VETERINARIAN RECOMMENDED
My name is Dr. Danny Sack. I'm a veterinarian and surgery resident with a specialty training in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. I had the pleasure of testing out a pair of Air Pup shoes for my dog, Mongo, and was incredibly impressed! The shoes are made of top-notch quality, fit perfectly on his paws and provide great protection to his feet when walking. They stay on his feet during normal walks and even when playing in snow. The use of boot liners has the added benefit of making sure there are no pressure points that could cause irritation and ensures a perfect, snug fit to the shoe. They are both breathable and protective. If you are looking for a great shoe to protect your pup's feet, whether you're trekking through the snow or protecting their feet from hazardous trails, I strongly recommend Air Pup shoes.
FAQ
Q. Why should my dog wear shoes?
A. Dog shoes help protect your dog's paws from sharp objects, such as broken glass, and seasonal elements. In the summer, the pavement can reach scorching hot temperatures that can lead to paw burns. In the winter, the salt used to melt ice and snow can cause chemical burns to their pads.
If your dog suffers from allergies, dog shoes are a great way to keep out irritating debris. Additionally, many dog owners like the ease of taking off shoes as opposed to washing their pup's paws before they come inside after each outing.
Q. How do I get my dog to wear shoes?
A. If your dog has never worn shoes before, he or she will walk a bit funny when you first put them on. Some dogs will take to the shoes almost immediately and others will need to be trained over several days. We recommend starting with two shoes on the front paws first and allowing your dog to walk around for a few minutes at a time -- with lots of positive reinforcement and treats! When your dog gets used to the two shoes, add the back ones, and again reinforce with encouragement and treats. You may need to stretch the training out for 10-15 minutes a day over the course of a few days for your dog to be comfortable wearing them. For more information visit ourtips & tricks page.
Q. How do I know which size to order?
A. Please see our sizing page with our size chart for details.
Q. Do you offer split sizes?
A. At this time being a small business in its infancy we do not offer split sizes. We find that most dogs should wear the same size Air Pups on all four paws. We suggest you select your pup's shoe size based on the front paw measurements since the front paws are often slightly larger than the back paws.
Q. Will Air Pups stay on my dogs feet?
A. Air Pups are designed to fit most paw sizes and to stay put! After the initial break-in period, the shoes should not budge with normal use. I walk and run Winston a minimum of 5 miles a day in his Air Pups and I never have to retrace my steps for a lost shoe.
If the shoes are falling off, please double check to make sure you have ordered the correct size. Shoes that are too large will not be as secure as those that are more snug. Additionally, please make sure that your dog's nails are reaching the end of the toe box when securing the straps. If your pup's paws are not in all the way they are likely to fall off.
Q. How long can my dog wear Air Pups?
A. Air Pups are meant to be worn no more than a few hours at a time. While our shoes are designed with a breathable mesh, it is important that your dog's paws get time to air out. For prolonged use, such as using a shoe to cover a paw injury, or for older dogs who need traction on hardwood floors, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian first.
Q. How often do I need to replace my dog's shoes?
A. The lifespan of a set of Air Pups will depend on many factors: how often your dog is wearing the shoes, how many miles he or she is putting in them, and the types of surfaces that your dog is walking on. If you see holes in the bottom tread, it is time for a replacement.
Q. Do dogs like wearing shoes?
A. Like any foreign object put on a dog's body, such as a collar, harness, or coat, your dog will most likely have some type of reaction. With time and a little patience, the act of putting shoes on your dog can become as customary and familiar as putting on their collar or harness. Over time, your pup will make a positive association with his or her Air Pups and going on adventures with you.
