Boots for Seniors

Max is wearing these:

He only wears one on his back right foot. They are lightweight and I even throw them in the washer when they get too dirty. We also tried these:

They worked well too and very lightweight also. But Max drags the top of one paw and we were going through a boot about every two weeks because he sometimes walks for a ways on concrete - not far, but enough to chew up the top of those. If Storm isn't dragging his feet, I think the all purpose ones would work just fine.

Thanks so much for the info....will check out the tips for seniors, too!

the rubber bottom boots are good as long as your dog doesn't have any nuerological issues, or problems with his gate. if he does rubber bottom boots or bulky boots will make walking for him even worse.
boots are a hard thing to fit. i ended up with suede boots for my 12 year old. very light weight and conform to the foot. very easy for them to walk in. i dip them in a product called plasti-dip so the bottoms are not slippery.
i got the first pair from a company called lucky dog equipment, but they just recently sold out to a company in texas. i placed my last order through them. these boots are very reasonable in price.
