Each day, Vicki will turn us on to a cool DIY project we can make for our pups. I’ll include a link to complete instructions at the end of each post. I want to note that the artwork for each post was created by Griffin Thorne Illustrations. Griffin is Vicki’s very talented son!

The How-To’s of Making Dog Paw Boots

This time of year is tough on a dog’s paws with the cold, the road salt, and the hard, frozen ground.  You can help keep their paws warm and safe with a set of homemade dog boots!  All you need is some fabric, Velcro and a sewing machine.

As per Uberpest, here are some uses for your DIY dog paw boots:

-Icy trail conditions.

-Protect feet from road chemicals and salt.

-Protect feet from rocky trails and surfaces.

-Protect against formation of ice balls in between toes.

-Keep dressings on wounded feet.
