It’s dark out but your pooch is feeling the call of nature and needs his walk. You can easily make nighttime potty breaks safer for your dog by making sure he is dressed in reflective shoes. Give drivers added visibility and keep your dog safer at night.
Why does your dog need reflective boots?
The folks who make running shoes for us look out for our safety by putting reflective strips on the backs, toes, and sides of the shoes. This allows a car’s headlights to reflect off the shoe so the driver can see us as we run along a dark road at night. This makes a lot of sense. It makes just as much sense that dog should also have reflective gear as many dog shoes and boots come with reflective safety strips as well. Yes there really are reflective boots for dogs.
Reflective shoes give added visibility at night
Gives added protection for your dog’s feet from hazards not seen in the dark
Of the big variety of fun and functional dog boots and shoes available for our dogs to wear, some of them do have reflective strips made for nighttime visibility. This includes paw-wear like dog snow boots, and waterproof dog boots so you can not only battle bad weather, but your buddy can be protected from the dark as well. When Zeke or Lady run with you at night, wearing their reflective shoes for dogs, you can be sure that you will both be safe because of that bright shiny blur of feet that drivers will see as they approach you from either direction.
There are several methods you can use to measure your dog's paw and we highlighted the easiest and most accurate method below. Please
keep in mind that you will need to measure the entire part of the paw
that touches the floor - from the back paw pad to the edge of the
toenail. You will also want to be sure your dog's nails are trimmed to
ensure the most comfortable fit. It is best to measure your dog's paws
while your dog is standing so the paw is completely splayed. When your
dog is standing you will get a wider measurement (more accurate) than
when your dog is laying or sitting.
Place your dog's paw on a blank piece of paper and mark the front & back of the paw (include toenail) for length measurement. Measure the distance between the lines. Do the same on the left and right sides of the paw for width measurement. Do not trace the paw.
Size does matter. Incorrectly sized dog boots will not be comfortable or
perform well. We have a very simple 2 step sizing process. *Every
product page on the website has a specific size chart corresponding to
that particular dog shoe.* Most product pages also include a chart your
dog can stand to help you pick the right size. Please set ACTUAL SIZE or
100% setting for your printer. The actual dimensions the paw prints
should measure are listed on the images. It is necessary to measure the
paper to make sure it printed accurately. If your dog’s shoe size falls
in between two different sizes, choose the larger of the two to be sure
the boots aren’t too tight or uncomfortable.
