Socks for dogs also help keep debris out from between your dog’s paw pads. Little splinters of sticks, pebbles, glass, and other harsh bits and pieces of things on the ground that your puppy can walk on when outside can all get lodged in between the pads of his feet and cut, injure, and infect his feet. This doesn’t happen that often with most dogs, but it does happen enough that it’s a problem for some who live in certain environments where a lot of this debris is lying around. These injuries are painful for your dog to endure, and with the socks, it’s possible to avoid these injuries altogether.

Also important to note is that in the winter time, in cold climates, many city home owners use chemicals on their sidewalks to help the snow melt more easily, and these little bits of chemical on the sidewalk often work their way into your dog’s paw pads when you walk your dog and cause nasty chemical burns, which is not exactly a good time for your dog.

There are a host of circumstances where dog socks make life easier for man’s best friend when they spend time outside. But there are also many situations indoors where these doggy socks make a big difference, too.

If you have a lot of slippery tile or hardwood in your home, and your dog likes to run around a lot, he probably slips and slides when running around corners and doesn’t exactly have the best traction. Also, if you have these surfaces and your dog has nails that scratch them, that can often be a pain for you and your wallet. The pet socks help with all of these problems, as they provide your dog with rubber traction on the bottom of their feet, and since your pet’s nails are on the inside of the sock, your floor surfaces remain unscathed.

On top of this, if you’ve ever found it a pain to clean your dogs’ feet when it’s wet or slushy and muddy outdoors and you take your dogs for a lot of walks, these dog socks are also super helpful because you can just spray the socks with a waterproofing solution, let them dry, and then walk your dogs with the socks through the wet conditions and their paws will stay dry and clean. When you get back to the house, you just slip the socks off your pets’ paws, they’re good to go without any cleanup, and you just toss the doggy socks in the washing machine. It’s a lot easier this way than having to clean their paws before they come back in the house and track around all that wet, muddy mess.

Finally, if you have older doggies that have worn-out paw pads, these socks can be a huge help for them. Most dog socks have rubbery traction on the bottom, and so they give these dogs the ability to walk on slippery surfaces again with confidence.

A lot of people–myself included–when first hearing about dog socks, laugh or scoff at the notion or think it’s ridiculous. But, once you see for yourself just how much something as simple as these little socks can help your dog out in certain situations, you stop laughing and you start making use of them when the situation calls for them.

For your dog, the best part about dog socks is that they’re typically much more comfortable than dog booties, as they’re made of cotton and other soft materials that conform to the shape of your pet’s paw. They also simply use elastic pressure to hold onto your pup’s paws, unlike shoes and booties for dogs that employ the use of straps, buckles, and laces, and so they typically stay on a lot better than those other finicky dog paw-wear.

My two favorite places in the world for buying dog socks are the Chihuahua Shop and G.W. Little, which I’ve pulled my favorite pairs of socks from and linked to in the little catalogue I put together for you, above. Another great thing you’ll notice about dog socks is that they’re pretty cheap, so you don’t have to break the bank in order to keep your dog’s paws protected from the elements, keep them comfortable, and to give your dog that convenient traction that he can use–and do so with style! There are some seriously stylish pairs of socks for dogs out there today, as you can see above, so have fun shopping for them, and I’ll talk to you again very soon! -Mikey

If you’re a chihuahua owner or you have another breed of small dog, you’ve probably noticed the little socks for dogs at the various chihuahua shops online–especially if you like dressing your chihuahuas in clothes. I’ve been seeing these chihuahua socks everywhere lately, with the online pet shops selling socks for small dogs and this whole array of chihuahua dog footwear. It seemed a little crazy to me at first, but thinking about it changed my mind, and I decided to see if we could find some quality ones for the Chihuahua Clothes Shop, and we now have some pretty freaking cool little chihuahua socks for dogs you can check out at the Shop.

Like I said, I thought it was a bit ridiculous at first: “socks for chihuahua doggies? What the heck? Why?” But thinking back about all the times my chihuahuas has gotten something stuck in their paw pads and been licking away at their paws to heal a small wound or a scratch to the pad, after walking on the paved sidewalks for too long, or across the gravel roads with all those tiny little pebbles that get stuck in their little chihuahua paws, it became obvious: these little chihuahua dog socks I’m seeing everywhere in the boutiques today could actually be useful.

Even living here in this heavily chihuahua populated beach town on the Pacific coast, I like to get up early and walk my little dogs along the beach and enjoy the gorgeous morning view of the bay, but often at the end of the walk, when the sun is out in force and its rays are beating down on the sand, those little grains of sand can get scorching hot and it isn’t too comfortable to walk on bare foot, like my dogs do.

Luckily for us, the water is right there, so we can just walk through the shallow surf for a minute to cool our feet off, but with a pair of chihuahua puppy socks, this wouldn’t even be necessary: to clothe chihuahuas in their socks would eliminate the need to do this and would keep their little paws protected from the extreme heat, and I’m sure they’d like that!

I’ve even run into yorkies wearing socks on their walks with their owners, recently. Talking to their owners, they use this little dog socks to to keep their pet’s paws clean, so they don’t have to wash them extensively after each excursion into the jungle here in our back yard. Especially when you live in a rainforest jungle and it’s the rainy season and it rains almost every single day for hours, things can get rather muddy around here, and it can really be a pain in the ass to have constantly wash your dogs feet after every walk so you don’t end up with little black and brown paw marks all over your floor and your sofa and on the bed! So I can totally see using chihuahua socks on my little dogs along with their chihuahua clothes.

And having lived in Canada with my chihuahuas, I’ve noticed that most of the pets like the chihuahua rescue dogs we’ve brought up from Mexico do well in the cold, with the exception of their feet: they start walking on the ice and through the snow and their reaction is like “aaa-ughh. No way; this is too freaking cold! ouch!” and it takes them months to adapt with the chihuahua booties and the little dog socks that you have to use in order to get them used to the cooler weather. Over time, their bodies adapt and you’ll see their paws grow this hair in between each pad to keep their feet warm and keep the snow from getting in between each of their paw pads. But in the beginning, the chihuahuas definitely were in need of their warm chihuahua socks!

So at the Chihuahua Shop, we now have some very cute socks for dogs, like the tiny chihuahua dog socks you’ll find here, and the other adorable doggy socks for chihuahuas, each pair with their own design patter that makes them unique!

So now, in addition to the quality chihuahua clothes you can find at the Chihuahua Shop, you have an entire selection of protective socks for dogs that have anti-slip grip pads on the bottom and that are thick enough to protect and fashionable enough to be your chihuahua’s pair of stylish socks for dogs that all the other little dog owners will be squealing over with delight the next time they see the two of you on your walk! So go check them out at the store right now, and I’ll be back later with the latest news from the ever changing world of chihuahua clothes and socks for dogs!
