Would these be resistant to occasional visits from my dog? He's a leg lifter.

LOL - I haven't tested this personally, but I would imagine they would be OK.

I've used them indoors on my carpet and they worked fine - even with a fast Lab and a big golden retriever. You could easily duct tape the legs to the ground as well.

I'm not sure. I wondered that myself. But my 3 legged cat has no issues using them.

I used the booties on my Boxer who was losing use of her hind legs . She like having them on on floors as they gave her stability. I did notice that if left on for several days that moisture developed inside. I would suggest removing them for a period of time each day to avoid making your dogs problems worse. I found that they were quite secure on my dog and required a bit of a tug to get on and to get off which I thought was a good thing. Also check your dogs diet. Good luck.

yes if he dos not like them, he will get them off. I think that goes for any dog boots though, at least in my experience. Because i've tried them all.... either my dog is more talented than most or dog boots just aren't made for uncooperative dogs

They go soft quickly. Check out "leg length discrepancy lift" by shoe stuff. Very durable!

I think these boots would work well, as long as you fasten them securely. My dog wore them all winter long (in deep snow too) and we only lost one boot all season. I know it's probably because we didn't get that one on very securely. If you're only using on hind paws, you'll have two extra for backups.

I live in the Pacific NW, so I don't use them in that way - due to possible mildew. But, if they were allowed to dry out in between loads, they might hold up fairly well. They're pretty sturdy. My dog tried to eat one of them and it stood up to the Newfoundland test.

I found them to be super tough. We have a Giant Schnauzer who is very active here on a ranch. He flew through gravel, rocks, mud, snow drifts...used on one injured paw and each bootie lasted for 4 to 5 serious hikes/walks. Love these!

I doubt it but I bought them to keep my dog from slipping on the hardwood floor after surgery. They worked great for that purpose but he didn't really care to wear them.

I would not bet my life on the boots beingSnake proof .The boots are rugged and burly .I would give you a 50/50 chance, ifThe snake hits you above the ankle there is a good chance you will get Fangs in the skin.

We used them on our old dog who had a very weak rear end. They made a huge difference. I think they would work well to keep your dog from slipping. The only drawback to having them on all the time is that do not breath. You may be able to help this by poking holes in the tops, or possibly switching up feet.

I'm a new customer, so this is just my opinion, but they are very similar to a balloon material-wise and shouldn't bother the dog. They may try to chew on them though and I don't think that would be good because the first pair I used started to tear from toenails after the second use...so I would worry that the dog may chew through them and swallow the material. If the dog wouldn't chew the material, they may work great for you.

I suspect it wouldn't be a good idea to leave them on your dog all day every day. But they would defianately protect others from his nails. I would gradually get his nails shorter and shorter. And of course train him not to jump. After 3 Goldens, I found that pretty easy to do.

If you adjust the harness correctly to fit your dog there should be no problem with a leg slipping through. It's a comfortable harness but no dog should have to wear a harness 24 hours a day. Seems like it would damage their fur.

Our dog didnt have a problem slipping in them because of the material they're made out of. Even though it might not look like it, they have pretty good traction. They will turn your dogs feet the color of the boots though. We bought the red ones so it temporarily turned our dog's feet red.

Yes, but my dog wouldn't wear them. She shook them off or just stand there--she's a mini-dashound
