Soon he'll associate the boots with fun.

These are great kicks for your canine companion. I just ordered a 2nd pair, but not because we like them as much as we do. I have a Golden Retriever. We measured his paws to make sure we ordered the right size as directed. We ordered him a Medium. The front shoes are perfect but since his back paws are slightly smaller (in width) the shoes have a tendency to do a 180 while he's running. This means the fabric part is on bottom, not good. So I just ordered a pair of Smalls and we plan to keep putting the Med. on front but Small in back...and now we'll have "mismatched" 2 pairs. Ideally they would sell these things in pairs. In spite of the slightly loose fit on the hind paws, he has yet to have a shoe fall off on any of our adventures.

I purchased these boots for my 12 year old shepherd. They are well made. Nice gripper bottoms as to keep legs from slipping out from beneath the dog. We also use these in our Pet Lodge for clients that have older dogs... if your dog is part of your family, buy him the shoes. He will thank you!

I have a Border Collie that goes all out for everything. She tends to wear down her paws on rocks and sometimes cement. When her paws are sore or if I take her mountain biking these are great! I only use them on the front paws. She has actually worn the tread off them and we need to get a new pair. Totally worth the money.

Great shoes for any dogs needing protection and traction outdoors. We always used them while camping and dogs feet stay clean and safe from any foreign debris. Stays on pretty well,front fabric wears off but new style better stitched. Tried other brands, but found these the most durable and secure. Thanks Zappos for having them!

So far they work really well. My active Husky has not been able to get them off. They are perfect for protecting his feet from hot pavement.

About Ruffwear
While trying to give her dog Moqui a drink, Liz emptied half of her water bottle into a plastic bag and held it while the Rhodesian Ridgeback took a few slurps. Moqui then walked away panting, and Liz was left holding the bag—she couldn't set it down without losing the water and she didn't want to dump what was left back into her water bottle. "You need to do something about this," Liz said, challenging Patrick to develop a solution.
Patrick Kruse was the right person to ask. As a kid he constructed packs for his dog out of army surplus gas mask bags, using them on backpack trips in Northern California's Trinity Alps. As a young adult, he sailed for several years as crew on charter boats in the Caribbean and Central America where being resourceful was a necessity. Patrick's interest in kayaking lead him to start Salamander Paddle Gear acquainting him with numerous technical fabrics. With this unique mix of knowledge and experience Patrick developed The Quencher™, the original collapsible food and water bowl for dogs—and the solution to Liz and Moqui's drinking problem.
In 1994, after 16 months of research and development and product testing, Ruff Wear made its enthusiastically welcomed debut at an Outdoor Retailer trade show with The Quencher™. Since, it has won praise from thirsty dogs and been in a range of publications. "They were impressed with the simplicity, quality and function of The Quencher™ and wanted to see what other solutions we could come up with," Patrick says.
Ruff Wear now offers a full line of innovative performance dog gear. In addition to collapsible bowls, the company produces a full line of dog-related equipment designed to enhance the interaction between humans and dogs. A brief listing of gear includes dog packs, dog boots, dog harnesses, dog coats, and dog life jackets.
"We want to enhance the experience of all dogs and their two legged companions," Patrick says. Besides those who are active with their pets, trainers, working dogs, Search and Rescue teams, Canine Companions and Guide Dog Users all have become Ruff Wear supporters and each present specific challenges in product development. "My needs pale in comparison to those who depend on their dogs for assistance," he says. "The specific tasks and companionship dogs provide is really incredible. It puts a smile on my face when people appreciate the simple design approach that we build into our gear to address complex tasks."
"We’ve always been oriented toward products that will enhance and assist the interaction between dogs and humans. And that has always been and will continue to be our motivation."

Great boots, good quality material, well made, much more durable than the average half price ones. I ordered them because I needed them and planned to use them, so I wanted good ones. I'm happy with my purchase. However, when the dog is actually wearing them, there is extra fabric that bunches on top of the paw, as it is bent at the ankle/wrist when the dog is standing, so I wonder if the design couldn't be a bit better, with a slight bend in the boot, but these are the best boots I've found. My dog is worth it.

These shoes are really nice and my dog got used to them pretty quick too. I bought them for her to wear when it's hot outside and she has to walk on asphalt. Very well made shoes!
Brands I'd also recommend: I would not recommend a different brand. These shoes are the best.

These boots are pretty cute and made of very durable materials, but extremely tough on our dog's dew claws. When we tried fastening them below the dew claw, they fell off, and when we tried strapping them above the dew claw, her claws started bleeding. A smaller size wasn't an option due to the width of her claws. We tried wrapping the dew claws with gauze, and had slightly better success, but really wish these were designed differently. They had the potential to be a great product, was just really disappointed by the design flaw.

We (my dog and I) love our Ruff Wear Bark'n boots. The first pair I ordered was too big and I exchanged them effortlessly with the amazing customer service that Zappos always offers. My dog has sensitivity issues with both his back paws, but no problem with the new boots, he's walking and running through rough gravel with no pain. Yeah!

These boots are excellent and have helped my dog's pads heal as well as ease her joint pain (from arthritis) when she walks. Lots of other dog people we run into are interested in getting these for their pets. We purchased our first set a year ago locally. This time the local distributor did not have any and I was thrilled to see Zappos carry them!

Our dog was tearing up her feet on rocks during walks. Found these after destroying some other brands. Very durable and our dog is so cute prancing around. Easy to take on and off and easy to clean. Only problem, one of the hind boots gets turned around and she runs on the mesh part which can rip it up. Be careful that you measure for the right size and secure the boot tightly. Definitely serves the purpose and our dog seems to enjoy them.
