I purchased 2 sets of the boots for our pups. The first set is for Luna our Malamute/Retriever mix (rescue) who is about 10-12yrs old. When we take Luna for walks, we noticed she would lag behind and drag her one back paw on the ground and wear her nails down to the quick. Since she has been wearing the boots when we walk, she no longer lags behind and she is no longer dragging her back paw on the pavement. The other set is for our Australian Shepherd Pooka is 8yrs old. Since he is starting to get a little older, we decided to go ahead and have him start wearing the boots when we walk especially on pavement. We live in SE GA so the pavement can be uncomfortable on their paws, even very early in the mornings. I love the fact that I can purchase the correct sizes they ...

I live where summertime temperatures average over 100° for 1 to 2 months at a time. My dog is also my service dog so when I have to go out he does too so keeping his feet protected from the hot pavement is a high priority for me. Over the years I have used a few different brands of boots because my first service dog was not a fan of any boots so I tried different styles to see if any would work for her. Now that I have a dog that is very happy to wear boots I knew that I wanted him to have the best quality and that was Ruffwear. The boots are easy to put on his feet and he seems very comfortable.I do wish they had come in a storage bag so they were easier to keep together but I am using one from my first service dogs ruffwear boots. Love the new color combinations ... MoreI live where summertime temperatures average over 100° for 1 to 2 months at a time.

My dog instantly adapted to these which was kind of disappointing because I was looking forward to goofy walking lol. We climbed a mountain yesterday and I brought them with just in case, on the way down she kept sitting so I put them on (with socks) and it was like she was so excited to have them on she wanted to fly down the trail, the rocky trail (not skree) was more irritating for her paws than I realized. She thought she was invincible now lol, but they are definitely more slick than just paws so she did slide a few times on steep dirt and tripped on bigger rocks while getting used to wearing them.Only gripe - I think I bought and returned three separate pairs before I finally got ones that fit, so who knows how much these ended up costing after the shipping ...

The designers do not take into account how giant paws are shaped. I got the boots that fit her width exactly and they were too small because of how tall her paws are too. I did a video fitting with an employee after my first order failure and the sizes that were recommended to me also didn't fit (couldn't even get on) and if I had listened about keeping 3" for the front paws, she would've been in so much pain. I ended up just getting the biggest ones for the front and second biggest for back and hoped for the best, and they fit great, but according to their sizing (and person from video call) it would be too big. Silver lining, with her fat paws these definitely aren't falling off. I think socks are definitely required for overall comfort though. One last thing, after my own measuring failed, and meeting with an employee for a video call fitting failed, I tried asking for some advice via the chat and it was the most useless "help" feature I've ever seen. Is it just an AI that copies and pastes their FAQ info? Not at all helpful and honestly it really irritated me, and that ****** thing popping up all the time while I'm trying to shop now just irritates me more.I love Ruffwear and own probably half their products lol but my biggest complaint is that their large/xl sizes are not designed for actually large/xl dogs, so when following their chart for the really big sizes, they are assuming paws are still shaped like a golden retriever's. Or in the case with vests, they assume the dog is just fat and not actually extra large in shape so while the girth is well within the range they say, the arm holes don't even reach.

The boots are some of the most expensive on the market. They are well made and that at least justifies the price - I rather pay more for something that’s durable and functional than a cheaper alternative that won’t last. Being able to buy front and back paw boots in different sizes is definitely a plus, since fit is important to successful use. That said, getting the right fit is a bit hit or miss. I followed instructions and still had to make an exchange, however, that’s easy to do, as long as you calculate for the extra time. I’m sure I got the right size now, but my dog is not really a fan. I did a slow intro as advised, but he still just rather goes barefoot. We have worked our way up to a mile of running with boots, there are no chafe marks on his feet and no ...

