Polar Trex™ Winter Dog Boots

It was -26 here in northern WI last night and these Polar trex boots saved my dog’s paws. They are getting easier to put on each time and she seems genuinely happy to have them on while she goes out to do her business. Probably allows her to be out 4x longer than with the boots- she would hop on 3s within 3 minutes without them.

These boots are great for winter walks and running through the snow. They stay on well during activities when properly fitted.

These boots are well made! Quality alone is 5 stars. They work well to keep my dog’s paws dry even when he runs in chest deep snow. Measuring to get the right size matters.

I have a 95-lb American Bully. He has fat paws…so the 3” worked on width, but is about 1” too long . He tripped at first when walking on sidewalk/grass, because his normal gait wasn’t high enough. I was concerned and reached out to Customer Care, who were very helpful. The issue with him tripping seemed to get fixed once he had to work his way through the snow. (The snow made him need to pick his paws up higher.)

Ruffwear recommended the boot sock to help with the boot fit. And, they have—especially with getting the dew claw into the boot smoothly. The socks take some practice to put on (more so than the boots). It took repetition and patience to get him comfortable and accommodating with the process of putting them on. It’s all worth it! Especially to protect him — not just from the elements, but from the ice salt put down to deal with foul weather.

Overall, very happy with the purchase(s) and the customer service. Every inquiry or message has been given prompt attention and detailed replies, with sincere effort to help. He’s a very happy dog and I am a grateful dog-mom. If you live in snowy or icy zones, your pup definitely needs these!

Good morning Ruffwear,

My name is Emily. I am a mini schnoodle and live in Leadville, CO. I use to get big snowballs stuck on my paws and mom would have to stop frequently and get them off . So, mom got me a pair of polar Trex boots and it has been a game changer!! At first they would fall off my paws when we were out, but once again my mom figured it out! She got me the socks but my paws came right out of the socks and boots, so she found some paw covers that have a Velcro strap and that was the secret!!! I go for daily walks and I am out for several hours. I am a very happy puppy !! Thanks Ruffwear. One more thing- I am a girl and would like something in pink- people we meet on our walks always say “he is such a cute puppy”. It is very nice but but I am a girl phppy. Oh, I have Ruffwear coats that keep me soooo warm.

Your friend,

Emily
