How to Measure Your Dog’s Paw
WIDTH
- Step 1: Place your dog’s paw on a piece of white paper while they’re standing (weight-bearing position is important)
- Step 2: Mark the widest point of the paw (left to right) and the longest point (front toes to back of paw)
- Step 3: Measure the width and length between your marks
- Step 4: Use the larger measurement (width or length) to determine boot size
- Pro Tip: Measure all four paws! Front paws are often larger than back paws

Important Tips for Boot Fitting
- When in doubt, size up! Boots that are too tight can restrict circulation and cause discomfort
- Allow your dog to walk around the house in new boots to ensure proper fit before outdoor use
- Check for any rubbing or red marks after the first few wears
- Front paws are typically larger than back paws – measure each paw separately
- Some dogs may need different sizes for front and back paws
- Boots should be snug but not too tight – you should be able to fit one finger between the boot and your dog’s leg
- Consider the boot style: some have adjustable straps for a more customized fit
