Winter Dog Boots
Our winter dog boots keep small paws warm and dry on snow, ice and salted sidewalks. Each pair of boots comes as a set of four, with a soft fleece or faux-shearling lining, a grippy rubber sole and an easy hook-and-loop strap, in designer looks inspired by UGG and other classic winter boots.
Why dogs need boots in winter
Cold pavement, snow balls between the toes and road salt can crack and burn a dog’s paw pads. Small and short-haired breeds feel it first: Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, Italian Greyhounds, Pomeranians, Yorkies and Toy Poodles. Dog snow boots put a warm, waterproof-feeling layer between the paw and the ground, and the rubber tread gives grip on slippery paths. After the walk you simply take them off, without wiping salt off every paw.
How to find the right size
Stand your dog on a sheet of paper, mark the back of the front paw pad and the tip of the longest nail, and measure the length; measure the widest part of the paw too. Pick the boot whose sole is a few millimeters longer than the paw. Every product has its own size chart with the sole length and width, and the size calculator shows the size that fits your dog. Front paws are usually a little larger than back paws, so measure the front ones.
Getting your dog used to boots
Most dogs walk funny the first time they wear boots. Put them on at home for a few minutes, reward your dog with a treat, and make the first walks short. After a few days most dogs forget they are wearing them.

Winter dog boots FAQ
Do dogs really need boots in winter?
Not every dog, but boots protect paws from ice, cold and de-icing salt, which can dry out and crack the pads. Small dogs, short-haired dogs, older dogs and dogs with sensitive paws benefit the most.
How many boots are in a set?
Our winter dog boots come as a set of four, one for each paw.
How do I know which size to choose?
Measure the length and width of your dog’s front paw and compare it with the sole length and width in the product’s size chart. If your dog is between two sizes, choose the larger one.
