Large Breed Dog Booties
A friend recently contacted me
because her dog was getting older and having increasing difficulty with her
paws freezing when outside. This pattern was designed for a Chocolate Labrador.
There are two different boot patterns here, one for the front paws and one for
the back paws.
If adjustments are required or you need
assistance making these boots fit your dog please feel free to contact me. I
will get back to you as soon as I can.
You may sell
your finished product but please refer back to my original pattern when
possible. You may NOT reproduce or sell this pattern and claim it as your own.

I chose to use
velcro to close my boots, allowing them to be wrapped tightly but firmly on the
dogs leg. If you choose you could also use buttons.
Once your boot
is finished, use your fabric paint on the bottom of the boot to provide a
non-slip grip for your pups. I chose to make paw prints on the bottom of mine,
you can choose what ever you would like.
Happy
Crocheting :)
