Ideas please

[KatePotter]

As you know poor little Nel has a broken toe, the problem is, the supports are wearing out so quickly & todays got really wet. She has on another new one (4th) & is booked in for next Friday to have it changed then on Saturday we're off on Holiday via the Scottish Labradoodle day in Dundee. I have been looking on the www for some kind of surgical boot that is hardwearing & waterproof, the only one I can find is American & it wont be here in time. I thought about making one & I even went looking for childrens ski mittens today but it's the wrong season of course . So the question is does anyone have any good ideas either where to get one or how to make one . We've tried the sandwich bag & although it keeps it dry it doesn't last long.

Hi, just popped on the web, and mikki do dog boots at Canine Concepts, and pet planet.co.uk at £4.99 I don't know if that helps, at least they are in England. Hope you get sorted.

Hi Chris,
I've seen some in a mountaineering shop that might fit the bill (or rather, paw! ) but can't remember where it was! Might be worth trying the Great Outdoors store next to Boundary Mill or maybe the Mountain Warehouse at Royal Quays?

Thanks everyone.
Rhod, I went to a few mountain & camping shops yesterday....no joy.
ralph's mum good idea!
Julie that's really kind of you but I have found a neoprene dog boot on the web thanks to pookie
PS.julie I was looking at your favourite pics of Bailey and his coat as a pup looks so like Nels, I hope she ends up with a coat like his, because he's lovely. The big question is does he moult?
PPSlooking forward to seeing you in Dundee too

[julies0708]

glad you got something that fits the bill and yes Bailey does cast - it tumbles across the floor in rolls of cream fluff but very different to Brackens labrador hair - he casts a lot more

fingers crossed for a sunny day next Saturday
