Kitty, sometimes I'm a bad girl and don't agree with all school
recommendations. <smile> I wonder what their answer would be if asked
this question specifically. I never have bothered to ask, because I have
sort of made up my mind not to use boots, as I believe if you're careful
and systematic, there isn't a strong need, at least not in my situation.
Again, I know how upsetting it must have been to have Sunstar injured
riding on an escalator. I would think hot weather boots would be more
problematic than cold weather ones, as summer heat would be the concern
I previously mentioned. I do believe GDB is pushing boots more these
days, and I also realize people who live in Phoenix with guide or
assistance dogs have a real problem with hot pavement. Let us know what
you figure out and decide to do.

sheila, I have the same concern. However, I do know that some of the
guide
dog schools do issue boots for protection in extremem cold or heat. Per
my
vet's instructions, I did keep a boot on her bandaged foot whenever she
had
to go outside. Per instructions, I also took it off when inside, so teh
foot could get some air. Right now, am contimplating all options, not
ready
to make a decision yet.

Isn't there some concern about the dog's ability to ventilate or
perspire through booties as there are only so many body parts that help
with this important biological function? I am no expert, but I haven't
put much effort into training my dogs to wear boots as a result of this
worry.

hello, the neo-paws are great!! they have the summer ones that are made
with mesh material and a hard rubber sole. they come in blue or red and
are easy to get on after you get it down. I had some of the winter ones
but gave them away with my Dobe. you need to get the right size and if
you cant see the chart they have just draw an outline of the front and
back feet and send it to them and they will get you the right size. if
you need any other info just ask. Ridge and Buckley SD/Guide

Thank you for the resource. I will check it out in hopes that they
have
included enough of a text description to make it understandable.

Hello list,
This is the second message I had posted about booties, which somehow
didn't appear at my end.
If you're receiving it twice, please forgive me.
Hugs and Wags,
O&P
Hello Kitty and all,
I have found the link where they have dog shoes and booties that
sound interesting.
Here it is.
Can anyone on this list that can see at least a little, and that has
experience with this sort of articles, evaluate this and let me know
if it is worth trying?
Sorry to bother you all...
Thanks in advance, and cheers,
Ollie & Pretty
