Ruby's New Shoes!!

So Ruby and I go on fundraiser walks and many of them require us to either walk on the road or sidewalks. Because of the heat I decided to get her some shoes so she wouldn't burn her pads.

I like that the Pawz Dog Boots are 100% Biodegradable. I originally was going to buy her the medium size but after Google searching, I found a size chart that listed some breeds and what sizes they would need. I didn't feel like measuring her feet so this was a great thing to find. The back of the packaging has a paw measure chart too. It is kind of like the mats you find in the shoe stores where you just put your foot on it to get an idea.

Large was the way to go! When I first got them earlier today, I only put one on to begin with and she did not want to use that paw at all. It was kind of funny seeing her get around and chase the ball hopping around trying to only use 3 legs.

This evening I put the two front ones on and she was a lot happier and actually played with them on. She likes going in her swimming pool... but not while having her shoes on. I think she will go in her swimming pool once she is used to them some more.

Since tomorrow is the 4th of July, I am not going to put them all on. This coming week I will since on Saturday we are doing a fundraiser walk that requires us to walk on the road. With it being 70+ degrees outside, I don't want to have to worry about her getting enough water, heatstroke, and her pads. Now I can just focus on keeping her cool and watching for signs that she is getting too hot.
