Guardian Gear Oxford Dog Boots, XX-Large, 5-1/2-Inch, Yellow

I bought these dog boots for rainy days, when my big boy dog typically runs through mud in the yard. I got tired of constantly wiping up brown paw prints in the kitchen, so I thought this might be a solution. Put them on before going out, off coming in. Voila! Well sorta. The elastic around the top is quite loose. There is a narrow band which cinches and velcros as well. But make no mistake, you have to cinch it down VERY tight or these things will come flying off. I was worried at first that it might be uncomfortable for my dog, but he seems ok with it. Overall, the construction is not that impressive, but it's adequate for the minimal amount of time that my dog wears them. I think if I was taking him on a serious trek...these would probably fall apart. I expected that my dog would hate them, and he does. Walking was a major challenge at first. But it was great for laughs and I nearly peed my pants as he "swam" towards the door the first time. After a few tries, he got used to it. And since we only use them on the most wet and muddy days, I think he'll be just fine. Plus I spoil him rotten with treats and cuddles. So it's a fair trade.
