Dog boots?

[blando 0]

One of my whippets dislocated one of her toes and tore all the ligaments, the vet said not to have it removed, and its starting to make a recovery! he did recommended that if i was going to work her to use one of these Boots as the toe will be prone to injury for quite some time.

Anyone had any experience using these boots?

Ive used one in the past on my GWP who had a paw abrasion. They're very good if you've the sort of dog that'll tolerate it lol but they're a nuisance if your dog's a fidgeter! Basically if you've the kind of daft dog that you can stick a hat on its head and it'll stand there like a fool or the sort the kids can dress up and play with they'll probably not be bothered about the boot but if you've a dog that would under no circumstances have anything daft & silly done to it you may find it'll be hard to convince it to keep it on. Id suggest you put the boot on and immediately take it out for something nice that it enjoys and try and make an association with the boot and good times.

Used one for nailbed infection. Only used it outdoors. Works good in keeping the foot dry and clean. Hard too keep on the dog, though the fitting system is pretty good a dog will pull it off after a while.
