Do you think it is necessary for a dog to wear shoes when you bring them out ? For me, i don't let my dog wear shoes whenever we went out , i think it is uncomfortable for a dog to wear shoes .

In my personal opinion, dogs are not meant to wear anything, including clothings, and shoes especially. Their paws are meant to touch the ground, with their nails in aid of some gripping of the ground. With shoes coming in between their paws and the ground, I believe they do not feel comfortable at all when they walk. And with the shoes covering up their foot, they may feel warm.

There's no way I would put my animals in any kind of clothing - their bodies are already adapted well enough to handle just fine without it. I've never actually seen a dog wearing shoes in public, though.

I don't think it is necessary for a dog to wear shoes when bringing them out for a walk. They are animals anyway and they will sure to feel uncomfortable wearing shoes. If you are afraid that their legs might get dirty after walking in the park you can wash their feet when you reached home.

for me, i think of dog (or any animal at that) shoes as a form of animal abuse.

i think they should wear shoes. if they don't, they will bring dirt into house and it will be dirty. of course,i am willing to clean my dog's paws,but it won't let me do it. that's difficult to decide.

No i don't think dogs should wear shoe because their paws are specially adapted to take on any form of ground so thats what they should be kept in.

It is not necessary for our dogs to wear anything, its just what is the fashion today and if needed esp. in rainy day and they want to go out then why not let them wear so they can have fun outside.
