do they keep the dogs feet warm in cold weather and snow?

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 don't know about warm as they are rubber. They definately keep the salt out from between their pads though!

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.

I'm not sure about warm, but I think that is the case. Most importantly for us was that our Dog doesn't have any irritation from salt or ice. We've also started to use a little corn starch in each one to help with putting them on.

Not being a dog, it is hard to say for sure...but, imagine wearing latex gloves and making snowballs. There probably will be some protection from the cold but the main protection is from the icy water and snowballs between the toes. They definitely help keep the dogs feet drier and safe from the elements.

My Son, who I bought these for says yes. He works out in the cold, snow, rain and had requested them. So far so good.

No they do not. And anyway I've found that if you're not training a dog from very young to wear boots you likely are never going to get the dog to accept them. I've found that out the expensive way.

I use them in snow, but fastener isn't good. I use vet wrap on top to help hold them on. These are my dogs favorite boots. Very comfortable and easy to care for. Just drop them in the wash. Sometimes we lose one in the snow/woods, but they are so cheap, it's not that big a deal. When you lose a boot that costs $20 each, then that's a bummer.

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!

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.

Yes! We wear ours in both warm and cold conditions -- they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

yes, as long as it is not too wet or slushy. feet stay warm and toasty and covered, but NOT water proof.

They are reasonably warm. They do retain moisture if your hands perspire. If you leave them in the car overnight, next morning they will be cold.

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

Okay, these are a bit pricey, but if they keep my dog warm I don't mind. She is a chihuahua/rat terrier mix and has tiny feet. I live in northeastern PA & need to keep her warm. Is the small going to fit her?? I measured and her back foot is almost 2 inches across.

Yes but you need to make sure you the velcro is securely around the leg. The boot has traction around the top of the boot and sometimes the boot will turn as the dog walks but mine doesn't seem to mind. The dogs have to get used to wearing them so they may not move a lot at first but keep trying they will.

I live in San Diego and sick where my feet are cold even the summer. These insoles keep my feet warm with one pair of thin cotton socks and they do not make your feet sweat. They are made in Canada where it gets really cold. If I were you I would buy a couple of pair because I think you will really like them. They do not look like anything special, but they are.

They aren't slippery. They are well-made. I had trouble fitting my elderly dog--her feet are splayed, but she's only medium size & the boots that fit her feet were too large on leg. I had luck with Protex Pawz reusable boots. They are like little balloons that fit on feet. They give protection, traction & are much less expensive. You might check them out.

Yes. I get cold feet, too. These socks keep my feet toasty- and without making them sweaty!

No, they aren't waterproof, but they will repel snowmelt for a while. After walking my dogs, I lay the boots on the edge of the heating register to dry; they dry quickly. One pair usually lasts all winter, but the affordable price of these boots allows me to buy extra pairs. I like them the most for the ease of putting them on, but they are definitely not the boots to buy to walk in slush for any period of time.

Probably not. I use them as a glove liner when dog walking on cold days. They provide just a little a little extra protection.
