Are these boots insulated to protect from snow? My dog stands on snow a lot. And are they waterproof? What size would be good for a mini dachshund?

I ordered these -- small for my yorkie -- they were way too big - I would get an xtra small if you can. They are not waterproof -- they are made of a polar fleece material.

they are not insulated or waterproof...they have a little plastic pad on the bottom that might give some protection from cold but it does not always stay at the bottom of the boot...my dog loves these for walking inside on cold hardwood or tiled floor in the winter, but I don't have him wear them outside.

Hi Emily, I bought these a year ago. They are good for the snow. More water resistant than water proof. They are made of a thick felt like material but the bottoms have a pleather pad. I also have a mini dachshund about 12 lbs and the small was too big. He has really short legs in the front though. I should have gone with an extra small. Hope this helps. :)

They are just fleece. They are not water proof but for snow they are fine. don't the size. measure the paw

These boots are not insulated or waterproof. They are great for short walks on very cold days or nights.

These boots would be fine if your dog is outside for only a short time, because they are not insulated or waterproof. The material is nothing more than a felt like fleece with a paw patch.

If you can manage to keep them on the dog then yes they work well in snow. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to keep them on the dog to benefit from these :(

Dianna, They will keep the dogs' feet dry, but the boots are really nothing more than thick balloons. My dog had surgery on his paw, so these were the best choice for him, just to keep his foot dry and clean. They will keep the snow off their feet, but if you're looking for something more permanent, I'd go with a"real" pair of winter boots for your pup. Hope this info helps.

They are fine for snow, but on ice they have zero grip. Our dog runs fine in the snow and doesn't get cold feet for over twenty minutes, but it's comical on ice due to the smooth surface (the pawz label offers some traction but not enough for more than a few steps). We attempt to avoid it with our dog at all costs, but snow is fine.

Hi, I bought them for a friend's dog, a chihuahua who weighed maybe 10 lbs and they fit this size dog fine. If you do a google search for "dog boot size chart", you will find several sites that will give you more information about the weight and paw size recommendations for the booties. This will help you when you are choosing which booties to purchase. Patti

I don't think so. I live in NE PA & we've been getting very cold temps lately. My Chihuahua mix was more concerned with the rock salt than the cold. He doesn't seem to mind the cold on his paws as long as he's bundled up with heavy clothing. Lined booties are probably the only thing if your dog needs warmth for his paws.

They have a gusset, so they are waterproof to the top. Nice boots, size seems to run a bit small if you use the liners which are great in winter.

They are not all one size, I believe I ordered the XL because I want to wear them over my winter fleece pants and I have large calves. They fit me very well. They are moisture resistant, I've worn them out in snow up to my knees and the portions covered by the gaiters stayed dry.

Probably. Except my dog walks funny in them on hard ground. He's fine in the snow, they are great for that. However, I think this would be really uncomfortable for your dog to just be walking around the house in. He would probably just try to pull them off constantly and would have very little balance. Funny to watch! I'm guessing not so fun for dog.

These keep my dog's feet from getting wet so they are not as cold when he walks in the snow. He used to whine and lift his paws in the snow but doesn't anymore when we use these, so they may help keep dogs' feet warm to an extent.

I got the small because I have a doxie with a long, narrow paw and these actually stayed on because the velcro fastens tightly. The smalls are approx. 2 5/8 inches wide and 3 inches long on the inside of the boot. I have read that you will go through these more quickly on pavement, but I did wear these on days where there wasn't ice/salt, because he did ok on just snow. they have a 'nubby' non skid vinyl bottom, but not super thick by any means.There is a measuring guide for paw length: 1.5" is xxx small; 2.25" is xxsmall; 2.75" is xsmall; 3.25" is small; 2.75" is med: 4.25" is large; 4.75" is x large.

They are water proof to a point if you are going to be standing in water all day i would recommend a rubber boot with a felt liner. For a normal day on the lake they are the ultimate boot, they will keep you warm and dry. this is my second pair of baffins the first pairs lasted me over 15 years!

I would say probably medium depending on how big you dog is. Male or Female?I found another pair of boots that are much warmer, just as easy to put on and have a soft body that holds its shape better. Look for Top Paw booties. They are a little more expensive but worth it if your dog is happy to wear them. The best thing to do in all honesty is to take your dog to the pet store and try some on. FYI- the Muttlucks are a bit of a challenge to put on.

They seem to be well insulated. I, too, have wide feet. As I said, get the size you normally wear if you really want these boots.

These are best in dry conditions though some snow conditions will work. Can soak thru. Especially good at protecting paws from city salt.

They would be great for snow protection. I'd say more water resistant than water proof. ...the bottom is leather which will eventually get wet. But with dry, packed snow and not to be used all day they would be fine.

My German Shephard wears them and they are wide enough for her paws to not be constricted yet they do not flop off her paws either. She wears them in the house to protect our hardwood floors so they also provide her with much needed traction as well. She does have an outdoor pair during the winter to protect her paws from salt too. She has worn them (this particular brand) her entire life. We have tried a couple of other brands but they were not the quality of the Fashion pet, not did they fit as well or last as long. Hope this helps!
