dogs feet are getting cold in the snow:what can I do?

I have a mini rat terrier and when I take him outside to go to the bathroom,he can only stay out about 3 minutes before his feet get cold and he wants to lay down in the snow,which is colder on his nether regions,i am sure is there anything i can do to keep his feet warm in the snow? sometimes he can get the job done in the amount of time that we are out there,but most times he does one or the other and then comes back inside and starts whining he has to go out again in 20 minutes or so. thanks!!

Boots for the dog. That's the trick used up here.

You beat me to it Eric. I've used that site for boots for my dogs. They have a great selection.

Yea, the wife made me buy a set for her Wiener dog. It was funny last year when we had 3-1/2 inches of snow on the ground and his little wee-wee is on only 2 inches off the ground. He couldn't arch his back high enough. Looked like has was furrowing for corn seed. I still LMFAO when i think about it.

I bought boots for Lhasa apso I had a few yrs back. She was getting grass burrs in her paws. The boots worked great

I know people that have run dogsleds in AL and boots is the way they do it.

Or theres the alternative available at your local Big 5...costs about 38 cents and measures about .45 of an inch in diameter...

Where do they get enough snow to run dogs in Alabama?
