VIP Universal LONG Booties, 4 pcs

V.I.P Universal Long booties protect the dog's paws even in demanding conditions: frost, snow, ice. A long model, which is especially popular on sharp crust snow.

V.I.P Universal Long booties are made of durable work glove fabric, so they also work on hard and sharp snow. The Long model is also handy in deeper snow, and it often protects the injury-prone dewclaw.

• Previously sold under the name: Dragråttan Universal VIP Long
• seamless construction
• material is stretchy but strong fabric
• flexible, 25 mm wide hook-and-loop fastener above the wrist and above the knee keeps the booties securely in place
• sold in packs of 4 pieces
• The Long model surely also protects the dewclaw, for example when moving on sharp crust snow.
• A shorter version of the same bootie is also available: V.I.P Universal
• Universal booties are primarily intended for use in snowy conditions; durability on bare ground or, for example, on sanded surfaces is naturally significantly shorter. There is a separate rubber-coated version of the booties for bare ground.
• Durability also depends on the type of exercise. In steady running (such as with 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. The material is, however, 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 hook-and-loop tape fraying or wearing out during use, it's best to cut a new clean edge immediately and seal the end by burning it closed.

Determining the right size for booties

Measure the circumference of your dog's paw at its widest point while the dog is standing (so the paw is bearing weight). 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 paw's circumference.

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