VIP Universal Booties, 4 pcs

V.I.P Universal booties protect the dog's paws even 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 Velcro 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 Velcro strap tightening keeps the booties excellently 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 booties.
• 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, it can in some rare conditions penetrate through the fabric into the bootie.
• NOTE: If you notice the end of the Velcro strap becoming fuzzy/frayed during use, it's best to cut a new clean cut immediately and burn the end closed.

Determining the correct size of booties

Measure your dog's paw circumference at the 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 tape measure, use a string and a regular ruler to measure the paw circumference.

Size and color code update 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 more square-shaped tip than the previous ones, and there may also be a difference in width towards the larger side.

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