Protective foot wear for dogs. - Page 1

My Fiest had surgery on her right foot 2 weeks ago and may get her stitch,s out to day I,d like to atleast start tracking and obedience again this week if possible does anyone know of good foot wear I could get to help further protect her paw for a while longer.

  

I have used Activedogs.com , you can call them, they are great to work with.
I am sorry to hear she had to have surgery, did she cut herself?
Always,
Cee

Also, if you got to a hunting/bait type shop, they usually have vinyl shoes for hunting dogs (the ground is really spiky where crops have been cut down).

Poor girl, hope the foot heals quickly. 

She has decided that the 6 foot kennel fence is easier to climb then the 7 foot vertical wall she trains on. she caught her right large pad Friday nite in the twisted wire top and almost took the large center pad completly off. Now her kennel has a roof and all the twisted tops are ground off.

She is really in a foul mood being day caged for 2 weeks with a elizabethen collar on when I,m not home.

thanks for the well wish,s.

Ooooh  Ouch Ouch Ouchie!  Poor Fiest!  Go online Bob, I think you can find something like you need on Hallmark K9.  Hopefully things will be healed up soon.  Let us know how things work out.

Hello.They are called Mutluks, or mutluk shoes. Ray Allen and a number of other vendors sell them.

Hope that helps.

EEEEEEEYIKES and OUCH!  I have nothing to offer other than my sympathy.

           Thats funny thanks for the chuckle... Actually i just work there I,m not the boss just a glorified secratery and baby sitter of insurance adjusters my days of hands on fixing are done.

I've tried all types of dogie footwear for my poor old Aussie. She is, and always has been a "carpet dog" even though her heart's willing, she has never been able to do many of the outdoor things that the rest of her family does. Being starved to the brink of death as a weeks old puppy by a puppy mill.......that's another story......




My advice, if feel that the boot will be one for just a few hours a day, only during the few weeks of recovery and mainly on soft surfaces (grass, soft dirt, forest litter) then buy a set of the cheapest you can find. Since your dog will be wearing the boot on only 1 foot, if after a week it wears out you still have 3 left, and that's a month of recovery time.

If your dog's recovery is more long term then decide on a boot with the proper gripping surface for the activities you wish to participate. Cheap boots can be found at Petsmart or Petco.....REI has some that are more heavy duty - ruff wear - I think. Boots come for all sorts of applications, there are even boots for rock climbing dogs.........most likely don't need to go there....

Wish you God's speed in your best friend's recovery!
