How to Put Shoes on Your Dog
- Open the zipper fully to the bottom of the shoe.
- Insert your dog’s paw into the shoe, guiding it as far forward and down as possible.
- Gather any stray fur inside the shoe before closing it.
- Zip up the shoe and fasten the adjustable strap tightly to create a secure, snug fit.
- Once the shoes are on, gently try to pull each one off. If the shoe pulls off easily, remove it and repeat the process, taking care to ensure paw is fully inside and the strap is secured tightly.
- If the shoe can still be pulled off, it means they are too big for your dog. Exchange for the next size down.
A proper fit is essential to ensure shoes stay securely on your dog’s paws during walks, play, and outdoor adventures.
