border_collie_crazy Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 ok Misty tends to burn her pads pretty easy, so I was looking into these bootys for Misty and Electra so they would not burn their feet on the asphalt when pulling in the summer(the boots are designs like runners, so they would provide grip and air flow) well it said to measure the dogs feet width wise with the dogs weight on the foot. ok so I measured Leck..she would need a medium with a width of just under 3". then I measured Misty, it no wonder I cant find anything that will stay on her feet, the extra small is 2 1/4" mistys foot spread measurment? 1".

Lunar Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I've never measured my dog's foot width before, lol. I just had to, I was curious. Zoe is 2", Zeeke is a little over 2.5". Leck is 3"??? Wow. And 1"... that's tiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border_collie_crazy Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 lol yup, there is not one iota of difference in width between her legs and her paws, thats how compact they are, its a pain in the butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anda Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Nothing intelligent to add, but I did measure my dog's paws, as well Poor thing, was confused +/- 2.5 inches here! Wow, almost as big as Zeeke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border_collie_crazy Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 lol here is a pic I took while back, its Mistys paw next to Happys paw, the arrows point to the the foot bends, so you can see how small Mistys foot in compared to Happys, Happys paw is the smae said as lecks, Leck is just heavier on her feet, whcih is why her foot spread is so wide, without the weight on them her feet are much smaller lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I think we're all going to have to take photos of our dogs paws.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieDog Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 LOL - Maggie has small, tight feet, and even hers are 2" wide! Here's my paw pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Dazzle's paws are about 1.25". So not big, but not tiny either. Peanut and Popcorn's are about 0.5" Jackson (the aussie PUPPY) has HUGE legs and paws. He won't hold still but somewhere around at least 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Great. Now I have this dorky urge to go home and measure my dogs' feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg's mum Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I did the same thing at the start of winter. Sat in the middle of the pet store with Meg, a peice of paper and a pencil stub. I kept taking the measurement because I was sure that it couldn't possibly be correct. 1 1/4" When we tried on XS, she immediatly started acting like she was in a bear trap and had to gnaw her leg off. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc friend Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Great. Now I have this dorky urge to go home and measure my dogs' feet! I know what you mean! I'll bet Rocky has the smallest feet and Katie the largest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluj Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I was browsing the Drs Fosters and Smith website, and saw that they have "muttluks" on clearance: boots and Hott Doggers. They go down to "itty-bitty" in size (= 1.5" long, width unspecified), so thought I would post in case you haven't found anything for Misty yet. BTW, I misremembered who needed them and couldn't figure out why I was having poor results searching for "Happy Feet". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisingRiver Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Since the subject was brought up again and I had planned to join in with River's measurement... River is 1.5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
