VIP Universal Booties, 4 pcs

V.I.P Universal booties protect the dog's paws in demanding conditions: frost, snow, ice. 

The booties are made of durable material also used in work gloves, so they are very wear-resistant for lightweight fabric booties. V.I.P Universal booties are primarily intended for use in snowy conditions. 

Universal booties are seamless and the material is flexible. The booties have a flexible, 25 mm wide hook-and-loop strap tightening that keeps them securely in place. Sold in packs of 4 pieces. Booties are available in four different sizes.

• previously sold under the name: Dragråttan Universal VIP
• seamless construction
• material is flexible but strong fabric
• flexible, 25 mm wide hook-and-loop strap tightening keeps the booties firmly in place
• sold in packs of 4 pieces
• a longer version of the same bootie is also available: V.I.P Universal Long
• primarily intended for use in snowy conditions, durability on bare ground or e.g. sanded surfaces is naturally significantly shorter. For bare ground, there is a separate rubber-coated version of the Universal bootie.
• Durability also depends on the type of activity. In steady running (like sled dogs), booties usually last longer than in activities where the dog makes quick speed and direction changes. Booties are in any case consumable items.
• Primarily, this model works excellently in snowy conditions. However, the material is breathable and porous, so when the snow is very dry and light frost snow, in some rare conditions it may penetrate through the fabric into the inside of the bootie.
• NOTE: If you notice the end of the hook-and-loop fastener becoming fuzzy/frayed during use, it is advisable to cut a new clean cut immediately and seal the end by melting it.

Determining the correct size of booties

Measure your dog's paw circumference at its widest point while the dog is standing (i.e., with weight on the paw). Divide this measurement by two and compare it to the width of the booties. In borderline cases, choose the wider bootie (the dog's paw needs room to expand when stepping). Tip: if you don't have a flexible measuring tape, use a string and a regular ruler to measure the dog's paw circumference.

Update of sizes and color codes 12/2023

The manufacturer has introduced a new intermediate size S between the former XS size (pink) and S/M size (red). At the same time, the color code for XS size changed from pink to white. The old S/M size now corresponds to size M (both with red edges). The new booties are squarer at the tip.

All new booties have a squarer shape at the tip than the previous ones and there may also be a difference in width towards the larger side.

If you want even more durable booties, better grip, and water repellency, check out the rubber-coated booties: V.I.P Max Protect or Non-stop dogwear Protector Booties.
