🌧️ WATER RESISANT DOG BOOTS FOR EVERYDAY USE

Ruffwear Dog Boots go the extra mile! And now Ruffwear’s popular Summit Trex Boots are back with improved durability and flexibility. This everyday dog shoe protects paws from slush, ice, salt, and abrasion on walks.

Summit Trex weather-resistant polyester ripstop upper keeps moisture and debris out, while the non-marking outsole provides traction and paw protection. Improvements to the cuff closure mean these boots stay on.

🚩 WE’VE BEEN KITTING AUSSIE DOGS OUT IN BOOTS SINCE 2006

That’s a HECK of a LOT of DOG BOOTS. You might be quite surprised at the demand for dog boots here in Australia. I know you are on this page for a reason but have you ever seen dogs out and about wearing boots? Maybe not. You might think you are the only one needing them. Not. The. Case!

🚩 YOUR DOG MAY REQUIRE BOOTS FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS

• Provide traction for dogs who slip or can’t stand
• Help for dogs with arthritis
• Protect paws on hot pavement and rough terrain
• Protect paws from grass seeds and bindis
• Protect wounds while healing
• Protect cracked paws while healing
• Prevent paw contact with allergens
• Protect paws that get dragged
• Protect service and working dogs’ paws

🚩 BUILT ON AN ANATOMICAL MOLD JUST LIKE HUMAN SHOES

Ruffwear revolutionised dog boot design inspired by human shoes.

The Summit Trex Boots upper maintains a consistent size, shape, and fit. The wide gusseted mouth ensures the boots are easy to put on, and a velcro strap makes them easy to secure. These boots provide continued comfort and a great fit.

🚩 HALLELUJAH THESE BOOTS STAY ON! 🙌

Summit Trex Boots have a closure system combining hook-and-loop with hardware, cinching around the narrowest part of the dog’s leg to provide a secure fit. And the answer to the million dollar question is… Yes! Provided you have the right size these boots stay on.

🚩 RUFFWEAR BOOTS ARE SOLD IN PAIRS OF 2 BOOTS

But why? Frequently back paws are smaller than front paws. To ensure a proper fit it’s important to measure one of your dog’s front paws and one back paw. We sell the boots in pairs of 2 to draw attention to this paw size difference and allow for the best fit for all four paws. Not all dogs have front paws which are larger but it’s vital to check this before ordering 4 boots of the same size. Never assume paw size is based on your dog’s overall size…make sure to measure using the easy directions below.

🚩 NOW LET’S GET THE SIZING SPOT ON 🎯

Ruffwear bases their size chart solely on the paw width measurement. I have been selling these boots long enough to know that sometimes a couple of other measurements can really come in handy. I am more than happy to exchange your boots (or refund) provided the boots are still in new condition. But to make things easiest for you it’s best we nail the size the first time.

1. Stand your dog on a sheet of paper. With your dog bearing weight on a all four paws trace to either side of one front paw and then one back paw.
2. Do each paw 3 times. Dogs are wiggly. That’s a wonderful thing about them… except when measuring paws!
3. Measure (in mm) the distance between the traced lines for the front paws and then for the back paws. Get your final width measurement for a front paw and a back paw by taking an average of your front paw widths and your back paw widths.
4. Use the Paw Width (mm) row on the chart below to determine what size boots the front & back paws require. Do NOT add any extra padding for – anything including liners. That is ALL figured in.

Size	Paw Width	Max Paw Circumference	Length of Boot
1.5	38-43 mm	13.5	9 cm
1.75	44-50 mm	14.5	10 cm
2.0	51-56 mm	15	11.5 cm
2.25	57-63 mm	16	12.5 cm
2.5	64-69 mm	17.5	13 cm
2.75	70-75 mm	18	13.5 cm
3.0	76-82 mm	21.5	13.5 cm
3.25	83-90 mm	23	14.5 cm

🚩 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 JUST THE PAW WIDTH IS NEEDED 👍

But as we want to get you the RIGHT size the FIRST time I’m going to give you a couple other measurements that you may find useful if your dog has particularly chunky paws or particularly long paws.

• For dogs with chunky paws:
  If your dog has quite chunky paws (appear almost square in shape … Labs, Great Danes, etc) I recommend doing a paw circumference measurement. Just wrap a measuring tape around your dog’s paw from top to bottom to top (see picture above) and determine the size boot mouth your dog’s paw will require to enter. Do the measurement a few times and average. Wiggle factor, remember? Check your final measurement with the Max Paw Circumference that I’ve provided. If you run into a challenge just ring 0425 365 643 and I’ll help you figure it out.

• For dogs with long paws:
  If your dog has particularly long paws (Whippets, Greyhounds and other long pawed beauties) I recommend doing a paw length measurement. For this one measure the length of your dog’s paw. Remember to measure more than once and average. Check it with the Boot Length Measurement that I’ve provided. If you have questions just give me a ring on 0425 365 643 and I’ll be happy to help.

🚩 TRY YOUR BOOTS ON BEFORE GOING OUTSIDE 🌳

💬 I’m Zoe and this is Chewie. Your dog’s comfort and your happiness are our top priorities. We are more than happy to refund or exchange any items as long as they have not been worn outside and are still in NEW condition. No questions asked!

For best results pop the boots onto your dog and launch right into an activity your dog loves indoors. Reward your dog for good work done and do not be surprised to see your dog walking as if moonwalking. Most dogs adjust to boots in no time. Many become very aware at how helpful the boots can be for their issues and will be very happy to put them on. You might want to have your video camera out for the initial trials as it can be quite entertaining to watch.

🚩 DOES YOUR DOG NEED BOOT SOCK TOO? 🧦

Ruffwear Bark’n Boot Socks add a lot of value at little expense. Putting the liners on your dog is a snap. And once you have the liners on slipping the paws into the boots is much easier. All the digits of the paw are confined nicely and it’s smooth sailing. They also provide comfort for your dog by wicking away moisture from the paw. Your dog sweats from the paw. It’s one of the only places a dog perspires. The Boot Socks will reduce friction on the paws. You know the feeling when your sockless foot rubs on the inside of a shoe. Better to avoid.

🚩 TOSS THEM IN THE WASHING MACHINE TO CLEAN 🫧

Both the socks & boots can be thrown into the washing machine and will dry pretty quickly so you should be fine with one set of each.

• Secure fasteners
• Wash in cold water
• Gentle cycle
• Mild detergent
• Air dry
