RUFFWEAR Grip Trex™ Boots - set of 2 - Pairs Lichen Green 64mm - S

Whether it's outdoor activities like rock climbing, trail running, winter fun or a city trip in summer temperatures, you'll be perfectly equipped with a breathable, durable dog shoe in your Travelbuddy's luggage.

We always pack a set of dog boots just to be on the safe side, especially if we're planning on exploring a city in the summer. It's easy to forget how much asphalt and even cobblestones heat up in summer temperatures and how uncomfortable it must be for our dogs to walk on them with their sensitive pads.

Interestingly enough, other dog owners always smile at us and the word "dog shoes" sometimes has a negative connotation for most people. But honestly, we don't really care - have you ever seen blisters on pads? No - be glad - it's really not a pretty sight and it takes a long time to heal.

Proper paw protection also makes sense on pebbly beaches, shore areas with sharp-edged rocks, or sea entrances with sea urchins.

And, of course, a shoe like this should always be in your dog's first aid kit, because if he cuts himself on the pads, gets a nasty laceration, or otherwise injures his paw, you can use the shoe to help the wound heal without having to keep applying bandages or plasters.
