Best Dog Booties for Everyday Running and Playing?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a fun and safe Fourth of July! We were at a friend's house here in Tucson. They have fake (plastic) grass and Bailey and Ginger ended up with torn pads. They weren't even running around all that much but I guess the stuff is pretty abrasive. It doesn't feel too bad, but I guess I was wrong. Ginger's pads aren't as bad as Bailey's pads are. I had to carry him outside this morning! He doesn't even want to walk, poor guy. Sometimes this happens 20 minutes after running around the parks and washes here. I hate it! We need to move back to a place with real grass!

 

Anyway, I'd like to purchase some dog booties for everyday running around. I need a pair that will stay on while they are playing fetch and racing around. I read through the old threads, but they had mostly to do with snow booties.

 

Can you recommend a sturdy pair that will stay on and not tear or fall off? Price really doesn't matter as long as they are worth it. They will be wearing them in the desert - lots of dirt and rocks.

 

Thanks!

I've heard good things about the booties Ruffwear sells - they have rubber soles much like our tennis shoes do.

 

I dunno if it'll work for heavy use, but I do know someone who swears by baby socks painted on the soles with many layers of rubber cement. She then threads a tie through the top of the sock and voila: booties with a tough, slip resistant tread that can be washed in the washing machine (in a lingerie bag).
