Sizing for Boots and Paws

How do I know what size boots to order?

Our boot sizing is based on paw width which is measured across the widest part of your dog’s paw pads when bearing weight. When in between sizes, choose the smaller size to avoid irritation or boot loss. We recommend measuring ALL paws before deciding on sizes for front and back paws.

I am adding socks, do I need to size up?

Our Bark’n Boot Dog Socks will not add bulk, so no need to order a larger size boot. These thin liner style socks can help provide protection for paws inside boots; wicking sweat, and increasing comfort.
