Protection for paws that drag.
When a paw knuckles over, the top of the foot scrapes the ground with every step.
A hard rubber sole and rubber toe take the wear instead, while the lift cords help the paw land flat.

Measure the paw
Measure the widest part of the paw while your dog stands, and the leg 1 in above the joint.

Questions dog parents ask
Trace your dog’s paw on paper while they stand and measure the widest part, then message us. We will confirm the right size before it ships, free. Between sizes, go up.
Most dogs need a few short practice sessions. Start indoors for a few minutes with treats, then build up to short walks. Check the paw and leg for rubbing after each session.
Just tight enough that the toes sit level when the paw is on the ground. Lifting too far can strain the front of the leg, so start loose and adjust in small steps.
Wipe with a damp cloth or hand wash gently, then air dry.
No. Each boot is sold on its own, so you can order exactly what your dog needs. Choose the 2-pack for both back paws or the 4-pack for all four.
