For the Muttluks, the velcro fastener is supposed to secure tightly over their ankle bone to prevent the bootie from slipping off. The sock part is good for keeping the fur on their hocks up and out of the mud. The easiest way to get these on is to loosen the velcro completely and then flip the sock part inside-out and over the shoe part. Then just slip them on over the dog's foot, flip the socks back up and pull and tighten the bootie making sure the foot is all the way in so the fastener is over the ankle bone. The last part is the most important part as it makes sure you don't loose a bootie along the way.

This cat owner is trying to imagine putting those on my pets. We have enough fun putting on their Cat Snuggies for winter travel.
