Shoes/socks for yorkies

[yorkiepuppie]

so i just realized that i am really gross, because i don't wipe milu's feet after walking her, and then i let her sleep in my bed...and let her put her paw in my mouth...(i have to, she is too cute!)

so i was wondering if i can just buy her socks to wear when we go out? does your baby wear socks or shoes?

i know my friends will make fun of me, and i know other dogs will laugh at milu, but i don't care, i don't want her to have dirty feet!

I've never used them, but I know they make doggie booties. I have seen them at Petsmart.

I just keep a hand towel hung on the back door and when Triss comes in I pick her up and wipe off her feet.

I let my girls sleep on bed when they start whining at night. not all the time, but once in a while.but I do dress them up all the time when they go out especially in the winter. most people think they are very cute. but once in a while, there is that weirdo who would make fun of them.

it takes some getting use to for dogs to wear shoes (i think socks will wore out in no time), start by leaving the shoes on for a little while at a time, and also praise your baby when she/he is walking with it.

you can find some in just about any pet store/boutique.

ps:whenever I take them to the dog park, I always put shoes on them for sanitary reasons

we have shoes...she dont wear them all the time tho...she only wears hers when there is snow and ice on the ground...she refused to go out to do her business unless her feet are protected!!

This is an older picture but this is when we first got the shoes.

I've never been able to get a dog to wear boots but I did see socks at PetSmart for $9.99.

Those are the cutest pictures...I don't think mine would ever wear shoes...it would be entertaining though...I'm sure!

Duke does not like to wear clothes much so I don't even know how he'll be with shoes but I do use baby wipes and wipe his feet and genital areas after every walk.

thank you for posting the picture. but wow, those shoes look like they are really hard to get on and off i mean, do you have to tie the shoelace each time you put it on? (because i know yorkies can't be trained to tie their own shoe lace )

The shoes do tie but that is all for looks....they zip up the back side!

thanks. I got Dolly's shoes at a local pet boutique in central Florida (forgot the name of it). the socks are part of the shoes, they are attached together!

Finnigan wears his booties only in the snow, but I'm so glad they make them b/c he won't go outside w/o them in snow/ice!

I know Target in Colorado carries the right size of shoes for Yorkies. I am not sure about your local Target though.
