How do I keep my dogs paws safe in the winter?
I have a very small dog - she's 1/2 toy chihuahua and 1/2 Boston Terrier. We recently got about 4 inches of snow, and my dog (Lola) likes to play in the snow. She goes in and out through a doggie door all day long with our 4 other dogs. Since she's so small she gets cold easily, so I bought her a little jacket. She doesn't mind it, but we also bought her some paw protecters. They're somewhat stiff and go up past her joint. I don't think they're very comfortable for her to walk in.
Yesterday and Today she's been favoring one of her paws, but only after she comes in from the snow.
I'm wondering if that paw is extra sensitive, or if she maybe got a little cut from some ice or something.
the point is, how should i protect her paws from the cold and the ice? She doesn't appreciate most clothes, so the doggie boots would have to stay on well. I also want her to be able to move comfortably in them.
thankyou!
