Preventive Benefits of Paw Protection For The Dog
Snow/Ice/Snow Crystals/Slush
In a climate with lots of snow your dog’s paws can get painfully cold or even get frost bite. The paws can also get snow crystals between the toes. If a dog spends any length of time in these conditions, it should wear shoes or boots. The suspenders will prevent any dog footwear from being lost in the snow.

Cracked ice can cut paws, salt and chemicals for melting snow can also be toxic to dogs. Again Snuggy Boots can protect your dog from injury. Protect your dog from the pain and freezing conditions in this kind of weather.

Hot Asphalt/Concrete
When outside temperatures are in the upper nineties asphalt becomes very hot. A dog should not walk on such hot asphalt for even a short distance. The bottom of their paw pads can become blistered instantly.
Concrete is less likely to become as hot as asphalt but in a desert type environment concrete could also become very hot.
This is when a set of Snuggy Boots should be kept at hand for just such an occasion. When you really care about your pet, it is best to take a couple minutes to put on the boots/suspenders. You will be glad you did and so will your dog.

Watch out for lime rock paths and gravel roads. These can cause serious damage to paw pads. Asphalt and concrete can also have coarse surfaces which can quickly remove skin from the bottom of the paw pads.

Often overlooked is the hazardous conditions presented by Kool Deck coating and similar pool deck finishing surfaces. Many dogs love to be in water. They spend a lot of time in the water with their owners and the children. Pads are softened by the water and when the dog comes out of the water they cut their paws on the coarse slip resistant deck.
