Dogs often use pet shoes and booties on walks outdoors, but some styles may be used by cats, poultry, and other animals to protect their feet. Like your feet, paws and claws are susceptible to damage and injury, and pet shoes and booties offer a layer of protection from hazards out in the wild. Pet shoes for dogs fully encompass a pet’s foot, making them great for harsh terrain or extreme temperatures. They can be insulated with warm materials like fleece to protect against frostbite or be breathable materials with a base to keep paws safe from burns and hot pavement. Some pet shoes may be waterproof with a non-slip surface to keep your pet safe from wet surfaces or slippery floors.
