Ruffwear Bark’n Boots GripTrex - chaussure pour chien

We bought these shoes for our very active Swiss Shepherd because she has sensitive paws and after long walks or hikes she has a lot of bruises, cuts, scratches and needs healing for at least a week. We decided to invest into high quality shoes and definately do not regret. Overall we ordered 3 pairs, because we were not sure about the size and after fitting we stayed with smaller sizes (in our case front and back boots are different size). Before putting on shoes, we trim nails carefully, put on socks (we got same ruffwear socks), put shoes and tight them. She takes just a minute a get used to them and doesn't mind walking. Fist time we tried boots on wet slipper smooth pathway and it didn't went well. She tried to run fast, fell down and lost one boot, the other one turned around. So I would recommend holding dog on short leash if there is any danger of slipping or falling. Second attempt was way more successful. We were hiking on rocky hills, I put on shoes with socks, she was running for approx 11 km without leash, always jumping, going up and down the hill, it was not slippery, shoes stayed in place, she didn't get any injuries and paws just stayed in perfect condition! I think she was even able to have more fun, cause she didn't have to walk carefully on sharp rocks. We also use one boot for daily walks and running in the beach now, because again she got a nail injury during play and needs extra protection for one leg daily. Again, the boot is great protection and stays in place. Overall, I am very satisfied with the boots and highly recommend this product!

J'ai un berger picard de treize ans qui termine tranquillement une longue complicité avec nous et qui avait renoncé à se lever seul et à marcher. nous lui achetions en magasin, au fur-et-à-mesure de leur usure, des bottines "Walker Active Trixie" qui ne cessaient de tourner sur ses pattes et le faisaient chuter. En désespoir de cause, j'ai détaillé tous les sites sur internet avant de trouver ces bottines qui me semblaient les plus adéquates. Balto, mon chien, se lève de nouveau seul (pour peu que l'on bloque ses pattes arrières) et déambule sans problème particulier. J'ignore de combien de temps nous avons rallongé son existence, mais il a incontestablement retrouvé la joie de se balader avec nous (dans ses limites évidemment). Progrès constatés avec les "pattes" avant : nous commandons immédiatement la version arrière, le tout après mesures. Nous recommandons sans restrictions pour grands chiens.

Très bien pour la marche tranquille, mais en cas de sprint ou de dérapages, les chaussures se retournent sans arrêt et du coup le tissu du dessus se déchire en un instant sur terrain abrasif. Donc bof.
