Bark'n Boots are built to secure around the ankle but below the carpal pad. The boot should have room in the paw area, allowing the paw to spread when bearing weight.
- Have your dog stand on a firm surface (wood, linoleum, or concrete).
- Place a piece of blank paper under a front paw.
- Lift the dog's other front paw so that its weight is placed firmly on the paw being measured.
- Mark the paper at the paw's widest point on the left and right edges of the paw (see graphic).
- Use a ruler to measure the width of the paw (in inches) from the left mark to the right mark.
- Use the chart to determine the proper size. For example: if the width is measured between 2.25" and 2.5" (57-64 mm), the dog would wear a small boot; between 2.75" and 3.0" (70-76 mm), a large.
