Cold Feet

[anniegirl]

Hi everyone! Just wanting to know if anyone has a recommendation for some paw protection for the cold icy roads for walky time! Last year we had 40 below but even at 0 degrees it's too cold for their paws. My attempt at a homemade bootie was a dismal failure! Please help

I wish I had an answer to be helpful but also somewhat relieved that I have *no idea at all* — and hope to remain meteorologically (?) ignorant on the subject!

I do look forward to some recommendations though in case we are plunged into actual weather.

I will Google it! as I do much too much! and let you know

My favorite boots are made out of felt with no hard pads on the bottom(my dogs don’t like that). They are easy enough to make with Velcro to close them. And yes they have a tendency to fall off but if you also use painters masking tape at the top,of the boots it works pretty good. The picture shows the boots without the tape on them.Alberta winters can be really cold !

Those are great looking boots. Now that you've mentioned it, felt is used for Autosocks (a tire chain alternative)  which I've found to be fantastic on the (rare) snow day around here.

Lynn - where do you get those boots? Our boys manage to pull off everything we have tried.
