Poor

Would you recommend this product?.: No

Now that we have had a chance to use these I am disappointed. It took a few tries to get the correct size but I had to go bigger than the actual paw size just to have a chance that they would stay on. They seem durable which is what I was going for because on long hikes my dog as burnt holes through other brands, but the velcro strap is not placed high enough that after a few strides off they come. If they only put the strap up higher so it would secure around the smaller part of the dogs leg instead of just at the back of the paw I think they would be perfect.

My canine companion(s): St. Bernard

Excellent

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I purchased these back booties for our hard wood floors as our 182 pound St. Bernard is having a difficult time getting up now that he is getting older. And your company was recommended by a friend. Two complaints: 1) He cannot put them on himself. sigh! Can you send directions a St. Bernard can understand?!?!?! 2) Our family has been rolling on the floor we have been laffing so hard as bootie boy tries to shake them off and then finally high steps around the house when he has them on - of course, an argument could easily be made that this is exercising and keeping his hips young !!! Thank you. PS. The customer service representative I spoke to about size was VERY helpful.................but the XL just fit by a hair!

Nice quality

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Not an option for dogs with Degenerative Myelopathy as it lessens their already poor sense of feeling/proprioception since they can not feel the ground with thier paws. Would have been great to protect further wearing of nails if our beloved dog could have walked in the booties.

Very very good

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My 16-yr-old rubbed his rear footpad raw from constant dragging. The Skyliner boot is the best on the market for paw protection, in my estimation. I love the hard rubber sole in particular. The only thing was the velcro strap hit by his dew claw. I removed the strap and re-attached it to the ribbing where it met the boot. Works like a charm now. Judging from the other reviews, this boot seems to work for older dogs with paw issues. The paws of dogs become more splayed with age, so I'd like to see a boot that not only was fitted for width but also for length. I would gladly pay more for a "custom" boot.

Great!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

We bought one boot for our dog's paw. He has a sore spot on his pad that needed to be protected so it could heal. The boot has worked perfectly. The trick is pulling it up as far as possible and wrapping the velcro strap around tightly. It never falls off and doesn't interfere with his walking. His paw pad is able to heal and he is able to continue to go on long walks.

Absolutely Amazed

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I can't say enough. Awesome on laminate and tile, great for hind leg weakness or dragging paws that cause nails to wear down to nothing. Cures bleeding paw pads caused by long walks on asphalt too but wore out quickly. Ordering Grip Trex this time for outdoors. 11 year old is a new dog. Would like to see USPS for shipping though. Would be cheaper and faster than Fed Ex.

good

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My lab has an injury on the bottom of his foot, and this boot has worked well to protect his foot. Good for between the vet-wrapped paw and bare paw. I prefer the grip-tex boot, but these are still great.

Pretty good

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I like how these boots have the snug elastic that come up a bit higher than the boot. However, they do run a bit big so I would suggest ordering a size down perhaps. Otherwise, we use these primarily as indoor boots or when our grip-tex boots are in the wash.

Worth the money

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

With my dog originally being from Australia the cold temps and snow have him hopping around this winter. These boots fit perfectly and he rips around like he's chasing a rabbit. The only issue I have with purchasing the single boot is there is no option for USPS, therefore the shipping is about as expensive as one boot.

My canine companion(s): 70 lb big black dog

GREAT

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

We have a huge black dog that kind of looks like a cross b/w a german shepherd and a black lab. We fostered him b/c he had a completely severed right leg. The leg healed and we kept him but his walk changed slightly and when we would take him on long walks his nails would grind down and bleed a lot. Our hikes involved beach. waves, sand, water, rocks and these booties always stay on and they don't seem to bother him at all. This is a great product.

They fit my dogs feet

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

The only think I found out about these boots are that my dog chewed one strap, that is why I ordered one boot. Also he can take off his own boots by undoing the valco straps, then he pulls them off.

Great

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My little Dachshund loves being outside but hates the rain. Thought these boots would be a perfect solution. The fit was amazing, especially considering how little his feet are. However, after several tries in the house to get him used to them, it was a total fail - he floundered and just hated the boots on his feet, so we returned but not due to anything other than him not liking them.

Love these shoes!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I also bought the Grip Trex which are great too! I mainly used the skyliner indoors on hardwood floor. My boxer girl needed them during her recovery from a spine stoke - she was dragging her back leg. She's doing great now and the shoe was perfect. The skyliner is a little wider so definately more like a bootie. Use socks. And super easy to clean.

great

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Ottie had a stroke about one month ago and had a chronically skinned up top of his hind foot from dragging it on the cement and rocks. The boot was great once I realized how tight to put it on and he figured out how to walk in it. His foot is completely healed now and we are back to our morning walks. Thanks!

Well made, too bulky for her needs

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My sheltie drags or breaks over with her front feet, dragging the tops of her toes. The boots, while well made, were too bulky for what I need to protect from the dragging. It made her stumble.

Love it!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Our 10 yr. old dog has "draggy paw syndrome"which made her walks quite difficult. Because of her allergy to grass, we have to stick to the paseos & sidewalks which wore her nails down & caused bleeding. The Skyliner boot is fantastic and has protected her foot very well. She doesn't mind wearing it at all. We are both happy & back to taking our regular walks again!

Good for injuries & hot pavement!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My Boxer recently had two toes on her back foot removed due to cancer. Once her foot was wrapped, we used this as a cover. Worked great to keep her from licking the bandage and allowed her to go for short walks. Now that she has healed up, the boot protects the exposed tissue that is very sensitive... not to mention the full four keep her from dancing across the desert asphalt.

excellant

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Our dog drags her left right leg, she is recovering from FCE, the boot protects her paw and nails from scraping on the pavement. The boot fits very well and stays on even when she is bunny hopping with her hind legs. I am happy to have found these boots and my dog is also. The traction enables her to keep her footing on our hardwood floors. These boots fit our needs perfectly and I would highly recommend them

My canine companion(s): Great Dane

good

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My Great Dane has to wear shoes on his back feet for all walks. He shuffles his feet and drags them so the shoes are to protect him from having bloody worn down nails and scraped up feet. The shoes fit well. The only problem I have is that they don't last long, but I can't find any shoe that does with the way he drags his feet. He gets holes worn in the bottom really fast. I assume with a dog that walks normally the shoes would last a much longer time. I'm rating the shoes 3 stars just based on how they last for our needs.

Not for greyhounds. Comes right off.

Would you recommend this product?.: No

I can't rate it fairly because greyhounds might be difficult to fit for boots. I can only say that this boot isn't appropriate for greyhound hind legs. It went on easily and velcroed snugly, but came right off.