I did a slow intro as advised, but he still just rather goes barefoot. We have worked our way up to a mile of running with boots, there are no chafe marks on his feet and no boot came off - they are working as supposed to. I’m not really sure what would make my dog like them more - for that, I’d have to try other boots and see if there’s a difference. Perhaps being a bit longer and not sitting so close to the dew claws might help, or if the boots would not fold on bent feet but were manufactured a little bent (more like human shoes, if that makes sense). I would also love if left and right boots would close in opposite directions, so I know which boot belongs on which foot without marking them (front and back are distinguishable by size).All in all really nice boots (and I do use them with socks), there’s just no way to predict how a dog likes them without using them and starting to break them in. At that point, they can’t be returned as a new and unused item and if a dog just doesn’t like them, it’s a lot of money gone. That’s the risk of trying something new.
These Ruffwear dog boots are the best! The treads/soles on them are not too thin and not too thick so they are flexible, yet hold up well. We live in Mesa,AZ and as you know our day time highs are well over 100 degrees all summer long and with the heat island effect, The sidewalks and streets don’t really cool off until October. I would not dream of taking my dogs out during the summer months without their Ruffwear boots. I like the fact that there is only one strap on each boot. Also be sure to put the boots on, adjust the strap and give a little tug on the boot to make sure it doesn’t slip off. We have two service dogs and they both wear Ruffwear. They get compliments whenever we go.
We’ve been using these boots for our dogs for many many years. From protecting their feet from snow, ice and snow melt chemicals to protection in instances of foot or soft tissue injuries we’re happy to have them.There’s always room for improvement. The last three or four pairs we purchased had Velcro straps that unfortunately don’t stay closed in the snow for more than 10 minutes or so. You need to use your fingernails or something similar to scrape the snow and ice out of the exposed Velcro so that they’ll stick again. Depending on how long you’re out in the snow, you may have to repeat the process several times over.Other than that, they’ve always been super durable and comfortable for our dogs.
I got these to protect my dog's paws from the Florida-heated concrete. After walking him 3+ miles a day, his paws were getting torn up so I decided we needed a better option than trying to time our walks with the temp. So, we got some shoes. My first set didn't fit him well - I ordered them too big, but the really wonderful folks on your support team helped me re-measure, looked at photos, and explained how they should fit better, and I got him better fitting ones.He still walks like a dork when we first put them on. He has had to learn to pick his feet up a little more than when he isn't wearing them. We started with short 5 minute walks, then 10, and now we're up to 20 minute walks in them with no problems. I can see the little bit of wear on them from the ... MoreI got these to protect my dog's paws from the Florida-heated concrete.

I can see the little bit of wear on them from the concrete and I'm grateful his little beans are spared.They're cute. He's a corgi with short, fat little chonky legs and they're staying put. I do have to readjust them every now and then, but that's to be expected!

So these boots have a stiffer sole, which makes them loads easier to slide onto my medium-haired dog's paws than other brand's styles. He doesn't love them, but he tolerates them well enough. Unfortunately, the velcro hits right at his front dew claws, so I ordered some socks to go under them. Hopefully that will help! Right now they do irritate his front paws and he's able to undo the velcro pretty easily. I do love the color (lichen green), which will make it easier for people to see my dog's paws when he lies down. I got these mostly for protecting his paws from the road salt in the winter. So far we haven't used these on loads of different terrain but they seem to be holding up well.
Honestly the tread is nice except if you know what it’s like to have blisters on your feet then you know how fast you put socks on to help. So dogs have the little claw on the left side and it’s like the thumb so that being said people do not have thumbs on their feet. That would be challenging if you had to have a sock on also. So with some minor chafing that caused some slight bleeding it made the boot on that exact foot way too painful and or uncomfortable he was fighting just to get that boot off. He didn’t mind the other boots at all. So it was observed that Just that one hurt foot because of the boot there was a significant increase in the pain enough to fight to get the boot off. And so I highly recommend improving the cushioning for a no sock or barefoot ...
