Dog booties for icy conditions

[7mmfan]

Does anyone have any recommendations for booties for dogs during icy frozen conditions? Hunting the last couple days was super rough on my dogs paws/legs, especially Friday after the freezing rain the night before. I tried wrapping them with athletic tape before we went out but that didn't last long. She's really bumming right now with paws neosporin'ed and wrapped in ace bandages to keep her from licking it all off.

A couple different options

Get a bunch of these. Put a small amount of vetwrap around the wrist and then tape them on with cloth athletic tape.

I had the same problem in the Yakima area last week.  That crusty snow really tore my dogs feet up.  Had to shut one down after a day and a half.

Found these on a quick search, but $90 seems like highway robbery. Was thinking about something in the middle and wrapping up the wrist like you talked about.

We got 2 days and didn't hunt the 3rd I planned on, but should have probably cut it short on the 2nd day, or at least waited until it warmed up a little and softened those south facing hills.

On another note, the roosters were very jumpy and few and far between.  Also saw nine yotes in three days hunting.  Never seen so many before..

A few guys I hunt with used to run those types of booties. Just about everyone has converted to the cheaper booties I posted.

We were a little further east, found plenty of birds, but yes, extremely jumpy. Only took a handful of shots despite the number of birds that we saw. Also saw a ton of coyotes. Time for some predator hunting.

I will take a look at them. $5 is appealing.

My dogs can't stand the booties. I wrap thier feet with vet wrap and bring it up about 4-6" up their leg. I try to leave two nails exposed so they can grab some traction. ill put a gauze square under the pad for some extra cushion if I'm feeling frisky. Just don't go to tight around the paw.

I've heard Lewis Boots are the best.  Some guys swear by inner tube boots as well

I saw the inner tube boots video earlier, that's interesting. I can see the tape working, I probably just wasn't thorough enough when I tried it initially.

This shows how to make them and put them on and take them off.
