Doggie Boots?

I don't have anything to trade but wanted to let you know about the dog boots we just bought.  They are a flexible waterproof rubber, as well as, disposable and reusable.  We were pleasantly surprised at how well they worked (especially in the ice and snow).  They come in different sizes and fit sort of like how socks fit us...snug-like.  They stay on until you take them off.  12 boots in a package for $16 (size large, so size small is less by $1 probably).

The only drawback we've found is that a sharp paw nail will poke a hole in the boot, especially if the boot is too small (when they walk the foot spreads out, forcing the nails to poke through a too small boot).  The rubber is pretty thick though.

The brand is Pawz.  Made in the USA.  There is a web site address on the package: pawzdogboots dot com.

 I had a friend that used tool handle dip to make custom doggie boots for her large malamute.  She used  a thick sock material to make a fitting mold stuffed it with paper to simulate the curve of her dogs foot and dipped it a couple of times in the rubber tool handle dip you can get in hardware stores. She glued velcro on the cuff to be able to secure it to the dogs foot.  I've never tried this but she swore by them as she could custom fit them to her dog.

Crymsyn, that sounds like a great idea! I'm going to try that!
