Dog Shoes Care Guide

Thank you for choosing Buddy Boots! To make sure your pup’s shoes stay in top condition and continue to provide the best protection, we’ve put together some simple care tips. With a little extra love, your dog’s boots will be ready for any adventure!

How to Care for Your Buddy Boots

  • Hand Wash Preferred: We recommend giving the boots a gentle hand wash to help preserve their quality and keep them looking great.

  • Cold Water Only: Be sure to wash the boots in cold water (30°C/86°F) to avoid any shrinking or material damage.

  • Skip the Bleach: Bleach and harsh cleaners can weaken the materials and fade those beautiful colors—so it’s best to avoid them!

  • Use Mild Detergent: A gentle detergent will do the trick, keeping the shoes fresh without irritating your dog’s skin.

  • No Soaking: Try not to soak the boots for too long—just a quick wash is all they need to stay clean.

  • Don’t Wring Them Out: Instead of wringing, gently press the excess water out after washing to maintain the shoe’s shape.

  • Air Dry in the Shade: Let the boots air dry naturally in a cool, shaded spot. Direct sunlight or tumble drying can damage the materials.

  • No Ironing or Dry Cleaning: Buddy Boots are designed for outdoor adventures, not the dry cleaner! Avoid ironing or using harsh chemicals.

Storage Tips

  • Keep Them Dry: After every adventure, make sure the boots are completely dry before storing them in a cool, dry place to avoid any mold or mildew.

  • Shape Saver: If you want to maintain the original shape, try stuffing the boots with paper or a soft material while they’re in storage.
