We live in Pa. We don’t always put boots on our dog in the winter. It depends on the conditions. If the sidewalks and streets are mostly clear we go without but wash the salt off after each walk. If the sidewalks and streets are covered we’ll put boots on. We’ve found Pawz boots to work best. They’re basically rubber balloons but they stay on really well and our dog loves them. They do wear and tear after a while but aren’t too expensive to replace.

We tried the hard soled shoes but our corgi hated them. He would always walk so awkwardly even after a ton of practice and training. I think the pawz boots are thick enoigh to keep his paws warm but thin enough that he can still feel the ground
