Don't know about warmth....................but it definately protects the pads, and keeps them smooth and soft........prevents dried and caloused paws, thereby eliminating cracks. I have an Akida who likes to walk. Pads were dry and cracked before I started using mushers wax. Helps when walking on salt covered sidewalks.

I don't believe it did anything to keep the paws warm, but it certainly worked well to smooth the paws and keep them from drying out. This was true both thru the winter and the summer.

it will keep the Pauls from drying out will not keep them warm , it's like putting a thick hand lotion on your handswill keep them from cracking but no insulation

I don't think so. I live in NE PA & we've been getting very cold temps lately. My Chihuahua mix was more concerned with the rock salt than the cold. He doesn't seem to mind the cold on his paws as long as he's bundled up with heavy clothing. Lined booties are probably the only thing if your dog needs warmth for his paws.

I would use the same ones I bought, the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. My dog drags his hind paws too which makes the tip of the boots wear down so I bought the shoe goo to help protect them. I hope this helps you out.

These are best in dry conditions though some snow conditions will work. Can soak thru. Especially good at protecting paws from city salt.

Neither of my dogs try to lick it off. One is a lab, the other a labradoodle. It's been so cold here in Maine that we've started using "Hott Doggers- Boots for Dogs." They're great in snow and on salty sidewalks. I strap them on tightly and rarely have a problem. My dogs don't lift their paws like they used to when it is very cold out. Highly recommend.

It will not protect dogs from the cold. The mesh is more like a sun screen. We cover our kennel with a huge tarp from Home Depot or Lowes. Then we zip tie it and/or place bricks around the outside base of the kennel to secure the tarp in place in order to protect our dogs from wind and rain during the winter.

Absolutely not. Dog will have full access to front and probably rear paws, too.

Yes :) It works well in the cold snow/ice/slush. Also works on feet in summer on hot pavement, sand or deck. We put it on our dogs feet in the winter a few times a week. It stays on well and with our Boston Terrier's they didn't like having boots on their paws. Also great at the beach in the hot sand. If they happened to go in the water and back out a few times we would just check to make sure their feet were still covered. In the summer we have the dogs out on our back deck but sometimes it gets to hot for their feet so we put this on them and it really works well. We also bought Snout soother as our Boston's nose gets all bumpy from a leaky nose when he gets allergies and I would recommend that as well if you were ever out looking for something that works well. Mushers is fantastic and I am glad I found it. I hope this helps.

I have an asphalt walkway, my advice is sprinkle it on a small section and see the results. This product is for the safety of the animal paws, if you care about the effects on the paws, this why the product should be used. When walking my Boston Terrier in the street, I had to carry her home as she was limping due to the salt and whatever mixture the town uses that burns her paws.

Hi Judy, so sorry to hear about the sore on your Bouvier's paw. There are several options from Ultra Paws to help. There is the Wound Boot, for just a single injured paw so it can heal and reduce any chewing or licking. For all four paws, the Durable style is the best seller due to the softness and the grippy bottom. If you live in a wet climate, the PawTector boots act as galoshes for full waterproof protection. I hope one of these solutions will help your dog. Thanks for checking with us! Sally, MMP Living

No, they protect the dogs feet against road and sidewalk salt and other chemical substances that they might have to walk on. My dog has wide webbing between his toes so the 3-4 inch would not fit over his toes. I had to give them away.

Yes but you need to make sure you the velcro is securely around the leg. The boot has traction around the top of the boot and sometimes the boot will turn as the dog walks but mine doesn't seem to mind. The dogs have to get used to wearing them so they may not move a lot at first but keep trying they will.

I apply it within 5 minutes of going on a walk. Just make sure that you rub it in well. I apply it for every walk, until it appears that the paws are toughening up, then I reduce the amount that I am applying. In the snow, I apply it every time!

Perhaps, but I wouldn't count on it. My dog is afraid of snow trucks. The coat does make her less anxious but she still is constantly on the lookout for them and she is not above bolting when she thinks one is near. I use the coat as just that, a coat. I like the way it feels and the fact that it feels like I have encased her in a baby blanket. I think it helps but it certainly isn't a cure all.

yes, they stop from slipping on floor but they fit really tight around the dogs paws so I worry with my dog that they are cutting off her circulation. I personally only put them on when I'm taking her out for a walk no longer than 40 mins.

I live in Californisa so that is not an issue here-I use it to prevent slipping-I think boots are the only sure way to protect your pets paws in dangerous temps

They add very little bulk, so they should fit well under tighter shoes. But, as a word of caution and in response to the reviewers who said the socks did not help keep their feet warm, you need to be aware of one of the principals in effect for warmth; you need to isolate a layer of warm air next to your skin. So, if you do not allow enough room around the socks, the warming effect will be greatly minimized.

Yes it does help paws in the heat. I put some on my dog weekly before going out. It's wax, not sure if I would care about expiration date
