Hey Miminko pet parents!

We all love those walks with our pups, exploring the sights and sounds of our bustling cities. But have you ever thought about what those paws are going through on those hot sidewalks or gritty streets? Just like us, our furry friends need protection too!

That's where dog shoes come in. They're not just a fashion statement; they're essential gear for any city-dwelling dog.

Why Your City Dog Needs Shoes:

Hot Pavement: Those summer sidewalks can get scorching hot, potentially burning your pup's paw pads. Dog shoes provide a barrier against those extreme temperatures.

Sharp Objects: Broken glass, metal debris, or even thorny weeds can lurk on city streets. Shoes protect your dog's paws from cuts and punctures.

Chemicals: De-icing salts in winter or pesticides used in parks can irritate your dog's paws. Shoes offer a protective layer against these chemicals.

Traction: Slippery sidewalks or wet streets can be hazardous for dogs. Shoes with good grip improve traction, preventing slips and falls.

How to Choose the Right Shoes for Your Dog:

Size:  Make sure the shoes fit snugly but comfortably. Your dog should be able to walk without the shoes slipping off or rubbing their paws.

Material:  Look for breathable materials for summer and waterproof materials for winter. Consider booties with flexible soles for better movement.

Closure:  Choose shoes with secure closures like Velcro or buckles to prevent them from coming off easily.

Style:  While functionality is key, you can still have fun with style! Pick a color or design that matches your pup's personality.

Tips for Introducing Shoes to Your Dog:

Some dogs take to shoes immediately, while others need time to adjust. Be patient and use positive reinforcement like treats and praise to help your pup get used to their new footwear. Start with short walks indoors and gradually increase the time and distance as they get more comfortable.
