Key Features & Benefits

• Ease of Entry: The tapered cuff holds the dewclaw in place and makes it much smoother to slide the dog’s paw into the boot.

• Moisture Management: Made from a polyester/spandex blend, they wick moisture away from the paw (yes, dogs’ paws can get sweaty/clammy inside rubber or waterproof boots).

• Improved Fit: If your dog is between boot sizes, these liners add just enough volume to ensure the boots don’t fly off during a sprint.

• Protection: They act as a barrier against friction, preventing the boot material from rubbing against the “stopper pad” or dewclaw.

Pro-Tips for Use

1. The “Dewclaw Tuck”: When pulling the sock up, ensure it covers the dewclaw entirely to prevent the boot’s cinch strap from pinching it.

2. Check the Toes: Ensure the sock is pulled taut so theres no extra fabric bunched up at the front, which can cause discomfort.

3. Sizing: Match the liner size to the boot size. If your dog wears a 2.5″ boot, get the Large liners.

Ruffwear Bark’n Boot Liners are sized to correspond directly with the width of your dog’s paws (and their Ruffwear boot size).

The liners are sold in sets of 4, and each size covers a small range because the material is stretchy.

How to Measure

To get the right fit, you need to measure the widest part of your dogs paw:

1. Weight-Bearing is Key: Have your dog stand on a piece of paper so their paw spreads naturally under their weight.

2. Mark it: Mark the paper at the widest points on the left and right sides of the paw.

3. Measure: Measure the distance between those two marks with a ruler.

4. Check All Four: It is very common for a dog’s front paws to be wider than their back paws. If your dog is between sizes, it is generally recommended to size down for a snug, bunch-free fit.

Pro-Tip: The “Two-Size” Dilemma

If your dog’s front paws are significantly larger than their back paws (e.g., they need a Medium for the front and a Small for the back), you might find that one set of liners is a bit loose on the back. Since the liners are stretchy, most people stick with the size that fits the larger front paws, but for a perfect “no-slip” setup, some owners buy two different sized sets.
