Embodiment Construction

[0022] Based on the foregoing, improved boots for dogs have been developed. Certain optional embodiments described herein improve paw protection and make it more comfortable. For example, guide dogs and other service dogs often endure long periods of time on hot, sun-exposed sidewalk surfaces. This can cause the dog's footpads to burn, crack and / or become infected. A dog's footpad can be protected from these effects using certain boot embodiments described herein.

[0023] Certain embodiments of the dog boots described herein may also optionally provide protection for the dog from substances such as thorns, burrs, stinging insects, and salt used to maintain roads in cold weather s damage. This injury is particularly nasty to dogs that stay indoors for long periods of time because such dogs cannot develop the tougher paw pads that dogs that spend long periods of time outdoors have. Plus, the benefits of dog boots don't stop at providing comfort and protection in adverse env...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to canine footwear, and more particularly to a canine boot having improved features such as comfort, durability, and aesthetics. Background technique [0002] Canine boots have been developed to alleviate the discomfort of dogs standing, walking or running on certain surfaces such as hot roads, snowy or rough surfaces. Additionally, it should be appreciated that the benefits of dog boots are not limited to the dog wearing the boot. In particular, dog boots can provide a decorative utility sensuously to help bring a satisfying anthropomorphic kinship to the dog's owner. [0003] Unfortunately, many existing dog boots are not designed to fully accommodate the unique shape and needs of a dog's paws and legs. Additionally, many existing dog boots are not designed to provide sufficient durability and adequate protection of the dog's paws from sharp objects on the ground, such as broken glass.
