Best dog paw protectors according to redditors

This is the one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Y4F84JM/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My rule was if the paws are too rough on the edges they're bad. Usually I see little peels and cracks on his paws.

It's just a normal giraffe, dummy. It's just wearing a dog mask and socks.

Have you tried putting grippy baby socks on her? They also have some made just for dogs.. like these: http://www.amazon.com/Petego-Traction-Control-Indoor-Socks/dp/B003OYIBG4

I don't have experience taking care of older dogs though, so I can't offer any advice beyond that :( I wish you both the best.

Aww thats too bad. Its such a great jacket. Heres the link to the booties.

Mushers Wax works really well to protect pads from ice and salt. It's sold on Amazon, I keep some in my backpack for my dog.

Yeah! I bought them from Amazon, but you can get them other places too, our boy is 75# and is size large

Is he scared because he slipped before? A lot of older or big dogs don't like hardwood floors because they've previously hurt themselves.

It might make him feel more comfortable if you get him rubber socks. We got them for our pup after he slipped and fell on the floor and banged up his knees. We got these ones from Amazon. They do a good job gripping floors. However, it took a long time for my pup to get used to them and not bite them off. Occasionally, we have to put a velcro tie so they don't slip off because his feet are so small.

We got these, they've worked great for our pup! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ET0G9QQ/ref=twister_B01M1EXU4M?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

edit: we've only used them indoors

I have a super-long email thread with my SO about exactly this for our pitt-mix because she also has sensitive feet, and I refuse to spend more than $25 on things for her. She's just going to lose/destroy it anyway! Here's what we've found that works for her:

1) RC Pet Sport Pawks + shoelaces:
I cut up some old shoelaces and wrapped them around her ankles over the sock (above the dewclaws), then folded the top of the sock over the laces, which keeps these in place. Otherwise she just walks out of them. Some other people use velcro straps for this, but I didn't have any on-hand.

Pros:

• Cheap
  
  
• Easy to fit: literally just measure their feet correctly and you're good to go
  
  
• Easy to replace
  
  
• The only thing effective at keeping deep snow out
  
  
• Lasts about a season if used daily on pavement
  
  
  Cons:
  
  
• Got annoying to put on
  
  
• NOT waterproof: if water touches the part that isn't wrapped in silicone, they soak up
  
  
• Not great for traction on ice
  
  
• Keeps snow off of the feet, but snow clings to the sock material and melts=soaks when they come in
  
  
• Machine-washable (delicate), but not dryer-friendly
  
  
• Takes about 12 hours to inside-out air-dry
  
  
  2) PetLeso Waterproof Pet Shoes:
  These are what we're using right now because we actually have four of them!
  
  Pros:
  
  
• Cheap enough
  
  
• Keeps the feet dry
  
  
• Provides some traction on ice
  
  
• Much easier to put on than socks
  
  
• Amazon Prime = she loses one, and a replacement comes quickly
  
  
• Dries up in about 2 hours (air-dry): they're not water-proof like galoshes or those disposable balloon-slipper things, but they have a dual-lining that keeps the water from soaking through
  
  
• The built-in wrap-around velcro helps keep them on...
  
  
  Cons:
  
  
• They're huge: the velcro has to be pulled very tight, which doubles over the fabric a bit, but they stay on. I'm pretty sure my dog thinks she's walking in clown-shoes because they're not dog-foot-shaped by design.
  
  
• If the snow is deep enough, it will accumulate in the ankle of the boot until it melts, but it won't go inside because of the velcro barrier.
  
  
  Haven't tried to wash these yet, and they didn't come with washing instructions/recommendations. Will probably gentle-cycle in a mesh bag, and air-dry, and I expect them to be okay.
  
  3) This random pair I got for $14ish at Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls/HomeGoods that I can't find anywhere on the internet:
  These are our favorite of the three, but she friggen lost one.
  
