- Glia and I have been on a hunt to find the best winter dog boots, so we decided to put a few different styles to the test. This video compares DogBooties.com dog boots, Muttluks Fleece-lined Boots, and Ruffwear Polar Trex Boots (plus the Bark n' Boots socks).
We tested each boot for warmth, weight, water resistance, how long they take to dry out, traction, how easy they are to put on, how well they stay on, and overall comfort. Start watching to find out which boot came out as the winner in this comparison.

love your review!! very refreshing and going with the winners 🎉
This is the best review video I have ever seen in my life. 🤣 I'm a science lover at heart so I thought the experiments and charts were a really nice touch.
Thank you! It was fun to test things out, even if the experiments would need a few more repetitions and controls for the best accuracy. Thank you watching and for taking the time to comment.
For those like me who are super interested in "how easy to put on", that's around 15 minutes. Like cameras, the best one is one you use, for dog booties, if I can't get them on, it doesn't matter what the other ratings are! Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks so much for your video! I am gonna try the 500s!
Really appreciate the effort you put into this, thank you!
This is great, thanks for putting this together. I bought the polar trex in hopes they'd be good in ice but they did not stay on my pups feet, so then I was recommended the dog booties and have had much better luck (a dog musher in Alaska actually recommended the brand to me). Was glad to see they were your first pick too! Thanks again!
The best video ever, thanks for all the hard work ❤ ❤❤
Thank you for the kind comment!
The rough wear socks are meant to cover the dew claw so that it doesn't interfere with the booty and get hung up in it.
The socks definitely help, but I still find that the compression of the velcro strap adds pressure over the dewclaw. I have heard of some people wrapping the dewclaw with vetwrap under the sock to reduce compression of the nail against the dogs skin. I haven't tried that yet though. Does the sock and boot combination work well enough alone for your dog's dewclaws?
you have to be a scientist or engineer or just very committed to the scientific method.
Haha! It's definitely a lot of testing, but I do enjoy it.
Hi
Thank you for this great information.
Do you happen to know what kind would work best for a Whippet? Their legs and feet are pretty much the same size all the way down so most boots slide right off. Thanks for any advice you have.
That is a challenge to have a dog with such narrow paws. I would still recommend the Dog Booties from dogbooties.com style as they stay on the best for my pup and I have seen others with small dogs with narrow legs and paws have success with the dog booties. I think it helps that they are lighter weight and it is easy to fold any extra material to fasten them on securely. Hope that helps you make a decision.
@@pawsitivelyintrepid Thank you so much, it will help for sure.
HEY YOU NEED TO BALANCE YOUR VOCAL VOLUME AND INTRO MUSIC! i am deaf now
Good video tho
Oh fuck in specialized stores in Spain there's only Ruffwear and Muttlucks🤣🤣🤣. Expensive and unefficient.
@Pawsitively Intrepid I have a white swiss shepherd in Northwest of Madrid, mountains zone with an altitude from 1200 metters to 2500, a litle village called Navacerrada. My big and tought dog has a paw injured and I was looking for boots to protect the injured zone, keep it dry in snow or rain...but now I don't know what to do. He is one year old and never stops, he needs to walk and look for rabbits, play with me...
I make some games for him at home but I had the hope to have found good boots for my dog, and begin to have long walks once more. Even in an online store of Barcelona they told me that there was not any kind of boots 100% waterproof.
@@karlgreenkgv That's tough to have to be recovering a paw injury for an active dog. While these also might not be 100% waterproof, have you tried something like Pawz rubber dog boots?
@@pawsitivelyintrepid they are easy to find in stores in all Spain but someone told me that Pawz boots use to cut of the circulation. In fact was a friend with a husky that use to go to mushing championships but he competes running
@@karlgreenkgv Yikes. That's not good. I've never used them for long periods of time, just to cover a wrapped paw during wet weather. Good to know that they shouldn't be used during longer activities.
