If your pooch has never worn anything on his/her
feet, it may take some time getting adjusted to.
Place shoes on your pooch's feet. Just
note that your dog will walk in a funny way for the first few times that
he or she will have them on and occasionally, your dog may just stand
still and not move. The key is to ignore any stubborn behavior that
he or she might have. You must have patience and create a routine because
remember, having something on their feet is new to your dog.
Put them on for at least a one-hour period every
day for the first week. This way your dog will get used to wearing them.
If your dog will not move after having the boots on, entice them with
their favorite treat.
Be sure to properly supervise your dog. Do
not leave your dog unattended while wearing the boots.
Always ensure when placing the boots on your
dog, that the tongue of the shoe is not twisted. This allows for
maximum comfort. Also, the shoe has to be fully zipped for proper usage and
the Velcro securely fastened around the ankles.
Do not attempt to place wet paws in the boots.
If your dog has any injuries or medical problems
associated with the paws or ankles, please consult with your veterinarian
before placing boots on your dog's feet.
Allow for some "breathing" time. Do not
keep the boots on your dog’s feet for more than 5-6 hours.
