Dog Blue M silicone boots, 5×4 cm are waterproof dog boots (model PH-9010) made of watertight silicone. The flexible silicone fits snugly and keeps out water and mud, the textured sole grips slippery surfaces, and an elastic strap makes them easy to put on and take off. The bright blue colour makes your dog's paws more visible. Size M is 5×4 cm.
Why a dog needs boots
In winter, paw pads suffer from de-icing salt, which eats into the skin and causes cracks, and from sharp ice crust. In summer, hot asphalt can burn them. Boots protect against these hazards and debris, and the paws stay clean after a slushy walk. They're especially useful for dogs with sensitive pads, older dogs and those that have had cracked pads before. More in caring for your dog's paws in autumn and winter.

- Takes getting used to. Your dog will walk awkwardly at first.
How to choose the size
Stand your dog's front paw on a sheet of paper and press down gently, as when it bears weight. Trace the outline and measure the length and width including the claws. Size M has an inner size of 5×4 cm: the boot should be slightly bigger than the print without flapping. Measure the hind paws too — many dogs have smaller hind feet. If in doubt, try one boot on at home first.
Getting your dog used to boots
Put the boots on at home for a minute or two and immediately distract your dog with play or treats. The first steps will look funny, with high-stepping paws — that's normal. Gradually increase the time, then go for short walks. Praise your dog and don't scold it for trying to pull them off. Most dogs adapt within a few days.
Boots and clothing
Boots complement winter clothing well: a jumpsuit protects the body and boots protect the paws. For small and short-coated dogs, the combination makes winter walks comfortable. For choosing clothes, see dog clothes for autumn and winter: how to choose; for a warm option, try the dachshund jumpsuit Dogs Bomba Taksa Sport.
Caring for the boots
After a walk, rinse the boots in warm water to remove salt and dry them at room temperature. Check your dog's paws: if rubbing appears on the pads, shorten wear time or choose a different size. Even with boots, apply protective paw balm or wax from time to time.
If your dog won't wear boots
Some dogs never get used to boots. In that case, apply protective paw wax or balm before walks — it forms a film that reduces contact with salt. Trim the fur between the toes on long-haired dogs, as snowballs and salt cling to it. After walks, always wash the paws in warm water and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.
Who it suits
Owners of small and medium dogs walking city streets with salt and slush, and dogs with sensitive or injured pads. More models are in the dog boots collection and the clothing and accessories section.
Verdict
The Dog Blue M silicone boots are waterproof dog boots with a non-slip sole and elastic strap that protect paws from salt, slush and hot asphalt. The downsides are no insulation, non-breathable silicone and the need for very precise sizing.
