I got it at Bark and Fitz in Westboro. Ingredients are: soybean oil, cornstarch, cottonseed oil, beeswax, tea-tree oil and benzoin. I think it cost me $14. <br /><br />My daughter has a prima dona yorkie who won't go anywhere without boots. I babysat him last year in the winter and found putting the boots on was such a struggle that I gave the Invisible Boot a try and voila -- he walked all the way. I'm soooo converted to this product!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363841638928895990.post-53838501641906423832011-11-23T21:14:02.301-05:002011-11-23T21:14:02.301-05:00are you talking about Paw Wax? yes that's a g...are you talking about Paw Wax? yes that's a good alternative - I've seen it in Petsmart.Shelamo Sheltieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352703252880579245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363841638928895990.post-77961855419873621832011-11-23T20:15:52.185-05:002011-11-23T20:15:52.185-05:00Hey Kav - I'd like to hear more about your &qu...Hey Kav - I'd like to hear more about your "glop"!! Sounds like a potential alternative for us too!<br /><br />Today was the first snow of the year and I regretted not putting Travis and Indie's boots on!! I thought being the first snow I could get away with it but the roads and sidewalks were heavily salted and both dogs were limping and then litterally on their backs half way through our walk - the furthest point from home!!<br /><br />Neither likes wearing their boots (you can see the disgust in their eyes when I pull them out) but I'm sure part of them realizes their feet don't hurt when they go out for a walk!<br /><br />I wish the city of Ottawa would only sand sidewalks - so much better for our fur-babies!!CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886449588896382915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363841638928895990.post-47517174766783733902011-11-23T12:41:55.812-05:002011-11-23T12:41:55.812-05:00My dog has always been sensitive to the salt in re...My dog has always been sensitive to the salt in really cold temps. They tend to salt heavily where I live and everywhere. Last year I stumbled upon a invisible boot product -- lovely moisturing glop that you spread on the dog's pads before you take him out for a walk. It's miraculous. Simba can clomp through salty streets without a single wince or favoured paw. Plus it keeps his pads from cracking. In fact, they were in such good shape last year that I tried them on my heels and ooohhlala -- it really works! :-) The stuff is all natural, not harmful if the dog licks at his feet and won't stain. One jar lasted me the whole season so it was way cheaper than buying booties and much less of a fuss.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
