Take a piece of a light truck tire innertube and cut it so that it's length is enough to extend from well up the front of the foot down over the pad and the same distance up the rear, and wide enough so it gives your dog the protection needed. Tape it with adhesive tape once around the front piece and the leg to hold it on, then place the rubber over the pad and up the back side of the foot, being sure not to make it too tight, and tape around leg. Do this once on each leg and Voila! your dog is booted. Also a lot cheaper than stuff you can buy, and it works well. I've not geven any dimensions here, as dog breeds differ in size. I've seen these boots made out of bicycle innertubes, but they are too light for the purpose. -- Ed
