Question 1

Don't the dogs slip in them since they don't have any grip?  We live in Minnesota and want them for our lab and Shipoo (furry feet(

Accepted Answer

They are fine for snow, but on ice they have zero grip. Our dog runs fine in the snow and doesn't get cold feet for over twenty minutes, but it's comical on ice due to the smooth surface (the pawz label offers some traction but not enough for more than a few steps). We attempt to avoid it with our dog at all costs, but snow is fine.

Question 2

These look like balloons.  Are they just glorified balloons?

Accepted Answer

It sure looks like it. For my dog during the crazy vortex last winter we used balloons (for waterproofing) on top of cheap felt dog booties (for warmth and comfort). Worked great. I saw things like this product at a pet store and LOLed. I'm sure they're sturdier than balloons but if they're only meant to last for a few uses, like the balloons, then I don't see how they're better than the balloons. My dog always wears the balloons by themselves (when his allergies to stuff in grass act up) and he's never punctured one with his nails.

Question 3

What size would I get for a 10lb shitzu, I order XX Small but those were too small?

Accepted Answer

I have Lhasa Apsos. One is 18lbs and the other is 10lbs. Both use the orange color. As new "boots", they are tight. You need to pull and stretch a few times as they are worn to make them a little bigger or flexible for your dog. Stretch them lengthwise. The cuff or opening you want to keep tight so they don't slip off. I have lost a few as they get old(6 months). My dogs have gotten accustomed to using these in winter and summer. No snow packed between digits and protects their feet from the salt which they will try to lick off. I recommend using these 100%.

Question 4

I have Shit-Zu, what kind of size should I get???

Accepted Answer

My comment is about the spelling.  You may, indeed, think of your little precious as a "Shit-Zu," but the correct spelling is Shih Tzu.  I noticed someone else made the same mistake.  It is good to know what kind of a dog you have! :)
