How are you measuring? The paw for the length

I did not measure...on the back of the package, they tell you which dogs fit that size. For example, I have a Yorkie and she wears the xx-small which also fit Affenpinschers, Brussels Griffons, Chihuahuas, Italian greyhounds, Papillons, and teacup Poodles.

If you look at some of the shoes available. some have a size chart that tells you how to measure your dog.

Easiest way is to measure from the back of the pad to the end of the nails. My 20lb. min. poodle wears a Medium (the blue ones). He has a lot of hair so needs a bit of extra room. They work well for us as his hair works like a sponge when it is wet.

I bought my dog's shoes probably 2 yrs ago or so, so if the sizing is the same, I bought a size small for my staffordshire terrier & he only wears them on his hind feet to stabalize him on hardwood floors. His hind paws are a big smaller than the front paws and they measure about 2 inches across & 2 1/4 inches in length.

I took a fabric measuring tape and measured from the ankle to the elbow. Then elbow to right below the top of the hind leg. And measured the circumference of both. (If you don't have fabric tape use string and cut it. Then measure the string).Then I bought the size that was closest to my dogs measurements.

i don't remember how I measured my dogs paws , but I do remember these boots were a joke. They were anything but flexible and I couldn't get them to stay on to save my life. I would not recommend them to anybody!!

The red ones now fall off my Boston Terrier. They used to be perfect but the company is making them on a different mold now. The next size down is too small, i.e., too tight around the leg. So that's it for me. I would definitely measure front to back on the paw. However, an equally important measure is the circumference of the dog's leg. This is the place where the booties stay on or cut off circulation or fall off. I'd invest in buying two sizes at once, and try them both. Good luck.

Sorry to be a nerd, but are you sure you're not confusing 'diameter' with 'circumference'? The diameter of my bicep is barely 3 inches (I didn't say I work out!). I'm not even sure it's possible for a great dane's paws to have a diameter of 3". Do you have a male lion in your home by any chance? I'm guessing your house cat will be fine a toy with 1.5 inch diameter holes.

HI Kirsten, I used a seamstress tape to measure my dog according to the manufacturers directions. Their recommendations were spot on. Because all dogs differ in size even if they are the same breed I recommend you measure your dog before ordering.

I don't remember them giving a sizing chart. We went by the length of our dog's paw plus nails.

Take a flexible measuring tape and measure around the palm of your hand, just inside the web of your thumb. That's how I did it and it fit perfectly.

Put the dogs paw on a piece of paper, mark the widest part of the paw with a marker on both sides of the paw, measure between the two marks. I have a 20 pound male, Lhasa Apso; a "small" size Pawz boot works well even with vigorous attempts, by the litter bugger, to get them off. However, after one or two attempts he settles down and goes for his walk without any apparent notice that they are there. I have tried other boots this one works and since his is sensitive to winter road salt Pawz was the answer.

I used a fabric measuring tape (the flexible one made of cloth) and measured around his body just behind his front legs. That seemed to work OK for me. I think that you could mark the same distance with a ribbon and then compare it to a ruler or tape measure.
