Ruffwear dog boots are sold in pairs of 2 boots (not 4!) ... and for a good reason!

This may at first seem odd, but there's a method behind the madness. It is extremely common for dogs' front paws to be bigger than their back paws... sometimes as much as 2 or 3 sizes bigger. This is why we sell the boots in pairs of 2 so you can get the proper fit for the front paws and the proper fit for the back paws. 

🎯 Let me help you get the RIGHT size the FIRST time!

1. Stand your dog on a sheet of paper. Trace a line either side of one front paw and then one back paw with your dog bearing weight on the paws.
2. Do each paw 3 times. Dogs are wiggly. That's a wonderful thing about them... except when measuring paws!
3. Measure (in mm) the distance between the traced lines for the front paws and then for the back paws. Get your final width measurement for a front and a back paw by taking an average of your front paw widths and your back paw widths.
4. Choose your front & back paw sizing based on width using the chart below. Do NOT add any extra padding for - anything including liners. That is ALL figured in.

9 times out of 10 the paw width alone gets the job done.

But as I want to get you the RIGHT size the FIRST time I'm going to give you a couple other measurements that you may find useful if your dog has particularly chunky paws or particularly long paws.

For dogs with chunky paws

If your dog has quite chunky paws (appear almost square in shape ... Labs, Great Danes, etc) I recommend doing a paw circumference measurement. Just wrap a measuring tape around your dog's paw from top to bottom to top (see picture above) and determine the size boot mouth your dog's paw will require to enter. Do the measurement a few times and average. Wiggle factor... remember? Check that your final measurements are smaller than the Max Paw Circumference for that size. If you run into a challenge just ring 0425 365 643 and I'll help you figure it out.

For dogs with long paws

If your dog has particularly long paws (Whippets, Greyhounds and other long pawed beauties) I recommend doing a paw length measurement. For this one measure the length of your dog's paw. Remember to measure more than once and average. Check it with the Boot Length Measurement that I've provided. If you have questions just give me a ring on 0425 365 643 and I'll be happy to help.

We know dogs are wiggly!

Measuring your mate can be an inexact science. Returns & exchanges are NO WORRIES! We're committed to getting your dog the right size.

Give your new boots a solid go inside before going outside 🌳

I'm Zoe and this is Chewie. Your dog's comfort and your happiness are our top priorities. We are more than happy to refund or exchange any items as long as they have not been worn outside and are still in NEW condition. No questions asked!

For best results pop the boots onto your dog and launch right into an activity your dog loves. Reward your dog for good work done and do not be surprised to see your dog walking as if moonwalking. Most dogs adjust to boots in no time. Many become very aware at how helpful the boots can be for their issues and will be very happy to put them on. You might want to have your video camera out for the initial trials as it can be quite entertaining to watch.

🧦 Are the Boot Liners Necessary?

The Ruffwear Boot Liners add a great deal of value at little expense. It's easy to get the liners on your dog's paws. Once you've got the liners you'll find putting the paws into the boots much easier. With the digits of the paw confined nicely it's smooth sailing. They also wick away moisture from the paw as your dog does sweat from the paw...one of the only places a dog perspires. The liners will reduce friction on the paws too. You know the feeling when your sockless foot rubs on the inside of a shoe. Both the liners & boots can be thrown into the washing machine and will dry pretty quickly so you should be fine with one set of each.
