What kind of dog shoes should I buy for my puppy?
Alice C asked:
I currently live in Las Vegas and I’m going home to Alaska for the holidays. I’m going to bring my puppy with me. He’ll be 8 months then. Where and what kind of shoes and clothes can I buy him to keep him warm? I don’t want him to get sick because it’ll be a complete change for him.

I also bought one of those sherpa dog carriers because he will be traveling with me in the cabin of the aircraft so what other things can I do to make him more comfortable during the flight? Thanks everyone!
my experience with doggie shoes in the snow is that if you dont teach the dog to get used to the shoes when they are little (2-4 mo) they will not know what to do in them….
i have seen it many times where the dog jumps around and chews on their feet…
A fleece jacket might be nice to keep him warm. try amazon.com
If he plays barefoot in the snow just watch for signs of his feet getting to cold (when he is standing, does he hold up one or more paws?)… chances are he will be running around and having so much fun that it wont bother him.
try to bring him in a house or car every hour or two to warm his feet.
dogs are fairly used to hot and cold on their feet… their pads are made for it. Hays
This website has cute and warm clothes! Rebecca
If you live in Vegas, your puppy may not be used to cold weather! My puppy was three months old last winter when we had a brutally cold snap in the midwest - and the thing he hated most was the snow and ice on his feet and getting stuck between his paws when he went for a walk. Plus I was worried about some of the chemicals that they put down on the roads to melt the ice.
So this year I’m seriously thinking about getting him some snow boots - maybe some Muttluks. Amazon has them - and you could also check out the site below. benevolus
