Four seasons, one optimal protection for dog paws
As a dog lover, you naturally want to ensure dogs’ well-being all year round, regardless of the season. That’s where EQDOG‘s 4 Season Shoes step in; these dog shoes are ideal in all weather conditions. Let’s walk through all the seasons:
Spring: ergonomic design and durable materials
It can freeze and it can thaw, but one thing is certain in spring: the salt brine has not yet disappeared from many a road surface. Especially now, EQDOG’s dog shoes are important to wear to protect against that corrosive salt. Also, after the dark months, it is precisely in this season that you want to take long walks, when temperatures are still comfortable. Then it’s important that your dog can count on the ergonomic design of the 4 Season Shoes. These dog shoes ensure a good fit and support, while the durable material resists wear and tear, even with regular use.

Summer: breathable comfort for warm adventures
Summer often brings warmer temperatures, and that means your dog’s paws need protection. Because paving stones, but especially asphalt, can get pretty hot, which can even burn their feet. The 4 Season Shoes offer protection against exactly that. At the same time, they are designed with breathable material, preventing your dog from overheating. Whether it is a walk through the woods, a day at the beach or just playing in the park, these dog shoes provide the necessary comfort and protection.

Autumn: grip on slippery paths
With autumn comes rain, and thus muddy paws and slippery paths. The 4 Season Shoes keep dog paws from getting muddy and are equipped with a non-slip sole, allowing your dog to keep a firm grip even on very slippery walkways. Especially for dogs with sensitive hips, this can prevent nasty falls and pains. With the 4 Season Shoes, you can let your dog enjoy wonderful autumn walks without a care in the world.
Winter: protection against salt and freezing cold
In winter, it is not just brine salt on pavements and roads that poses a potential danger to dogs’ sensitive pads. Ice, snow and freezing temperatures create icy lumps between toes and dangerously slippery roads. The 4 Season Shoes provide a protective barrier against this and offers grip on slippery surfaces. The insulating properties of the dog shoes keep your dog’s feet warm and dry.
Absolute must-have
EQDOG’s 4 Season Shoes give your furry friend the protection they deserve all year round! Order them quickly via EQDOG’s B2B webshop or mail your order by via orders@noho.nl.
Celebrating the New Year with a bang? 6 tips for our furry friends!
You may already be looking forward to gourmet meals at Christmas and champagne at New Year’s Eve. Many four-legged friends also look forward to the extra sweets during these days, but are horrified inside and outside by the noise of fireworks in the streets. So make sure that not only you, but also your faithful four-legged friend gets through New Year’s Eve comfortably and without too much stress. We offer six tips:
1. Shut out fireworks
Fireworks belong outside! So make sure you close windows and close curtains tightly to reduce the impact of the bangs and lights.
2. Create a ‘Safe Haven’
Create a special place where your dog feels safe. This can be an enclosed space with his favorite blanket. For example, EQDOG offers a comfy Sleeper (see brochure). Also, the enveloping feel of a doggy sweater like JumppaPomppa can be soothing and comforting for some dogs. Leave the ‘Safe Haven’ door ajar so your dog can come and go as he pleases.
3. Put on music
Use ambient sounds to mask the fireworks noise. For example, put on quiet music. A recent study concluded that reggae, soft rock and classical music calm dogs the most. A white noise machine can also help distract from bangs. This is also sometimes used to help babies fall asleep, and adults with sleep problems often take advantage of it as well.
4. Stay with your dog
Going to visit family or friends? Don’t leave your dog alone at home. Rather, invite guests to your home. Is that not an option? And is the dog not allowed in the room with you? Then ask if there is an indoor area where the dog can stay, so you are nearby and he can hear you. Visit your dog friend regularly, talk to him and a soothing pets. Your presence and hearing your voice can already be reassuring.
5. Distraction toys
Keep your dog distracted with interactive toys. chew toys or food puzzles can help distract your dog’s attention from popping fireworks. Focusing on something positive can reduce their anxiety and can even cause your furry friend to develop a positive association with New Year’s Eve.
6. Hit the streets safely
Of course, you can’t keep your dog inside around New Year’s Eve. Make sure you walk the dog well before the fireworks – but no later than 10 pm – and make sure you are highly visible with Orbiloc’s dog lights. This can prevent accidents. Do you have a dog that tries anxiously to run away or will try to get off its leash? With DOG Copenhagen‘s harnesses, you’ll prevent runaways and lost dogs.
Monitor and enjoy
With these tips, hopefully you will help your furry friend survive New Year’s Eve calmly and comfortably! Especially with anxious dogs, monitor their eating and drinking behavior. In fact, anxious dogs can lose their appetite. In that case, make sure there is plenty of water and offer easily digestible food. Have fun and hopefully a stress-free New Year’s Eve!
