Dog shoes and leg wraps are great for preventing injury or damage that happens when your dog is outside, but there are occasions where they might be injured despite your best efforts. When dogs are injured they tend to lick the wounded area frequently, which can cause irritation that can sometimes make the problem worse. If the injury is on the leg or paw, shoes and wraps are the ideal way to protect the wound, by keeping it covered and preventing your dog from licking and worrying at it. They’re a great alternative to wearing a cone, which do the job but are uncomfortable and stressful for some dogs.

 

One particular benefit of these protective leg and paw garments is that they’re made from breathable material, which enhances healing and recovery as well as providing protection. Adding gel insoles in a protective boot is a great recovery-enhancing measure too, as the colloidal silver layer helps keep bacteria at bay.