  Pros:
  
  
• Easy to put on
  
  
• Velcro strap keeps them securely on her foot, if you pull them tight enough
  
  
• Keeps her feet dry
  
  
• Dries up quickly (like 2 hours, air-dry)
  
  
• Does OK on ice
  
  
• Fits well on her feet
  
  
• Machine-washable (delicate), air-dry
  
  
  Cons:
  
  
• Also doesn't do well in deep snow: accumulates in the ankle region
  
  
• Having a really hard time replacing these since they're a seasonal item and I really can't find them online. Planning to buy out the store come next winter.
  
  Suggestions we have not tried yet:
  
  
• These if you anticipate going through deep snow a lot. We don't get a ton of snow all at once, and our dog also needs booties for contact-allergy issues, so we didn't think these were worth getting for her needs. They're out of stock right now, but keep an eye on it if you're interested. They were around $40 last I saw.
  
  
• This is next on our to-try list. They're higher and have an extra strap that we hope will better-guard against higher snow. My two concerns are: (1) is the material towards the top going to dry out quickly or take forever like the socks? (2) shipping is a month's wait, so she better not lose one.
  
  
• We also want to try these, but these would really be more for walking on fairly well-shoveled/salted sidewalks and roads because they're really short.
  
  Tips
  
  
• Booties work best when they fit the dog properly. The closer you can get to your dog's exact measurement, the better luck you will have. Measure carefully, and don't be shy about returning or exchanging if they're too big. If they're too big, they will walk right out of them or the booties will spin around on their feet. But also don't forget to accommodate if he has long nails!
  
  
• The front paws are usually bigger than the back ones, so base your order off of the FRONT paw measurements. You can measure front and back, and use that info to perfect your dog's set of booties AND get an extra set for just-in-case.
  eg) Our dog needs Mediums of the in-store-only pair from above, but since they were all out of Ms when she lost one, I got the last pair in Small and we only put the smalls on her back feet. We also did this with the Sport Pawks. You can use colored thread to sew in indicators for which-go-where if the booties are all the same-looking.
  
  
• Read through the reviews. You may notice that I suggested some low-rated stuff. A LOT of people don't measure carefully and then blame the shoe for being too big/small. It's your money, so just use your best judgment.
  
  
• Pull really tight around the ankles to keep them on. I pull on her bootie straps until I'm afraid I'm going to cut her circulation, but she's always fine, probably because the booties are pretty thick. I trust that she'll put up a fuss if she's in pain or uncomfortable, and we can just adjust accordingly. We have yet to argue about it.
  
  
• If your dog hates booties, you either didn't give him enough time to get used to walking in them before going out, or he really just hates booties and you should consider something like Musher's or Vaseline.
  
  Good luck! =]

/u/rosebert!!!! Look!!! https://smile.amazon.com/Womens-Various-Pattern-Mixed-Colors/dp/B00TFSLT2Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500665634&sr=8-1&keywords=cute+socks+for+women

The black and pink is normal :) She'll start gaining more dark pigmentation as she gets older. That's nothing to worry about!

I second the Musher's Secret. It'll protect her paws and keep them from getting too dry and cracking. Also, put it on right before a walk to protect her paws from the ice melt (salt) that is often used. Then wipe her paws off immediately when you get back.

I bought my boy some cheap boots for now, since his paws may grow. Be sure to let her get used to them slowly, as they may need to be broken in, just like human shoes. Also, if she has dewclaws, make sure they don't get caught on the boots. One way to prevent this is to buy socks or boot liners to cover the dewclaws. Vet wrap can also be used to protect the dewclaws and protect her paws while breaking in the boots.

I like this pair of boots for the price. Here are some [boot liners] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LHXQTQS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483897676&sr=8-1&keywords=dog+boot+liners).

Be patient with the boots. Most dogs hate them at first.

Good luck! :)

I just bought ours at a petstore (Petco) or use a baby sock.

