For those of you who keep your dog's hair short and have no time to put boots on the hyper-love, you may want to consider Paws rubber booties. They are quite literally balloons. They slip on easily, and can be worn multiple times as they are disposable. They're actually the #1 selling dog boot for winter because dogs walk easily in them because they can feel the ground beneath them. However, they are made of rubber and they may be somewhat difficult if you have a very long haired dog. Rubber and wet hair don't go too well together!
