As a pet care specialist, you know better than anyone how important it is to provide our four-legged friends with the best products. In this article, we shine the spotlight on an indispensable accessory: Rukka dog shoes. Specially designed with the well-being of dogs in mind, these shoes offer the perfect combination of protection, comfort and style for every dog.

Why dog shoes?

Wearing dog shoes can have a number of benefits, depending on the situation and the individual needs of the dog. Here are a few reasons why it can be important to put on dog shoes:

Protection from extreme temperatures: Dog boots can protect dogs' paws from extreme temperatures, both hot and cold surfaces. On hot summer days, they can provide protection from hot asphalt or sand, while in the winter they provide insulation from frozen ground or ice.
Protection from sharp objects: On trails or areas with sharp objects such as rocks, shells or glass, dog boots can protect dogs' paws from cuts, scrapes or splinters.
Enhanced Traction: Dog shoes with non-slip soles can provide extra traction on smooth or slippery surfaces, allowing dogs to walk, run and play safely without slipping.
Chemical Protection: In urban environments, dog boots can provide protection from chemicals such as road salt, which can irritate paws upon contact.
Caring for wounds or sensitive paws: Dog boots can be helpful in caring for wounds on the paws or for dogs with sensitive paws due to allergies or other skin conditions. They provide a protective layer and reduce direct contact with irritants.

When do you need dog shoes?

Situations where it may be useful to wear dog boots include walks on hot summer days, hiking on rough terrain, walks in urban environments with potentially hazardous materials on the ground, and during winter sports activities. It is important to consider the individual needs of the dog and the specific circumstances of each situation when deciding whether wearing dog boots is necessary.

Rukka shoe size

What size dog shoe?

Use a measuring tape to measure the width and length of the dog's paws. Measure the width at the widest part of the paw and the length from the foot to the nail. If this is not possible, draw the outline of the paw on a piece of paper with a pen. Look in the size chart of dog shoes and compare the measured dimensions of the dog's paws with the recommended size in the chart.

In addition to finding the right size based on measurements, it is also important to pay attention to the fit and comfort of the shoes. Make sure that the shoes are not too tight, which can cause discomfort, but also not too loose, which can cause them to slip off during activities. If the dog shoes have a closure, such as Velcro or a zipper, make sure that it is secure but not too tight. This will help keep the shoes in place while you are wearing them.

No matter your dog’s needs or preferences, Rukka has the perfect dog shoes for every situation. As pet store associates, you can advise customers on the best choices for their furry friends, so they can enjoy safe and comfortable adventures together, wherever they go!
