What are people's thoughts on dog booties?
Here's my situation: I take my dog hiking, running, and biking with some frequency (2-3 times a week). She is mostly running on pavement. I live in Hawaii so it never gets cold or exceptionally hot. My thought is if we make sure her pads are well maintained, we probably don't need booties. My girlfriend thinks we should get them.
Thoughts? Personally, I think they are valuable for extreme cold, but see them somewhat as a marketing ploy - they have some value, but by and large aren't really necessary. That said, I can be swayed if people think there's strong reason to get some.
Last question: if you do use them, what do you have and do you like them?
