Coopers new shoes

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

After lots of research and calling local stores I finally got some boots for Cooper. I was undecided between the Muttlucks fleecelined http://www.muttluks.com/product_home.php?cat=2 and the RuffWear Grip Trex http://www.ruffwear.com/dog_boots

I liked the grip trex because they had rubber soles which seamed more durable and would have more grip. However, the regular shoes which got great reviews arent waterproof and the ones for snow had really bad reviews. Nowhere near me sells them so I would be guessing on size and comfort

I like the Muttlucks because they come in pink! Cooper, being chocolate, looks really good in pink! And they are sold pretty much everywhere so they must be good right? They also have great reviews.

I went into DHs work (a pet store). They sell the cheap version of muttlucks - Hotdoggers so we tried some on for size and comfort. Unfortunately they are a franchise and order from a warehouse so couldnt order what I wanted. Not like the pet store we used to work at in another city.

I called round other stores in the city to see if anyone had them. One store said they had mutlucks but when i asked if they had the regular or fleece lined they girl said Id have to go in and look. Errr, no thanks! I found 1 store in town that had the ones I wanted

They retail for $53.90 (plus tax and shipping I assume) on the muttlucks website, I got them for $46.99 plus tax = $53.10! So I was happy.

It took me a while to put them on her - they are a tight fit, but it means they wont fall off. She galloped like a horse for a while, but I took her and the inlaws dog out for a play in the snow and she was just fine! They all stayed on!

Its only day 1 but so far im happy with my purchase. i may order the regular grip trex for summer

Not the best photo - shes part way through a brushing with our new Les Poochs brush but it shows her pretty shoes

I also bought some pretty pink fleece to make a sweater/liner for her rain coat as her fleece lined coat is too small. Photos to come!

Looks great! I have been thinking about the grip trex as well for summer or when there is no snow. We have a trail behind our house that's full of either stickers in the fall or prickly grass seeds. Or maybe I'll get the non-fleese muttlucks. Don't know yet. Cooper looks great in pink.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

They are nice and girly and look good on Cooper with her chocolate coat.  I bought Muttlucks for Haley a year ago when we were having snow and haven't had any since.  Real good buy!

Cooper looks great in her new shoes. JD says "Hey Cooper, wouldn't we make a great couple?

He also sounds like a galloping horse when he runs in them, lol!

 

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

Hey JD, Cooper thinks you look super cute in yellow!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Yellow would not have been my first choice, but the all season Muttluks don't come in all the colors like the fleece ones do. :(

JD says thank you!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

LOL, galloping horse! That's it! I don't know if it's the snow or the boots, but every time Monty has them on, he wants to run.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

He does look like he's waiting for the "GO" signal! Very cute!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Handsome boy!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

They would surely be a FABULOUS couple!

[Donna K & Quincy]

We use Muttluks and the only complaint I have is that the velcro tends to come undone in the deep snow, so I bought some duct tape in black and tape over the velcro and it works like a charm. Just in case you ever need it, duct tape comes in pink as well. ">) I love the pink boots!

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

Good idea, thanks Donna

A couple of good looking doodles in good looking boots. So darn cute.
