all. |
I live over here in the IE (Inland Empire) part of Cali (So Cal) and yeah, it's cold, but I am not going to tell anyone on the East or North East coast about it!! I'd look like a whimp! I know that No. Cal can get colder than us down here. But after spending last January in New York when they had that cold spell, and their temps w/ wind chill was like 3 degrees, I learned to appreciate and be thankful for the 'cold' here in So. Cal.! ;) As for their feet, unless there is snow and/or rain, I don't think that you would have to worry too much about their feet. Their body temp alone is about 101. The cold ground would probably feel good. And, being that our precious children ARE DOGS, its good for their pads to be a little broken in. It helps protect them from being hurt. If their pads are too soft, they would be hurting all the time with everything that they step on. |
