How do these boots work with dogs with longer fur? I have a goldendoodle and I'm worried trying to put on these will be difficult with her longer fur

I have a mini poo with relatively long fur as well, and they work perfectly fine on him. Just pinch the ends of the boot so they are not closed flat and slip in the paw, then adjust the Velcro fastener so it is tight (but not too tight) around the paw.

I don't know if this will help, and our dog is not long haired. But, my experience is really that these slide on pretty easily, and the most difficult part is having the double-straps themselves not getting tangled up. If your dog tolerates having booties put on, then I think you should be able to maneuver keeping their hair out of the way of the velcro straps, provided that you have the right size booties. The booties keep their shape well, and honestly these are the best velcro booties we've tried. One more suggestion: On the UltraPaws website, you can purchase these singly, so you just pay $6/$7 for one bootie and try it out... ? I hope this helps!

That depends on how big your dog's paws are. My 12-pound rat terrier/chihuahua's paws are about 1 and 1/4 inch across at the widest point, and the orange works OK over lightweight socks (I ordered Petego socks from Amazon). The orange seems tight when you put them on, but they stay on. We also tried the red, and they were too big. They flopped around (but they might be good for a dog with a lot hair on its paws). We recently discovered Ultra Paws Traction dog boots, and we really like them. They run big. I first ordered petite, and exchanged them for X-petite.

The large booties I bought we're for a medium sized 80# Lab. Which were good. A Bernese, I believe, is a larger dog. An X-large would seem a better fit but it would behoove you to check with the suppliers return policy in case you need to return for a different size. These booties work well in snow, on gravely/aphalt surfaces or paws of dogs with sensitive pads.

my guess would be yes. i have bernese mountain dogs and while they are probably smaller (in terms of weight) than yours, my dogs probably have wider paws. these technically fit their paws, but i don't recommend them. mine wouldn't wear them and i sent them back. they fit a big snug around the "ankle"

I suggest that you go to the PAWZ website. Click on Product Information - Boots - then choose the Size Chart. It's not so much the weight of the dog, but the size of the paws. The size chart should be a big help to you in choosing the correct size. I believe that I mentioned in my product review that I don't keep the PAWZ boots on my dog all the time. She's 17 and I use the boots to help her gain traction on hardwood floors. I actually cut some small slits in the boots because dogs sweat through their feet and I think they can get rather hot. Hope this information helps!

I don't think foxtails would get through the thick rubber on the bottom of this boot. I don't see how the dog could get foxtails between his toes with these boots on. Of course, the boots are short, so foxtails will still stick elsewhere in the dog's fur.

Our dog didnt have a problem slipping in them because of the material they're made out of. Even though it might not look like it, they have pretty good traction. They will turn your dogs feet the color of the boots though. We bought the red ones so it temporarily turned our dog's feet red.

yes if he dos not like them, he will get them off. I think that goes for any dog boots though, at least in my experience. Because i've tried them all.... either my dog is more talented than most or dog boots just aren't made for uncooperative dogs

I would ask your Vet. They may protect from sharp or rough item where she walks, but some of the comments indicated irritation caused by the boots. My dog did not experience any problem with the boots (120 pound German Shepard). I would be careful with the measurements - the ones I purchased I sized for Forrest's front paws (significantly larger than the rear). The straps allowed the rear to hold on OK. Dave

Yes I think they would be too big. I personally haven't found any fabric socks that stay on. I have a pug with petite legs and they just slide off. And I think a Yorkie would have even thinner legs.

I believe this depends on the weight and size of your dog. For example, a dog over say 30lbs would be more comfortable with a wider 1 inch harness so that It does not dig into his fur and cause discomfort. My dog is 55 lbs now and I use the 1 inch harness. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Okay, these are a bit pricey, but if they keep my dog warm I don't mind. She is a chihuahua/rat terrier mix and has tiny feet. I live in northeastern PA & need to keep her warm. Is the small going to fit her?? I measured and her back foot is almost 2 inches across.

I'm only guessing here, but I think they would work. My dog, a Gordon Setter, has very fine hair instead of the rough fur you think of with a big dog. The clippers work well on her . . . . tho man! does it ever get all over the house!! (NOT the clippers fault!!)

Do you mean the product itself or this particular size? I'm asking because Pawz makes these in different sizes to fit various breeds. I purchased this particular size to fit my pomeranian. She is a bit on the large size for a pom at 10lbs, and they fit her beautifully. I love these as they do a great job of keeping her feet dry when we go out on days when the roadways are a bit wet or snowy.

I am afraid I am not going to be much help for you. My dog weighs in at 140 lbs. so the extra large is perfect and if he wants to grow more-there is room. I believe that they are true to size. Hope that helps. They are very secure with the way they attach to your pet.

I have one on a head halter and one who isn't. I have had minimal issues with tangles, and my dogs are different heights, I think with two goldens you shouldn't have any issue at all.

This one should work better. I had the same problem as you. I ordered the small for my mini dacshund and it was to short. So I ordered the long short and the neck width was still perfect but the snout length was much longer and prevented her from getting to her tail & back legs.
