Does your dog need dog shoes?

Dog boots are often dismissed as something completely unnecessary for a dog to wear. This idea couldn't actually be further from the truth. Dog shoes have a number of benefits for a lot of dogs. Let's take a little look at these benefits, and find out a bit more about whether your dog actually needs shoes or not.

Firstly, you are going to need to consider the location in which you live. If you live in area surrounded by grassland and the like, and this is where you walk your dog normally then you are incredibly lucky, as is your dog. However, if your dog is having to constantly run over pavements or really hard ground then the pads on their feet can become worn down and very sensitive, especially over long distances. In these situations you should invest in dog boots for dogs, they will absolutely love you for it!

In addition to that, if the temperature is hot outside, then your dog's feet can become burned rather easily. Again, this is where a pair of protective dog shoes for your dog will come in useful. This is especially important if walking over a hot pavement, but if your dog is jumping about hot rocks too then they will also come in useful. Since summer is on the way, get summer pet clothing to prevent any injure on your dog's paw.

It isn't just hot weather when protective dog shoes can come in useful. The cold weather is also particularly harsh on the paws of dogs. Remember, the paws do not have any fur on the paw pads, which means the flesh can suffer from frostbite, which can be incredibly painful. I really do not suggest you go outside with your dog in the cold weather without using doggy boots, mainly because they will end up being in pain. Remember, dogs have a reluctance to show pain too, so your dog could actually be suffering from pain and you wouldn't know

Many people like to take their dogs cycling with them, this is fantastic. However, bear in mind that running those sorts of distances and at that speed can be particularly harsh on the feet of your dog. Using protective dog boots will ensure that the paw pads stay in tip top condition.

Finally, there are many dogs out there which have naturally tender feet. Your vet should be able to tell you whether this is the case or not. If they do, then it may be useful for your dog to wear protective dog shoes as often as possible, it will ensure that they are not in pain. Remember, as your dog gets older, the more sensitive they will become too, so this is something that you are going to need to be on the look out for!

Of course, instead of pet care, many people also use the shoes as an aspect of dog fashion, and there are plenty of options out there to choose from! Remember, your dog doesn't care what he/she is wearing as long as they are comfortable, so make sure you choose something which suits the personality of your dog!
