persephone Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 help - there are masses of prickly things around, and the dogs are all sore footed. there are also lots of tiny burrs which adhere to socks/lycra, etc ...and are incredibly painful on legs/skin. this is one called 'cannonball' - gets to be 1cm diameter -- and very hard. It lodges between toes/pads ..and makes life very painful This is "copperburr" boots are for koolie type dogs ....running over sand/rocks/paddocks of prickles ..up to 10 km a day . thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Here is a link for Manmat boots which are used by many mushers, these are probably a good option that are reasonably priced. Ruffwear make some very sturdy types and should be available at quite a few local retailers. http://www.kickscootersydney.com.au/?q=content/manmat-dog-booties-comfort If you wanted to shop offshore there are numerous options available.

VizslaMomma Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 If the local retailers are too expensive for the Ruffwear, some USA sites have them. Even with shipping they can be less costly than a local purchase. Dont forget you can get socks too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowanbree Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The problem is none of these breathe which means the dog can't wear them for long periods. I have been looking for something that is at least semi waterproof (or fast drying, offers cushioning for a sore foot and can be left on for 10hrs. No luck yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 ..at least leather is a help . Unfortunately, boots are most often made for cold/damp conditions All Weather Muttluks provide protection for hot or cold climate conditions. Protects paws from hot pavement, hot sand, burrs, ice, snow or salt. Self-tightening straps provide a secure fit. Reflective straps for nighttime visibility Genuine leather soles for a soft flexible fit. Comfortable adjustable stretchy leg cuff Machine washable.
