Why would dogs wear shoes?
Think about all of the things that your puppy can be stepping on when you take him or her for a fabulous walk. Unfortunately, the ground is not like walking on a cloud.
Just like us, dogs feel the cold and heat, which is why protecting their paws from the elements is so important.
Paws can get irritated for a variety of reasons. They can get cut, burned, sore, etc. The outside of the paw is protected by a leathery thick skin with a fatty inner layer that works sort of like a shock absorber. This does not mean that they are perfect. Dog boots can give your pet a bit of added protection from the elements.
