Breathable Mesh Dog Boots, Set of 4

Hot pavement, gritty trails and cold, icy sidewalks can be hard on paws, and these boots add a layer between your dog and the ground. Each set holds four boots, with a triple-layer mesh upper that is shaped to the contour of a paw and a rubber outsole with a rugged, anti-slip tread. The toe section is made from a durable leather-look material described as water resistant.

Two nylon straps with dual adjustment points let you tighten each boot to a secure fit, and the straps carry reflective material, with more reflective accents on the boots, to help your dog be seen on evening walks. A hook-and-loop closure holds the boot opening shut. The set comes in green or blue, with sizes numbered 1 to 8. The set weighs about 6.7 to 7.1 oz (190-200 g).

To put one on, open the boot fully, slide the paw in until it reaches the tip, fasten the hook-and-loop strap and adjust the straps so the fit is snug but not tight. Measure your dog's paw before choosing a size, and let your dog walk around indoors in the boots before heading out. Our guide to dog boots has more tips.
