RUFFWEAR All-Terrain Hondenlaarzen (Set van 2), Medium tot Grote Rassen, Maat: 70 mm/2,75 in, Obsidian Black, Grip Trex

So, after having these for a few months, I feel I can give a reasonable review. I would also be willing to answer any questions!I'm a college professor and my dog, Gary, is a working dog, so I really wanted to be able to protect his feet on campus during the summer because Texas is dangerous for dogs. I also was planning on a hiking trip in Indiana and thought that these shoes could be helpful for that.First, Gary is a 16 lb corgi/terrier mix with the tiniest feet you've ever seen. (Seriously--when I'm hormonal I actually start crying because his feet are so tiny. That's not a weird dog mom thing, right?) I bought the wrong size at first (I think I measured his feet wrong), but returned those and bought the smallest they have. Even so, they're still a little roomy for his tiny, tiny paws. So, although the shoes do come off sometimes while we're walking, I think that has more to do with my dog than the shoes.Gary DID NOT like these shoes at first. Like, at all. But the great thing is that if you visit the company website, they even have instructions for how to get your pup used to wearing shoes. And when they say not to laugh, they mean it. It took a while to convince Gary to even try after the first time I put them on him because I laughed so hard. It was too cute and I couldn't resist, but try to resist. I started him out with just getting used to putting them on and keeping them on for a couple minutes. He got lots of treats for walking like three feet in them. Then we started going down the stairs, then down and back up, then down the stairs and jumping into the car, etc. Finally, we started going to campus and walking to my office in them. He can now do that pretty well.I will admit that Gary will often stop walking and lay down and try to take his shoes off. This is happening less and less and he's getting much more used to wearing them. I finally decided to invest in a pair of the liners that Ruffwear makes and that has MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE! I know it seems ridiculous to basically buy $14 socks for your dog after buying $70 shoes, but believe me, it's necessary. The first time I put the shoes on Gary with the liners, he was so excited he did a little prancing thing. It was seriously adorable and also made me feel less guilty about putting something on his feet that he hated wearing. I think you have to consider that just like we don't want to wear tennis shoes or boots without socks, so your dog won't either.I haven't had any problems with these falling apart or anything like that. They seem very well made (and should be for the price) and the soles give good traction. I feel like Gary's paws do get a little sweaty with the combination of the shoes and socks, but the mesh on top makes the situation more breathable. I'm super careful to not leave him in his shoes outside for too long when the temp is above 90 because it's just too hot (but it would be even worse without the shoes!), we just walk to my office and take them off, then put them back on again if we leave the office. I'm so glad I found a good way to protect Gary's feet and allow us to go to work everyday even during the summer.(By the way, the pic is from when we first got the shoes--he's definitely not that miserable anymore when wearing them. I need a new photo for this review, but the shoes sure are cute, right?)

tiennent très bien, la meilleure qualité après plusieurs marques mais du coup trop rigides elles blessent les pattes au niveau du velcro. de + taillent grands taille 44 mm vont a un chien de taille moyenne. trop grandes pour un fox terrier pourtant grand pour sa race!!!! "Chiens de très petite taille" passez votre chemin

Aunque son bastante caras he de decir que merecen mucho la pena. A mi perro se le caían todo el rato y acababan rompiéndose. Estás aunque se ha terminado rajando la suela (las usamos todos los días mínimo dos veces por camino de tierra) todavía se pueden usar. Sin duda merecen la pena y las volvería a comprar.

Unsere ersten Grip Trex haben wir von 10 Jahren gekauft. Mit unseren beiden Labradors ging es zu einer 1-Wöchigen Wanderung in den Dolomiten. Die Erfahrungen waren so gut, dass wir danach nicht mehr darauf verzichtet haben. So legten die seinerzeit gekauften beiden 4er-Packs einige tausend Kilometer in den Alpen zurück, bevor wir sie gegen je einen neuen Satz tauschen mussten. Das Paar hier wurde erst dieses Jahr notwendig, weil die Pfoten einer der beiden Hunde im hohen Alter schon so durchgetreten sind, dass wir eine Nummer grösser brauchten. Ich kann die Schuhe nur wärmstens empfehlen. Und vor allem dann anziehen, wenn es notwendig ist - und nicht wenn es zu spät ist. Wenn die Größe perfekt gewählt ist, gelangen auch keine Steine oder Schmutz in den Schuh wie bei den billigeren Konkurrenzprodukten.

Accurate size measurements make these a fantastic aid for an elderly dog needing a bit of support on laminated floors.Easy to fasten and secure, so worth the higher than average cost.
