I'm looking for some dog boots for my pup for winter. What are the best options? Does anyone have any tips to help my dog get used to them? Thanks

What are you planning to use the for? For short walks where salt is a problem, you could probably get by with rubber booties. Mushers are a good cheap option that are good on packed snow. Go for neoprene if you need to hold in heat—good if your dog will be outside for long periods. Wax is also a good alternative to boots.
Hi @SirBarksALot, We have reviewed several kinds of snow and winter boots for dogs. Personally, my dog likes snug booties, and I always get the kind with Velcro straps. My pups are very good at wiggling out of boots, so my biggest concern is picking ones that stay on. To get my dogs used to them, we start with two at a time, walking around the house. Once they get used to two, I add the other two. It helps to practice at home before heading out to the park or for a walk.
