I’ve had mine for a few years and it’s holding up well.

How durable is this toy. I have a half great dane/ half german shepherd that chews through nearly everything.

I just found this blog via Women’s Adventure magazine (I’m a freelance writer looking for markets), and wanted to say Bravo! A friend is working on designing dog booties–I’m forwarding her a link to this site. Love the Geargals site, too.

Comment on Ruffwear Bark ‘n Boots Polar Trex by geargals

Hey Ron!

I used Geardog’s Polar Trex today for a search and rescue training. They were fine on the packed snow but he lost a bootie or two in the deep snow. I’ll try your drawcord recommendation next time.

Your dog gets hot in -2F? That’s amazing. Geardog’s feet get cold when it’s that chilly out and he’s a tough Alaskan dog.

OK, so based on your recommendation, Brewster now has a set of Polar Trex boots. He is a 90 lb Chesapeake Bay Retreiver (and a particularly handsome one, too), and we went out today snowshoeing to Burstall Pass on the Great Divide. The temp at trailhead was -25C (-13F), and they worked great for him. He has kind of chunky legs, so fit is a bit finicky; you have to do the top drawstring up really tight, or he’ll fling them off when he gets going at a good clip. Once that little glitch was sorted out, they performed quite well and he had no problems with cold feet nor with icing up. Once the temp rose to -19C (-2F) he was starting to get too hot in them so they came off and he did well. I can foresee that we’ll get to use them a dozen or so times this winter where I would have had to leave him at home otherwise due to extreme cold. Thanks for the suggestion!

My doggie has this in purple. I’ve thrown it in the washer about 15 times, and it’s still great.

Thanks for offering info on these types of dog toys. Plush-type toys may attract dogs because of the smell they emulate as well as it being chewable. Good post.

The one thing you didn’t cover: Is it water proof? My dog will often jump in for a swim in the lake as we walk by….. has anyone tested it submerged for any length of time?

Ditto on this collar! You wrote my review for me. Me and my dog both LOVE this collar! I love it both because I can see her in the dark and keep track of her when she is off leash, and everyone else can see her on leashed road walks. My dog? She loves it because it means “walks” to her, and I kind of wonder if she doesn’t think she actually looks really cool in it, which she does!
