Boots for Dogs: Trendy or Practical?

Have you ever walked on hot pavement or snow barefoot? It hurts! Now imagine what it must be like for your dog when they go on walks. Dogs don’t have the option to slip on those comfy tennis shoes or trusty snow boots, and a lot of the time they have to go outside just to go to the bathroom. But what if I told you that there is a way to protect those precious little paws? Dog Booties! Yes, they are a thing, but are they worth the hype? Read on to find out.

Dogs in their Booties

We see some of our hardest working Canine friends on the daily grind to fight crime and keep criminals off the street. However, these dogs don’t always have the option to walk around the broken glass or have their owner keep an eye out for chemical spills or rough and rocky terrain. There is nothing that a dog parent or handler wants more than for their best friend to stay safe and healthy on the job. And hey, there is nothing wrong with being fashionable too! K9 Buck from the Vermont State Police Department looks incredible in his vest and booties and looks quite proud to be wearing them too. Just look at that smile!

If the shoe fits, wear it! Life doesn’t have to be serious and fashion choices don’t have to be practical. These four-legged friends look incredible, even if it was just for a quick Instagram shot. 

Why can’t they be both trendy and practical?

Something as simple as boots shouldn’t have to be put into one category or the other. Do you want your dog to be trendy and have soft feet that feel amazing? Or just be able to do what they love a lot longer? If you said yes to any of these, a pair of Dog booties are for you. Boots also don’t fit just one personality, some of our favorite… Rif Ruf sneakers are listed on our Shop Small page where you can get an exclusive discount. Check it out here!

We are confident you will be able to find one that brings out the inner diva or athlete in your fierce four-legged friend. Will you be getting your dog booties? Let us know!
