Ferp Dog Trekking Shoes – M

The Ferplast (Ferp) Dog Trekking Shoes in size Medium are designed for active dogs navigating rough or sensitive terrain. Produced by the Italian brand Ferplast, these are a popular choice for hikers who need a balance of protection and simplicity. Product Overview: Size M Dimensions: Approximately 5.5 x 6.8 cm (width x length). Quantity: Typically sold in a pack of 4 shoes . Target Breeds: Generally fits medium-sized breeds like Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Border Collies, or Basenjis . Key Features Material: Made from durable, lightweight polyester that allows for some breathability while protecting against heat, cold, and sharp rocks. Anti-Slip Sole: Features a special rubberized surface designed to provide grip on slippery or uneven mountain trails. Closure System: Uses a wrap-around Velcro strap for easy adjustment and a secure fit. Reflective Accents: Often includes reflective stitching or strips to improve visibility during low-light treks. Pros and Cons Pros Cons Padded Comfort: Good for dogs with delicate paws or senior dogs needing extra grip. Sizing Accuracy: Can be tricky; it’s highly recommended to measure the widest part of the paw while the dog is standing (bearing weight). High Visibility: Bright colors (often black/orange) and reflective parts. Water Resistance: While they handle damp ground well, they are usually water-resistant rather than fully waterproof for deep puddles. Ease of Use: The wide opening makes them easier to slip onto “feisty” paws. Stay-on Power: Like most dog boots, they may require very tight strapping to prevent slipping during high-speed running. Quick Fitting Tip To ensure the Medium is the right fit, place your dog’s paw on a piece of paper, mark the widest points on either side, and measure the distance. If the width is close to 5.5 cm , the Medium should fit comfortably without being restrictive.
