Leopard Print PU Dog Shoes with Zipper and Strap

These dog shoes have a leopard-print upper made from PU flocking, with a zipper up the front and a hook-and-loop strap across the top to hold each shoe on. Inside is a soft lining, and the thick black sole has a paw print tread for grip. They come in gold, red or pink with a shiny edge trim, in five sizes from 1 to 5.

The zipper makes them easier to put on than a pull-on boot, since you can open the shoe, slide the paw in and close it. Fasten the strap snugly but not tight, and check that your dog can still flex the paw.

Sizing matters with dog shoes. Measure your dog's paw from the heel pad to the toe tip before ordering and choose the size that leaves a little room at the front. If your dog is between sizes, go up one. Try the shoes indoors first, for a few minutes at a time, because many dogs high-step at first.

The surface is a flocked PU, so wipe it with a damp cloth rather than soaking it, and let the shoes dry before storing them. Fashion shoes like these are better for light use than for rough trails.
