Should my 8 week old Labradoodle puppy wear boots outside in the snow? coat?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Those are both hunting breeds. Of course not.

As to the boots, put them on only if you want to watch your puppy try to pull them off the entire time he is outdoors. Dogs need some training to get used to them and they are usually used for working dogs (such as after 9/11 to help protect their feet from damage.

Wanted to get a second opinion as Canine Spirit says differently
Does snow and/or ice pose a problem for dog’s feet?
Yes, certain conditions produce sticky, wet snow. In these conditions the snow will ball up in-between the dogs toes and cause irritation, cuts and tenderness. Dogs often chew at this frozen snow, pulling out fur and in some cases chunks of their pads. Granular or frozen snow on the other hand is equivalent to course sandpaper and is extremely abrasive on pads. As more people take their dogs snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on groomed or hard-packed trails, it is especially important to protect their pads. Another hazard would be razor sharp ski and snowboard edges. I have seen several and heard of many more severely cut paws, pads and ankles from frolicking dogs that venture too close to skis and snowboards.

Just wanted to check as he slips on our floors and was wondering maybe it would help with slipping on ice.
