| Check my camera, pixs below. (don't know how to post directly into a message) At least you only had snow boots, not a snow butt!
You did the fastest way to get rid of them. Good job. It's a special type snow, certain moisture content for it to stick. Dry snow doesn't stick.......but then if all you have is the wetter stuff..........better train the pup to boots! I don't know if spraying the legs with Pam before going out would help. Works for the snow shovel! It's a problem for all long haired dogs........which is why the snow breeds have short haired feet and legs. |
awww... poor sweetheart. Very stylish though  |
| Ah, that is stylish......
Poor Allie though. We used long sleeved kids t-shirts - that helps for the front legs anyway! |
| OMG! SheepieBoss! Those poor pups! Did you also use warm water in the tub? We were worried that if it was left on a long time, she might get frostbite on her pads? The snow was on her belly real bad also. I usually put a t-shirt on her, it at least keeps it off the belly, but was not expecting the sticky snow last weekend..... |
| Dogs get frostbite just like people do.... maybe just not keep her out as long? |
That happened to Ru when we went out in the snow last year  His legs were so heavy he couldn't get up the step into the house. |
How about some Tubigrip, or maybe some long socks with the foot cut off, the sock not the dog  |
| Hi!
We also have a lot of snow at this time in Austria.I do some Vaseline under the paws and the rest of it wich is on my hands i put on the hair at the legs.Works good. Susanne |
| Oh yes leave the sheepie out for too long and that is what you get. Just think with the dry snow we have in the rockies this is a daily event. Obe had to be carried inside one day as he and his buddy where out playing. The snow built up so bad that he could not walk and I had to carry him inside and begin the defrosting w/ a hairdryer, brushes, towels, mop, etc. Floor was clean afterward, haha. |
| Shon, I find the drier the snow the less likely to get the snow boots. Yes, some but not the big globs. If the pups are out a while and get wet (harder to do with dry snow) then yes, the body heat and wettness are ideal for snow globs.
I'm happy living where snow is infrequent and the dogs wouldn't rather pee and poop on the cleared driveway than venture into the snow....desert dogs, I guess. |
