This is the third time she's ripped open a paw in some way:
- today's incident of ripping open the side of her right, rear paw
- front paw, while digging to try to get under a neighbor's fence
- rear paw, while outside
As such, we've decided that she's going to start wearing boots when we're out walking. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for boots for her?
I think you have to go into a really large pet store and try on different brands to see which brand fits best.
One tip, most dogs hate wearing boots and initially refuse to walk. My late Angel just stood in place as if she was paralyzed and I had to coax her into walking by standing a few feet away from her and tempting her with her favorite treats. Alter a few successful steps she started the process of getting used to the boots. The next step was to play fetch with her while the boots were on. After that was successful we were good to go!
