We're having a Carrie Bradshaw moment thinking about all the wonderful shoes to add to poochie's closet. Sneakers, booties, hikers, canvas, leather, pleather, fleece, sequins, oh, the options are endless! There are few things in life more therapeutic than shoe shopping – even if it's for someone else, and any reason to make over our paws is a good reason indeed.

“My shoes are special shoes for discerning feet” - Manolo Blahnik |
With chilly fall days and winter on its way, we've got boots on the brain. Cute yet functional, boots can protect poochie's delicate tootsies from salty roads, hot pavement, snow, ice, mud, broken glass and other outside debris. Whether you're going urban cowboy with rhinestone cowdog boots, or if you prefer the classic Converse-inspired sneaker, join style and substance to dress up those fuzzy feet.
To size your dog for a pair of boots, print out the size chart offered on our website. Place her paw on the printout, squishing back the fur. Measuring from the back of the pad to the end of the toenail, find the outline that matches your pup's paw best. Use the size chart provided to take her weight and breed into account as well, and don't forget the matching coat!

As fun as a night of trick-or-treating can be, remember that a stream of sugar-crazed ghosts, goblins and Power Rangers can be overwhelming for your pet. Keep visits short and if poochie gets frightened by the neighborhood kids, put her in another room while you dole out the candy.
A word to our feline friends - it is especially important to keep kitty inside the house for several days before and after Halloween. Black cats in particular may be at risk to children's pranks or other cruelty-related incidents. |
