There's nothing better than Grip Trex for our dogs (and yes, they still have their dewclaws). We've tried other brands of boots—the infamous "crocs," rain boots, and fancier sneakers—but if you want a dependable boot that can stand up to daily use, rough housing, or dirty adventures, this is a solid choice! I only wish there was a wider variety of color choices like other brands for those of us who like to color match on outings.
