We just got Angel some boots http://www.bobocanada.com/main/var/f.../pg0413_lg.jpg and we can't seem to figure out how to put them on and keep them on.

How can you tell if the paw/foot is fully in the boot? And how do you make sure they stay on? Her size is the smallest, 0, and we're not sure if her paw is too small for them.

Do you think that we'd have better luck with Muttluks http://www.felixandfido.com/catalog/images/muttluks.gif

Chloe wears shoes alot and they stay on her really well with the top ankle strap. As long as your dog's foot is not cramped (like sides touching) and keep in mind thier nails, then I think the shoes fits fine.

I think it's the fact that her legs/ankles are to small/thin for the top part of the boot to fit tight. I try and wrap the velcro strap at the top as tight as possible but eventually Angel will fling them off

I was thinking of wrapping her legs where the top of the boot sits with a little bit of gauze to make it a little thicker for the boot to stay on when fastened. What do you think?

I sell socks, that might help: http://tinkerbellscloset.com/Browse_...n_Pink_or_Blue. Most of the shoes that chloe wears are sock-like at the top which is why the ankle strap works, like these: http://tinkerbellscloset.com/Browse_.../Pink_Sneakers
So those are easy to tighten.
