Dog Booties. Is there such a thing?
I live in Alberta, Canada and it gets a wee bit cold here in the winter. I went to take my dog (Cockerspaniel) for a walk last night. We just had a snow fall. Before we made it out of the cul-de-sac she was limping and then walking on only three legs switching legs constantly to try and warm up each foot. Of course I took her stright home.This happened once before when we had our first snowfall, that time she cried and layed down. Im assuming either snow gets jamed in her paw and turns into ice, or the pads of her feet are freezing. Im wondering if there are some booties that we can put on her for walks in the winter or if anyone has any other ideas. I dont want to buy a cheap brand that falls off. Also we have snow from 3-6 months of the year, so I dont think not taking her for walks is an option. I do avoid the extremely cold days though.
thanks
