Review on YAODHAOD Anti-Slip Dog Shoes with Reflective Straps - Paw Protector Booties for Small and Medium Pets by Heather Gonzales

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent quality. Works perfectly. Spoiler alert: cholla cactus thorns won't hold up.

My rescue little dog is a delicate Italian greyhound, a favorite lap dog of European nobles for centuries. They carried small dogs around with them until they lost the ability to regulate their own temperature and their paw pads became thin. Now I only take her for short walks on the sidewalk, but I used to take her to the desert and she hated it. Fergie would trip, hobble, stop to bite stickers off her toes, pull back on the leash, sulk, and constantly ruin my bird photography by tugging on the leash at the wrong time. Her attitude improved when I put on the dog shoes. I've tried other dog shoes but she didn't like them and kept falling off when she was prancing around. These booties stayed on, were easy to adjust, and she happily rode next to me for the entire hour and a half of the hike. I learned the hard way that the thorns of the cholla cactus can pierce the fabric of shoes, but this has only happened once so far. . She is a "house dog" and I have to put up with that. Still, it's good to have booties when we're both ambitious.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
