How to use

Adjust the Velcro or buckle closure so it's snug but not too tight; you should be able to fit a finger between the boot and the paw. Use it for the time recommended by your veterinarian, usually during walks or rest periods if there are dressings. Do not leave it on for more than 8-12 hours at a time without supervision to avoid chafing or moisture buildup. Hand wash it after each use if it gets dirty. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific use.

FAQ

Can I use the boots if my dog ​​has an open wound?

Yes, provided the wound is covered with a sterile dressing and under veterinary supervision. Boots act as a secondary barrier to prevent the dog from licking or soiling the area, but they do not replace primary bandaging. Consult your veterinarian before using them on open wounds.

How do I know if size XXL is right for my dog?

Measure your dog's paw from the heel to the tip of the longest toe (length) and the maximum width at the pads. If the measurements are 230 mm or less in length and 100 mm in width, size XXL is suitable. If the paw is smaller, choose a smaller size to prevent the shoe from slipping off.

Can my dog ​​walk normally with his boots on?

Yes, most dogs adapt quickly, although they may initially show discomfort or try to remove them. A 10-15 minute break-in period at home is recommended before using them on walks. If the dog limps or shows signs of pain, remove them and check for any chafing or improper fit.

How long can I leave the protective boots on?

There is no absolute maximum time limit, but it is recommended to remove them every 6-8 hours to allow the paw to breathe and check the skin's condition. If used overnight, ensure the dog cannot chew on them and that the area is dry. For prolonged use, consult your veterinarian.

Can they be washed in the washing machine?

Not recommended. Hand wash them with cold water and mild soap, rinse well, and let them air dry away from direct heat. Washing them in a washing machine can damage the Velcro or deform the material, reducing their lifespan.

Do they protect your legs from the cold or snow?

They are not specifically designed for thermal insulation. They offer physical protection against rough surfaces or chemicals, but they do not insulate against intense cold. For cold climates, look for boots with a specific thermal lining.
