. I have a doxie too and he does not like the cold, we have to make him walk and he shivers so bad...they are so low to the ground. Please let me know if you find good boots for your doxie, I know they are hard to find because of their lack on ankles lol.
Dogs feet can get very messed up from snow and ice (and what the city puts down on the streets during the winter). Ice can cause cuts, and snow and ice can also cause frost bite which can be very serious. It can also be very painful for dogs to walk on ice and snow. One of my dogs cannot walk on snow if it's really cold out (like 25 degrees F and below). She literally cries out in pain and just falls down.I don't get those things. I see people in the city with their dogs' feet all wrapped up and the poor pups look so miserable...do they actually do anything for a dog, I mean, anything quantifiable and proven by vets or scientists? Dogs are outdoor creatures originally, their paws and paw pads are designed to be walked on in all kinds of weather, it just seems so strange to me to stick them in "shoes"...
Of course I could be totally wrong
I know they are expensive, but they are really good quality. Last winter we went through 3 pairs of cheaper boots with our dog, which was basically wasted money! Look on Ebay, maybe you could find the same ones cheaper.
