Opting for dog shoes

Opting for dog shoes

Most dog paws can stand a little cold. Still, when ground frost or freezing temperatures hit, your canine pal could use some help in the form of dog shoes – not only to keep paws warm, but also to prevent slipping. Even in summer, dog shoes can prevent paw pads from burning. Discover the multifunctional 4Season dog shoe by EQDOG.

Protection for vulnerable doggies

You may already use a dog coat to protect your dog from the weather. But dog shoes can also help your dog when weather conditions are bad, especially more fragile dogs like puppies and dogs in their senior years. In winter, dog shoes help prevent ice clogging between toes and they provide grip on slippery surfaces. In summer, dog shoes protect sensitive paw pads from being burned by super-hot surfaces such as asphalt or sand. Older dogs with joint problems or conditions like hip dysplasia benefit from extra grip under their paws all year round.

What should you pay attention to?

When you choose dog shoes, you want to be sure that the shoes provide the necessary grip and protection. So, there should be a proper non-slip coating, but the dog shoes should also have a good fit and shouldn’t come off quickly. Some dogs need to get used to walking on dog shoes. They may then bite and pull at the dog shoe. A good, sturdy dog shoe can withstand this kind of behaviour and is made of safe materials. Also note that most dogs have larger front legs than back legs. That’s why you also need to buy two different sizes of dog shoes.

Grip on the paws

EQDOG’s 4 Season dog shoes are made of strong and durable thermoform with a soft, reliable non-slip sole and hexagonal tread pattern. This allows your dog to keep a good grip even on slippery, rocky trails and icy roads. The durable superfiber finish on the front of the shoe protects against sharp and cutting objects. This rubber is also cleverly applied, to just past the middle of the shoe. There, the superfiber layer extends into nylon, making the shoe even more flexible, thus matching the natural posture of the legs. In addition, powerful Velcro closure provides extra security.

Complete with dog socks

From XXS to XL, EQDOG’s 4 Season dog shoes are sold in 6 different sizes and in sets of two, so you will always have the best fitting shoe for your dog’s paws. The wide opening allows you to put on or take off the dog shoe easily and quickly. In turn, the extra wide space for the toes offers walking comfort and the reflective stripes offer better visibility. In addition, the dog shoes come with microfiber socks that provide an extra barrier against dirt and moisture. The dog socks also protect against possible friction while walking. A walk through the rain is no problem, as the waterproof coating keeps most of the moisture away from the paws.
