We spent Christmas Holiday in Santa Fe and our Labradoodle named “Bodhi” caught a lot of attention from literally hundreds. Everyone who saw us commented on the Bark’ n Boots; many asked where we purchased them (REI Inc.) and what brand they were, and even asked to photograph our dog. Bodhi brought many smiles to everyone.

I had purchased the Bark’ n Boots because we knew temperatures were going to be in the single digits overnight, and with an abundance of ice on the sidewalks, the city and local merchants were liberally de-icing the sidewalks with rock salt, sno-melt etc. The boots were perfect for protecting Bodhi’s paw pads from the cold temperatures and even harsher chemicals.

Thank you for your product.
