Dog boots can protect paws from heat, water, icy conditions, injury, infection, and getting dirty. From extreme weather conditions to scorching summer heatwaves, dog boots keep our pets safe when out on a walk.

It is important to buy the right boots for your dog. Much like if our winter boots are too small or too big, they can cause discomfort to your pet if they don't fit properly. Dog boots should fit snuggly but not too tight. They should also be secure enough to stay on your dog's paws without slipping off. Some dogs may not respond well to having boots put on them – similar to how certain pets aren't fans of wearing any type of clothing or coats.

But if you're looking for the best dog boots to buy, keep reading to discover our top picks. There's a pair for even the smallest dog all the way through to larger breeds...
