About Dog Shoes and Socks

Beautiful and comfortable shoes can make your pet feel really happy. Not because it is fashionist. The point is that it is not very pleasant (and even dangerous) to walk without shoes on the street.

There are pieces of glass everywhere. Any time your pet's paws can be injured. Saline powdered on snow irritates sensitive skin of the pads. In big cities where chemicals are used not any shoes are able to withstand such an attack, let alone the thin skin on a little delicate dog. Let add to the list pieces of ice and frost. Well, paws are not the most pampered part of the body, but cold temperatures are not good for them. In summer there is no need to warm the paws, but they are to be protected against litter and mud. These and other problems can be solved with the help of quality and well-selected dog shoes.

Boots, sport shoes, sneakers and sandals – the assortment is so versatile that it is easy to lost in it. In addition to such decorative elements as bows, bijous and sparkles you should bear in mind the shoes quality.

All the models must be manufactured from hypoallergic fabrics which are safe for a dog and its owner. Genuine leather is ideal but artificial leather is also appropriate. It is water-proof, lets the skin breath and keeps it warm. You can buy boots or high boots of suede. They are very soft and do not hinder movements. The sole should be riffled to ensure that the little paws do not slide on ice.

Well-know and highly regarded brands (such as DogModa) take into account all the anatomic properties of animal paws, for example paw slope.

The shoes are either zipped or fixed with Velcro straps, encircling the paw. Velcro fastenings are the best. They are fixed easily and quickly while a zip can pinch dog’s skin if the boots are put on in hurry.

Your dog will not appreciate your care at once. It will be hostile to the new piece of clothing. You should habituate it to the shoes step by step. First, you put them just for a few minutes and then gradually increase this period of time. Soon your pet will get accustomed to the shoes and you can go for a walk well-equipped.
