Cold feet?

Posted : 2/27/2008 9:07:13 PM

Zok has a weird tendency: after being in the snow for a few minutes, he starts limping. And not just regular limping... he's limping on just 2 feet! One front one back.

He has a tendency to collect snow balls on his feet so I checked them for ice, but there was none. Could he just have sensitive paws?

Doggy boots anyone? :)

Aww... I suppose it could be from cold feet. I think boots would be a good investment.

My basenjis will rotate which foot they hold up when it's really, really cold out.

Yeah, it's been minus 10 here (14f) lately. Is there a big difference between the $20 boots and the $60 ones?

Which boots are you looking at? Do you have brand names? I think Muttluks are pretty good. If your dog is grown and you're going to be living there for a while, I would probably invest in ones that are more sturdy and warm.
