My dog is a Standard Poodle who weighs between 75-80 pounds. I got him a size 8 and they fit perfectly. It took him about 10 minutes or so to get used to them but afterwards he didn’t have any problems. At first the back shoe kept twisting but I figured out that you have to make sure the straps are tight enough but not too tight. Make sure to also get the shoes over the dew claw or they’ll rub against it and cause them to become sore and raw. Poodles have so much hair that stickers attach easily and then mat up in between the bottom of the paws. These have saved my dogs paws since he would bite and chew attempting to remove the stickers causing sores and redness. I know longer have to spend time trying to pull them out after every walk.As for the sturdiness, my dog has worn them for about 6 weeks and walks an average of 5 days a week, hello she said she loves you, so what’s up yeah I was typing a review on Amazon for the little shoes I put on my dog for their walk Rocky has to because he’s got so much hair then when we go around the wash he gets those little stickers that they were getting up in the cracks of the pause, and then I had to go up in there and pull them out because he would chew on them and make sores in his paws so they work well so what are you up to? Oh yeah I just started back huh? Well let me know. Let me know if you need help with that. He just got it. No just like go tonight. Find out all what she’s going to need and let me know an amount that you think will cover it all OK yeah I Niko it goes into your bank instantly so that’s what I say is she asked for it that’s hard though when you get on her classes because it in high school they’re tough huh in what oh that’s that’s gonna be really tough. Tell her she’s really gonna have to study for it because the last thing you wanna do is take an honors class and then get a low grade is they just can’t keep up yes hopefully she’ll be OK in it to tell you Art are all the kids started last week for ours. I know it’s like it used to yes and that’s the way it should be because it’s so hot why are you making kids go to school and be there when it’s 100° oh geez she’s she’s got a full schedule that’s what I did because I went to the cosmetology during the summer I guess the extra units in Bakersfield needed 20 less units to graduate so I took out a year early all right. Well, considering that considering I was like five months pregnant I needed to get out I was married though no kidding I was just stupid almost 17. Yes and I had you before just before I turn 18 so that’s correct I well that’s like Taryn‘s mom is 64 or five whatever you know and I haven’t even turned 60 yet so most of them are about five years or so older just was a couple years ahead of my time smart people wait till after they’re 21 I don’t know I had to have two kids by 28. I’m glad I’m just smart enough to stop at two couldn’t imagine like having four kids or whatever Ken can’t afford to yeah when I see people having four and five kids I’m like what are you thinking since like you never know so, so how’s Tim‘s arm or wrist? Are they still talking surgery or they think he’s gonna be able to heal and you’re probably already passed your date of C I am I have a my Google calendar and I put it in as soon as I get done with the appointment. Otherwise I won’t remember. Yeah exactly like I have to put all my appointments. It’s like anywhere I have to go. I got a put it in now. I’ll grab all grandma‘s appointments because I try not to double book either so you just never know I’m just getting home or‘s always crap in the car you well you got the humidity but what’s the actual temperature? Yeah we’ve been having around 100 102 so but we had a couple days of humidity and I thought I was gonna die it’s like you just sweat we go in and we walk in the morning and I’m like I’m sweating don’t like that I don’t know I don’t wanna sweat around my bra on my waist band nose. Yeah the little bit like if I go to try to do the water in the back or anything as yeah that same thing I get drenched quick, so I can’t imagine if I have the humidity like you yeah that is that sucks so I feel for you because I don’t I look at him like our our exterminator that comes and sprays our house and he’s you know got gloves on long sleeves and has to wear a mask and he’s spraying everywhere and he’s out and that you know he do that all day I die or manual labor the gardeners are out there. Oh I did it one day where I wanted to get done and I cut stuff and I was trying to kind of get shaded by my bushes but I stayed out there too long and I got that severe cramps at night and stuff because I guess I just heat exhaustion and probably dehydrated so it’s like nope we can’t do that anymore. I guess I’m getting old not that I was ever good when I was young. Who’s hiding yet? No cap yeah I say cats do a bit. Yeah the dogs I mean they don’t. There’s nothing they can do but you think he go on the floor not the bed or watch her bladder because she could have a bladder infection to better watch her. You don’t need a big old vet bill and that’s possible I meant to I thought I did so you want me to let you go since you’re home OK already love you bye 2 1/2 miles at a time. The back shoe has already cracked but I walk my dog around a wash and on gravel which is hard on any shoes. And it doesn’t help when you have a very excitable and hyper dog. I bought a 2nd pair and will just replace one as needed.I would definitely recommend these for anyone that wants to protect their dog’s paws from heat, cold, and rough terrain.
