Review on Small Dog Anti-Slip Boots & Paw Protector With Reflective Straps Winter Snow Booties, 4PCS (2, Blue) by Robert Carlson

Okay wow, where to begin. We have a 13lb Bichon who walks daily, and I wanted some extra protection for her paws because she walks so much. These arrived yesterday and I used them this morning just ONE time. This will be the last time these torture contraptions ever touch my dog. When I put them on her feet at home, they seemed to fit great and she was comfortable walking around in them in the house for a few minutes. She didn’t walk funny or anything. Then I took her out for our usual 1.5 mile morning walk. Within the first 100 yards the back shoes flung off from the traction on the asphalt. So I stopped and put them back on and pulled them tighter. We made it across the street and they came off again. Again I put them back on and pulled them tighter. This happened about 6 times in total for the first half mile of our walk. After the last time I put them back on her, she started walking slower, and the shoes stayed on. I thought it was just my dog walking at a slower pace because she had weird shoes on, but when I got home, I realized it was something else entirely. When I removed the shoes I noticed they were very worn and already were fraying with holes opening up in the bottoms, but what was really disturbing was what my dog’s feet looked like. I could see the line on each leg where the drawstring was pulled like a line of demarcation. Her feet were red and purple below the line and her pads were swollen. The shoes had completely cut off her circulation for nearly a mile of walking. I could not believe it. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT PUT THESE ON YOUR DOG. These are horrible and they shouldn’t be allowed to even sell them to people.
