No, you don’t blow them up. Simply find the correct size for your pooch, slide them and the top portion of the bootie will cling snuggly to their
paw. Somebody was thinking when they designed these little wonders. You get 12 booties in one pack. They’re environmentally friendly, disposable and
will work in various conditions; especially cold weather and salt. At a price range of $20.00-$25.00, they’re well worth considering. Be sure to visit the size chart before purchasing the boot as they should conform to the doggie’s foot. It’s a good idea to also visit the store locator as not all retailers stock these booties.
