Guest LJS1993 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Do any of you guys utilize dog boots on your BC? I live on a ranch with some very rugged terrain and am looking at getting my dog some boots. So before I do it I want to get some input about their functionality and the degree of acceptance your BC's have with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeb Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I use RuffWear boots on Mozart in the winter. They are very well made and stay on. He hated them the first time I put them on him but once he got used to them he was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg's mum Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I never got over Meg's "What you ditzy whacko humanoid ^#%@!?....you expect me to WEAR these?" look. Everyone on the pet store looked sorry for me and a little ashamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Oop Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I made the mistake of buying "fashion" boots for Allie. She absolutely detested them from the minute I put them on her feet -- however, it could have been the cute little rabbit fur lining the top of them that caused her violent reaction to them. There are some really great ones at Cabelas that I think I will buy for next winter, but I think it does take some getting used to on the part of the dog.

Catu Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I would say it depends in the use you want to give to them, I support the use on snow and iced surfaces, but if you want them just because of the rugged terrain, you are doing a little favor to your dog, don't allowing his paws to get strong enough for the environment he have to live in. They also make the dog to loose lot of his balance and grip on the surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flrpwr52 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 We use Muttluks all weather boots, yellow color. Never had a problem getting them used to them at all. I put them on and we did what they love best, work. They never thought twice about the boots. I don't have problems with them falling off and they saved a lot of cut pads this winter.
