1. Let your dog stand on a flat surface.
2. Put a piece of paper under one of the front paws.
3. Gently lift the opposite paw so that the paw the being measured lays flat under bearing weight.
4. Mark with a pencil the widest part of the paw on both sides.
5. Now you can easily measure the distance between the two marks with a ruler.
6. Repeat the same steps for one of the hind paws (these are often smaller). If necessary you can also order the Ruffwear Polar Trex in a set of 2.

Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
At Ruffwear I found what I was looking for with the small size. But for the hind legs my dachshund also needs the socks so that the shoes really fit tightly (here it would be good if the shoes would be one size smaller). My dachshund lady is not very enthusiastic about the shoes so far. She simply refused the first walks and didn't move from the stain until the shoes were off (she can't take them off herself thanks to the cuffs, not even after several attempts). Even after 30 minutes walking in the snow the paws are still dry and warm, the shoes fit well. But my dachshund still bends very often and runs less. She remains little convinced of the shoes. In case of an emergency (at -20°C), however, they fulfil their purpose, the dog can go for longer walks without snow lumps and frozen balls of foot in the snow. Whether they are suitable for cross-country skiing, if the dachshund has to run a little faster, we still have to find out. (Posted on 1/31/2019) - DobermanReview by Oliver [translated review]

In our case, it would have been a good idea if they were slightly higher on the leg and the Velcro fastener was not at the level of the wolf's claw or was made of a softer, elastic band. (Posted on 12/22/2018) - WhippetReview by Andrea [translated review]

but unfortunately, although the width is right, they are very small. (Posted on 12/22/2018) - Entlebucher Mountain DogReview by Sabine Lehnert [translated review]
