FAQ
Size + Fit
Do I need to measure my dog's paws before purchasing?
YES! It is impossible to determine the size of your pup's paws by weight and breed alone. Since RMPP Dog Booties do not utilize any closures, it's extremely important to measure front and back paws before purchasing. You can see our measuring guide and size chart here.
My dog is in between sizes, which size should I get?
If your dog is in between sizes, we almost always recommend sizing down. This ensures our stay on design will STAY ON! For senior or more sedentary dogs, size up.
I got my boots, how do I know if they're the right size?
First, make sure you are trying the boots on both front and rear paws. To confirm you have the correct size, we recommend doing the "pull test", which we demo at the end of this video here.
The difference between boot size is subtle and dog's can often fit into two different sizes, BUT the correct size will be snug enough to stay on while running even at full sprint. In addition to the "pull test", we recommend having your pup run in them (somewhere clean and indoors) so if they fall off you can exchange them for a different size.
We REALLY want you to get the right size, because we know you and your pup will love them!
They don't fit, now what?
Sometimes it can be hard to get the size right on the first try, which is why we offer (1) free exchange with each purchase. For more info how to exchange, click here.
What about dog's with dew claws?
RMPP dog booties are dew claw safe - many RMPP pup's have their dew claws!
Will these work for Corgi's and other short legged dogs?
No, unfortunately our current design does not work for short legged dogs. We are working on a Corgi specific design and hope to have something available soon!
Where and how to wear
How do you get these things on?
What makes RMPP Dog Booties so unique is our innovative, patent-pending shoe horns! By using these very simple plastic inserts, you are able to pry open the narrow neoprene cuff to slide your pup's paws through. You can see a demo here. Do NOT use the neoprene shims as pull tabs. This will likely damage the bootie.
How do I take them off?
A firm tug is all you'll need to get RMPP boots off your pup.
Can RMPP booties get wet?
Getting RMPP booties wet will not damage them, but if the leather becomes too saturated with water they can become heavy and fall off.
If your pup loves to get in the water, we recommend taking each paw and squeezing the excess water out before adventuring on.
Can they be worn in the snow?
Yes, they can be worn in light snow. For deep snow, we recommend our Winter Dog Booties.
What do they protect against?
RMPP booties offer great protection for rocky trails, gravel roads, hot pavement, desert slick rock, slippery floors, burrs, cheat grass, foxtails, goat heads, injuries, and grass allergies.
Performance
Are they waterproof?
No, our leather is not waterproof. While you could use a waterproof coating, we do not recommend this as it will alter the breathability of the boots.
Are they breathable?
Yes, deerskin leather is a naturally breathable material, more than the synthetic alternative most dog boots are made out of.
My dog drags his paws, will these hold up?
If your pup drags his paws when he walks and you walk on pavement, holes will eventually develop in the boots. You can try to treat the worn areas with Shoe Goo to prevent any further damage.
Are they puncture resistant?
Although the leather we use is quite strong, it can be punctured.
Why leather?
For us, leather was the natural and obvious solution for dog boots. Leather is strong, breathable, and allows dog's to feel the ground beneath them as they walk. If you've used other dog boots, you will notice that there is very little adjustment period - if any - with RMPP booties.
Many people believe that leather holds in the heat, but actually the opposite is true! That's why it's classically used for motorcycle gear. It's capable of protecting against hot pavement while offering breathability.
