Read More We got these for our growing goldendoodle. She loves the snow but when we let her play it gets totally frozen around her paws and it hurts her to sit there and wait for them to melt. These boots go up pretty high on her leg, keeping the snow off most of her fur. They take some getting used to, both for us and her. You really have to measure right and cinch the boot on tight. Let your dog try them out in the house for a while first - she'll flail for a bit, which makes it tough for the boots to stay on, but then she'll get the hang of it and walk normally, and they'll work great. I just wish they weren't so expensive! -

Read More It's hard to imagine that Ruff Wear spent any time at all, let alone any meaningful time, testing these boots. The first time I put these boots on my dogs, it was very easy to identify at least 5 or 6 very signifacant design flaws. If I can do this in minutes, not sure how Ruff Wear can't do it in years... Just a few: - the rigid cuff irritates dogs' skin - cuff/ leg hole is way to big for paw size. Too much bunched up material prevents proper cinching of the cord. Within the first 45 minutes of our snowshoe trip on a groomed trail, we spent (literally) 30 minutes putting the boots back on our dogs after they repeatedly fell off. After about the 7th time a boot fell of, we just took them off an hiked without them. This was not user error, we could not have cinched the boots any tighter. These boots are simply very poorly designed, useless junk. -

Read More These work really well you just have to make sure you tighten them well or they will fall off. It takes a little getting used to for the dog. They work great for long nordic skiies though. Some snow can get packed in through the top when they are running through deep snow, but this hasn't caused any problems. -

Read More These boots are poorly designed. The straps are hard to tighten unless they are wet. When they are wet they come loose too easily. They quickly fall off. If not completely, they fall half way off and then ware right through because the dog is walking on the part of the shoe that does not have tread. Very disappointed Especially for the price. Also, much of the time a dog's back paws are smaller than the front paws, but the shoes are sold in 4 packs, or singles directly from ruffwear. I have 2 dogs which solves this problem. But a single dog owner is looking at needing to buy 2 pair right off the bat. -

Read More Most people complain of boots falling off. The reason is they do not follow the instructions to check strap tightness after 15min of use and re-adjust. Most people do not put boots on tight enough to ensure they do not come off. Best boot on the market! -

Read More Bruno looked pretty funny trying these for the first time. I had high hopes that they would improve his snow and mountain biking ability, but the don't stay on. Here is funny video of his first use:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwcYuSQcFFE&context=C325b7a6ADOEgsToPDskLwnGEZw3UjgoYwscPFWjuSThat car is not ours by the way. He is just really embarrassed and wants out of there. As soon as the video was done he shook them off, and never wore them again.

Read More These a pretty pricey and difficult to purchase the correct size without your dog being present...I bought two sizes to try and get the right size. you will know very quickly if they are the wrong size as they will fly off your dogs feet in seconds! The only time I intend to use these is when my buddy tells me it's too cold for him! We live at 8400' and have seen -25 this season.