Here are a couple I found that looks like it would allow for more air access for the wound:

Look into a knee brace maybe? This is the one i bought for my doggo, it will be in tomorrow so ill let you know how it goes

Something I haven't seen posted yet: I use dog socks for my dog because he doesn't like the feeling of something plastic/rubber against his paws, even if there is a fabric layer between it.
Here is the brand I use:

Should be fine as long as they're mainly on the sidewalk and the suns had been down for an hour there's no need for boots unless you want your dog wearing boots. My golden that the vet said has "soft paws" walks fine at about 8:30 with the wax pawtector and it helps him run safer without cracking his pads.

without seeing a still from the image you record, You have to kill or soften the overhead fluros, multi shadow and gross.

You have to be careful to watch your light output, what stop are you trying for and what ISO is your target?

Personally, maybe something like 2 par 64s - very wide globe (similar to http://www.amazon.com/American-DJ-PAR-Package-Black/dp/B0002GY8VY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452725162&sr=8-1&keywords=par+64) for backlights

• Diffuse these and gel them to desired
  
  I would want 2 LARGE and SOFT sources for key and fill, as it's hosting and you said you didnt want those shadow on the display racks. The octogon lights you have there aren't horrid actually - reglobe them, look into http://www.amazon.com/LED-Lumens-replacement-Daylight-Non-Dimmable/dp/B00KNNMITK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452725430&sr=8-1&keywords=150w+led+bulb or similar.
  
  
• pull the diffusion from the front of the octogon
  
• aim and fill a 6x6 diffusion ( http://www.amazon.com/Westcott-Scrim-2-Stop-Cloth-Diffuser/dp/B016N3U5CU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1452725601&sr=8-4&keywords=6x6+diffusion or similar ) or hell even a thin white sheet
  
• watch your spill
  
• adjust levels accordingly

You can pick some up here at the very least. http://www.amazon.com/Power-Paws-traction-socks-white/dp/B003V1LCBG

They have your choice of colors

First, that type of dog has absolutely no undercoat. He will be chilled more quickly than other dogs of his size. Consider buying him a coat, preferably one that wraps fully around his ribcage (rather than one that only covers his back and has a strap around the chest or belly) to keep him warmer overall in cold weather. It will keep his whole body temp higher and that will help a bit with the cold paws.

I use PawGuard by 4paws on my dogs pawpads to protect her feet from drying and cracking and from ice melt products. It works well, it's inexpensive, and it won't stain your carpets or furniture. Also safe for the dog to lick and he can't lick it all off. It's essentially a lanolin wax that moisturizes the pawpads and creates a barrier over them so ice melt can't penetrate and burn the skin.

PawGuard, Musher's Secret or similar products don't protect against cold, they just moisturize the pawpads, keep them from cracking and protect against ice melt products. PawGuard comes in a 3" x 3" square tin and you can press the paw into it and then just rub it in. You may need to acclimate your dog to having his paws handled to do this, but it's workable.

Edit: I've found the easiest way to get a dog used to touching his feet is to incorporate touching them into petting sessions. So when he's relaxed and laying near you, just give him long strokes on his body and legs and BRIEFLY touch his feet, then keep on giving the long slow strokes everywhere else. If you're talking to him while you do this, also speak slowly and softly.

If he's really just impossible about it, you can treat him for allowing touches to his feet. I actually do bring peanut butter and an iced-tea spoon to the vet to clip my dog's nails. She licks the PB off the spoon while they clip her nails and she is very cooperative!

She still will leave the room in my house if she sees nail clippers, but she does let me handle her feet freely. I got her used to that with the petting sessions and touching them during those. Hope it works for you too.
He may also need dog booties, and I haven't tried those myself so really can't advise you on best type or brand.

If he's picking up paws in cold, take him inside quickly. Dogs can get frostbite!

I found any of the ones that have a hard flat sole were a non-starter for my dog. We found some "socks" that he received much better probably because he can still feel the ground. Similar to
