Dog shoe size guide

Paw width is the only measurement that matters. Front and rear paws are often different sizes, so measure both and order a pair for each. Between sizes? Round up.

How to measure

1Paw width

With the paw flat on the floor and weight on it, measure across the widest part of the pad from edge to edge. Nails don't count.

Weight and breed are a starting point only. Paw width decides the size.

Fit notes

  • Measure both ends. Front paws are usually bigger than rear paws. Shoes are sold in pairs so you can mix sizes.
  • Between sizes? Round up. Never round down; a shoe that's too tight won't stay on comfortably.
  • Weight and breed are hints, not answers. Two dogs of the same breed can be a size apart.
