It’s the holiday season and that means finding the perfect gifts for your furry loved ones. 

Why not give them the gift of shoes? Booties or shoes can be a great way to protect your dog’s paws while also keeping them stylish and fashionable. Here’s why getting your pup some shoes is the PAWfect gift this season. 

The Benefits of Booties/Shoes for Dogs 

Booties or shoes are an excellent way to protect your pup's paws from the cold weather. Shoes can help keep their feet warm and provide extra traction on slippery surfaces like ice or snow.

Shoes can also help protect against exposure to harsh chemicals like deicers used on sidewalks in the winter months.  

Not to mention, they are the perfect accessory to look stylish out on a walk! They come in many styles and colors so you can find one that fits your pet’s personality perfectly! 

How to Get Your Dog Used to Shoes 

Remember to make sure you get one that fits properly. 

To ensure proper fit, measure their paw width and length with a ruler before shopping for booties. Once you have found the perfect pair of shoes, introduce them slowly by allowing them time to sniff the pair of boots before putting them on their feet. They may not take kindly at first but offering treats as rewards will encourage them to become more comfortable with their new footwear sooner than later! 

Lastly, take it slow when it comes to introducing daily walks with their new boots - too much too soon could cause blisters or rubbing around their ankles and toes - so don't forget to break in those shoes before taking them out for a spin!

Whether it's winter or summertime, getting your pup a pair of booties or shoes is always a good idea! Not only do they keep their paws safe from harm but they also look super cute and stylish. When looking for the right pair of boots/shoes make sure you measure their paw width and length before making any purchases; this will ensure proper fit and comfort over long periods of time. Finally, reward positive behavior (like wearing the boots/shoes) with treats - this will help familiarize your pet with their new footwear quickly while also maintaining a positive association between themselves and these items in no time at all! So go ahead and treat your pup this holiday season - surprise them with some stylish booties/shoes – they deserve it!
