The QUMY dog boots are a top-rated pick with a 4.3 rating after more than 1,100 reviews. These rugged boots have anti-slip soles to give your dog traction while protecting them from the hot pavement and tough terrain. They can even be worn in the winter months to protect your dog from snow and salt. These are easy to slide on and off because of the wide split opening that also makes them comfy for most pooches. Just be sure to get the proper size. The sizes range from 1.4 inches up to 3.3 inches, so they can fit a variety of dogs.

There are also adjustable, reflective velcro straps for a secure fit and to ensure that your dog is visible during evening walks. Since only the soles of these boots are waterproof, they're great to wear in light rain, but any deep water contact should be avoided. These are also not the most breathable option, so if you plan on going for long hikes, they might not be the best choice.

• Available sizes: 8 from 1.4 x 1.1 inches to 3.3 x 2.9 inches

What fans say: “The boots stay on well with no shifting as the double velcro straps keep them in place. The sole is sturdy, with good traction, so not only does my boy have great protection from the hot pavement, but he is able to jump into the car and do all his normal activities without difficulty. We live in the Sonoran desert and I am relieved to know that he is now well protected, not only from the burning summer pavement, but from stickers, burrs and bits of cacti in the desert when we go hiking.”

If your pet has feet and joints that could use extra support, the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boots are worth considering. They have foam padding to provide extra comfort and protection when walking in hot or cold weather. The boots also have adjustable foam velcro straps for a soft grip that’s secure. With a wide opening seam, they’re super easy to slip on your dog and hard for them to slip off. They’re machine-washable for easy cleaning and are ideal for senior dogs or any pet that tends to have a hard time on slippery floors since they can be worn inside and out. Plus, you can get them in solid black or red.

• Available sizes: 5 from 1.25 inches to 4 inches wide

What fans say: “Our Border Collie has weak hind legs and slips a lot when walking over our wooden floors. I love the boots. They are easy to put on, looks very comfortable for our dog, he does not complain or even try to chew at them. After a day or so, I also notice that he is more happy with the boots on than off! Highly recommended.”

LONSUNEER's mesh boots are a breathable choice for about half the price of the first two picks. These booties are soft, with nonslip waterproof soles. Because they are made of mesh but still offer good traction, they are a great choice for longer hikes and hot weather. They can be used indoors on hardwood floors as well to prevent your puppy from slipping.

With an opening at the back of the bootie, they’re easy to put on your pup. They also have two reflective straps for night visibility and can be easily hand-washed and air-dried when dirty. Since these booties are mesh, they’re not fully waterproof, so be sure not to get them soaked. They’re available in pink or bright green, too. If you want them in a larger size, you can get the LONSUNEER Dog Boots.

• Available sizes: 4 from 1.18 x 1.38 inches to 1.89 x 2.32 inches

What fans say: “Absolutely adorable! I love that she wears them, they aren't heavy, they breathe, and protect her feet from the hot pavement here in Florida! And they are cute for my girl!"

If your dog hates to wear boots, the Morezi anti-slip traction pads is a good alternative. These nonslip paw pads with hypoallergenic adhesive stick to your pet’s paws, providing temporary protection when walking on hot pavement and even indoors. A silicone gel padding protects your hardwood floors from unnecessary scratches while providing traction for your dog to avoid slipping. You get a total of 24 paw pads, which equals six wearable sets in each pack. These protective pads are also available in blue.

• Available sizes: 6 from 1.6 x 1.3 inches to 3.4 x 3.0 inches

What fans say: “I have tried every boot, shoe and sock for my dog. These are great! They stay on, they're soft and flexible. She doesn't ever realize she has them on.”

For additional paw protection to use with booties and without, Musher’s Secret paw protection wax is great. This all-natural wax creates a semi-permeable shield that helps protect your pet’s precious paws from hot pavement, sand, and even ice exposure. The wax has a rich, creamy texture formulated with vitamin E to not only moisturize but aide in healing cracks, burns, and other wounds as well. It doesn’t offer as much protection as wearing boots, but it’s a much lighter choice that also protects paws in salty snow and doubles as an ointment. Plus, it’s nonallergenic and won’t stain. With more than 4,000 positive reviews, it's a fan favorite.

What fans say: “Amazing product. Bought the 1-pound since I have 2 medium size huskies. I live in Las Vegas. Currently temperatures are 115°+ their paws were dry and felt like lil razors since they were cracked. I applied enough on all four paws each and in 6hrs i noticed the difference. Their paws were smooth and moist.”
