Do these help to actually keep the dog's feet warm?

That I don't know. I bought them to give my dog better traction on slippery floors. They were also great here in NC when we had snow last week and someone salted the sidewalk. I didn't have to worry about him getting chemical irritation on his paws. But I don't know about warmth.

No, they protect the dogs feet against road and sidewalk salt and other chemical substances that they might have to walk on. My dog has wide webbing between his toes so the 3-4 inch would not fit over his toes. I had to give them away.

I doubt it but I bought them to keep my dog from slipping on the hardwood floor after surgery. They worked great for that purpose but he didn't really care to wear them.

No, these are really more like a thick balloon. It worked OK to keep a bandage dry on my dog's foot but not much more than that.

They are rubber, like a bike innertube. I could not get them on my dog's feet, since the leg opening was so tight.

No, they do not. They are paw protectors that are like a rubber balloon that fits over the foot. They work great on my 100lb mix. After a few walks with them he doesn't mind me putting them on or walking in them.

I don't know, I couldn't get my dog to wear them. But in fairness, she was an abused and neglected 10 year old rescue when I got her so I didn't try to push her too hard. I only wanted to care for her but not make her suffer.

Okay, these are a bit pricey, but if they keep my dog warm I don't mind. She is a chihuahua/rat terrier mix and has tiny feet. I live in northeastern PA & need to keep her warm. Is the small going to fit her?? I measured and her back foot is almost 2 inches across.

Has anyone used these for their dogs? I have two very furry pups. They are suffering as soon as it hits around 75 degrees.

No, they haven't made my feet sweat but I wear socks with them and it has been cold. They have a cloth lining in them and a great supportive foot bed that is also cloth lined. I have used them in the snow and my feet do not get cold either. They are not insulated but I was just fine and dry in them with my light wool socks on.

My toes are the only part of my foot I'm aware of that gets cold, so I can't really say, but since the warmer is inside of a closed boot I'd have to say they warm the whole foot.

They are a thin rubber. They would help somewhat, but would probably be more protective if you were walking in sand so the sand would not get between the pads of the dogs paws same as walking in the snow. They helped more with that type of issue.

One more thing I forgot to mention is that the pad does not feel warm to the touch, if the pet is not on it. Once the pet is on it, if I feel under her body, it feels "just right" warm. I guess this is a good thing, so the pad is not hot all the time, needlessly.

Depends on boots, if good boots and enough room a thinner inner pair covered by hiking socks will keep your feet warmer

No, personally they did not feel overly warm, but they are obviously different than wearing the "Crocs" type of shoe in that there is no holes for ventilation. I chose these as I wanted clean feet (without chance of the dirt getting inside the shoe) when digging in the dirt - and they did just that for me!

They are lightweight but warm. Anything would be good for dog shelters in need.

I think so but you would be using a fair amount to make sure. Its basically a soft wax that coats the area, protecting the pups from general debris. Depending on how much (how severely) your pup is walking on her ankles, you may want to consider something additional like dog boots.

Yes, they would work. I don't know if they would keep a dog cool enough in really hot days!

Yes but you need to make sure you the velcro is securely around the leg. The boot has traction around the top of the boot and sometimes the boot will turn as the dog walks but mine doesn't seem to mind. The dogs have to get used to wearing them so they may not move a lot at first but keep trying they will.

Dianna, They will keep the dogs' feet dry, but the boots are really nothing more than thick balloons. My dog had surgery on his paw, so these were the best choice for him, just to keep his foot dry and clean. They will keep the snow off their feet, but if you're looking for something more permanent, I'd go with a"real" pair of winter boots for your pup. Hope this info helps.

I used the booties on my Boxer who was losing use of her hind legs . She like having them on on floors as they gave her stability. I did notice that if left on for several days that moisture developed inside. I would suggest removing them for a period of time each day to avoid making your dogs problems worse. I found that they were quite secure on my dog and required a bit of a tug to get on and to get off which I thought was a good thing. Also check your dogs diet. Good luck.

I have a old Golden, and these made a huge difference. I though she would mind having them on, but she walks around with them and doesn't even notice them. They do make her look like she has duck feet, but she doesn't slip on the floor anymore.

The word Paws is molded into the bootie and helps with traction a bit. Most of all, these don't come off. They are the only booties that actually stay put. I highly recommend them for protection against salt. They are not insulated and not made for warmth.
