{"product_id":"fleece-lined-winter-dog-boots-set-of-4","title":"Fleece-Lined Winter Dog Boots — Set of 4","description":"\u003cp\u003eA set of four soft-sided booties with a cream sherpa cuff, a single velcro strap across the front, and a black rubber sole moulded with a raised grid for grip. They're built for \u003cstrong\u003ecold, dry ground\u003c\/strong\u003e — winter pavement, gritted paths, frozen grass — and for dogs who lift one paw, then another, and decide the walk is over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sole is the useful part\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is textured rubber rather than smooth plastic, which is what makes the difference on a frozen path — and on tile and laminate indoors. It wraps slightly up over the toe, so the first thing to scuff isn't the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarm rather than waterproof\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper is a brushed suede-look fabric lined with sherpa fleece. That lining is what makes them warm, and it means they handle a dusting of snow or a damp path comfortably — but for deep puddles or an hour of steady rain, a sealed rubber boot is the right tool. On a cold dry walk, these are a great deal more comfortable than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho they suit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall and toy breeds who feel the cold through their paws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGritted and salted winter pavements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder dogs losing confidence on slippery floors indoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrisk cold-weather walks rather than wet-weather hikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the size right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are cut for \u003cstrong\u003esmall and toy breeds\u003c\/strong\u003e, and boot sizing across the pet trade is famously inconsistent — so measure rather than guess. Stand your dog on a sheet of paper, mark either side of the widest part of a front paw, and measure between the marks. Order on paw \u003cem\u003ewidth\u003c\/em\u003e, not your dog's weight, and size up if you land between two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKeeping them on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFasten the strap firmly just above the ankle joint rather than on it. Most boots that go missing mid-walk were left loose because the fit looked tight — snug at the strap is right, and a few minutes indoors gets most dogs walking normally in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe clean or hand wash, then air dry away from a radiator. Skip the tumble dryer; the sole and the fabric don't shrink at the same rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one ships direct from our overseas supplier, so plan on \u003cstrong\u003e2 to 3 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e to reach you. Tracking is issued at dispatch but often sits quiet for the first week or so before it starts updating — that's normal for this route and not a sign anything has gone wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'd rather set that expectation here than surprise you after checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nestled Paws ","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":54620477948214,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":54620479127862,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":54620479160630,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54620479193398,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/9156\/8182\/files\/np_dog_boots.png?v=1790082785","url":"https:\/\/nestledpaws.us\/products\/fleece-lined-winter-dog-boots-set-of-4","provider":"Nestled Paws ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
