Custom Boots

Thera-Paw boots can be customised to fit your dog’s paw and limb if one of the average sizes does not fully fit.

Some options are:

1. If your dog’s Wrist/Ankle Circumference  is WIDER (your measurement is greater) than the determined pawsize, then the Thera-Paw boot cuff needs to be widened[we widen the cuff of the boot by adding more neoprene (stretchy material) to the cuff].
2. If your dog’s Wrist/Ankle Height  is SHORTER (your measurement is less) than the determined paw size, then the Thera-Paw boot cuff needs to be cut down.
3. If your dog has sensitive skin or is prone to sores on the toes then we can add sheepskin to the inside of the boot.
4. If your dog has toes missing and the foot moves in the boot we can add support to the area of missing toes (sometimes).
5. If your dog has knuckles that stand up high then we can add more material to the top of the boot to provide more space for his knuckles.
6. If your dog has sores on top of his knuckles or delicate skin and sliding the foot into the boot aggravates this then we can change the top of the boot to have an opening so you then just place the foot onto the boot and have a new closure over the top of the knuckles. We can also add sheepskin provided boot is not to get wet.
7. If your dog has long nails, mis-shappen nails or will wear the boot for many hours in the day then a sandal like boot can be created – this helps breathability of the paw and can also aid lateral or medial support.
8. If the paw is taking strain from an unstable or mis-shapened carpal or tarsal joint above then we can incorporate a carpal or tarsal support with the boot.

Most custom modifications can be done in 5 business days. You will need to pay in advance. Note I start with a TheraPaw boot, the cost of which is between £35 and £45 and then changes are made which have a cost of between £15 and £45 each then P&p added. Sometimes we may advise the need for adding a carpal or tarsal support to the boot to help fit and support – these are an additional cost of £100 to £200 plus. There are NO refunds on customised boots, minor adjustments can be made at no additional cost. These are a customised product and the costs are as reasonable as we can make them for the materials and work we do as we do want to try help your pet.
