Dear Ronnie,
We were in Ottawa for the Winterlude and your high performance boots
and raincoat was a relief for our puppy Jaq. Jaq was actually
pulling us while we were skating on the frozen Rideau Canal!
If he did not have the high performance boots on, his little paws
would have for sure been frost bitten. We actually call his
raincoat his snow suit because he knows that he can roll around in
the snow once he has it on. While we were walking around Parliament
Hill in Ottawa Jaq was attracting attention everywhere he went. Everyone
was extremely interested in his boots and his raincoat.
The photographer for the Ottawa Sun just happened to notice all the
attention Jaq was receiving as well. So he ask me if he could
photograph Jaq and I to appear on the Ottawa Sun the next day.
Well, it just so happened that we appeared on page 3 wearing all the
Neo-Paws gear! You were a hit in Ottawa and Quebec
Ronnie! Everyone we ran into on the street were asking about
Neo-Paws. And we promoted and talked about you with great success!
Let me tell you, have a shih tzu as a pet requires a lot of time grooming
due to their long and thick coat. After discovering your high
performance boots and raincoat, clean up after the rain, snow and
mud is a breeze.
Sincerely, Clarine Lee

My dog Chynna is a hyper-active dog. Thanks to
her new neo-paws high perfromance shoes I now allow her to run in
the sand, in the snow, in the river and on ice knowing that she
will remain free of any injuries. Thank you NEO-PAWS International.

Hi Received my order yesterday and wanted to write
and tell you that I loved the backpack. I have 2 St.. Bernard puppies
1yr and 2 years old. It fit on both of them. It sure will come in
handy when we go for our long walks as well as for skijoring. The
reflective collars also fight and look great. thinking of getting
another set of collars to switch off on. Just wanted to write and
let you know that i am very satisfied with the products as well as
fast service. Will definitely order again.
Thank you.

Roanna,
thanks so much for your help, and we LOVE the boots .
We've been searching for this product forever, unfortunately
we've always had to settle with what Petsmart (pet store) had to offer.
Thanks again, and we'll be happy to pass along the good word on the
boots to whoever asks! Thomas Harrison

Dear Ronnie,
Re our telephone conversation a short time ago, may I just say how
much I appreciate your efforts to get a pair of shoes to Khan (our
German Shepherd) so very quickly. If he could speak, I am sure he
would say a big Thank You, as he is moving much better in the new
shoes. I will give you a ring at the end of February, but if you need
to contact us in the meantime, just E Mail us. Alf

Dear Roanna
I do hope that all is well with you. Khan would like to thank you
very much again for his boots as without them it would be totally
impossible to go out for a walk. Many people comment on his boots
and children are fascinated by a dog wearing boots! We walk about
1 mile every day as I have a harness that his back legs fit through
to enable me to help his balance and take a bit of his weight. Khan
is a large German Shepherd and weighs in at about 42kg, walking every
day carrying this weight is certainly making me a lot fitter! We went
last week back to see his Vet who is a Neurologist and she was very
impressed with his boots.
Thank you, Lesley and Khan |

Dear Neo-Paws Lady,
I just wanted to write and thank you so very much myself and on behalf
of my friend, Wyn, and her dear doggy "Reilly", for all your wonderful
help and trouble in providing the very excellent bootees. I think
you have already received a message from my sister in Canada as we
wanted to let you know as soon as possible how perfect the bootees
are. The fit is wonderful and dear Reilly must be finding them so
very comfortable as Wyn tells me that he just bounces about when he
is wearing them and even scratches with his front paws as if they
weare his own feet ! He can now run anywhere in the field where Wyn
takes him for his daily walks without her being afraid that he will
get thorns and grit etc in his long-haired paws and it no longer matters
whether the ground is rough or too hard for him. He is quite an elderly
doggy and has several health problems, although his vet, Cyril, is
marvelous and is keeping him very well with necessary medication.
But the bootees seem to have given Reilly his confidence back too
with his walking - he used to tread quite gingerly and ice and cold
conditions made things very worrying for him and Wyn. She says how
easy the bootees are to put on and that the length of the legs support
him even more. We cannot find anything like this over here - Wyn had
a real job finding a coat for Reilly - so we are all so very grateful
to you. Wyn is going to show Cyril the boots when he next visits Reilly
and is also going to take some photos of Reilly wearing them.
Thank you again so much and with my very good wishes,
Yours sincerely, Mary Finegan

Dear Neo Paws:
Thank you so much for sending me the two sizes of dog boots. I truly
appreciate your willingness to put the extra effort to accommodate
my needs.
My dog Louie, also appreciates having the larger size boot for a more
comfortable fit.
I would also like to thank the woman at Neo Paws who helped with my
order. Unfortunately, I do not have her name, but her customer
service was outstanding !
Thanks so very much for your service.
Truly, Kerri Malinowski |

I was reading an article in Dogs Today, the April
edition about German Shepherd Dogs with C.D.R.M. (doggy multiple sclerosis)
which is the same condition as Khan has. In this article they were
saying how difficult it was to find suitable protection for their
feet, if not impossible. I know that if we had not found you
we would not be able to take Khan out at all. Then he would not
build up any muscle on his back legs and would then not be able
to walk at all !
With kind regards
Lesley and Khan |

Thank you for asking. Yes, we would like to order
another pair. Your dog-boots have high quality, and we are very
happy to make my dog wear those. As we told you before, our dog
has back problem and he just had second back surgery. Every time
he walks, he drags his legs. Without dog boots, his nail worn down.
It is very painful for us to see his bloody legs. So, we are appreciate
for your boots.

Roanna,
I've been looking at backpacks for our Vizsla (hungarian pointers)
over the past year or so. My biggest concern is that my dogs take
major tours through the woods and the bulkiness of most backpacks
on the market concerns me. My dogs rarely walk by us on the trail.
I like the slim line of the saddle bags (most of the backpacks stick
out 4-6" from the side of the dog on each side). My dogs eat a very
concentrated low-volume food. so there's plenty of room to carry their
food and treats for a couple night backpack trip - which will be the
normal trips we do.
Thanks very much - service with you is fantastic! I enjoy doing business
with you. Anne Murrock

Dear Roanna
Hello how are you? well I hope. I'm sure that your weather is much
better than ours at the moment! We are having the most awful storms
and floods. Khan and I paddle about in the garden with him trying
to find a spot not under water to go to the toilet on! Anyway almost
a year on we still have him thanks to your boots. It would be totally
impossible to manage him without them. I also have a harness to support
his back legs as we walk.
With kind regards to you Lesley and Khan

Roanna,
The shoes arrived just in time! Two days ago, we received 12" of snow.
Last night another 12". Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday
and the shoes worked great. The adolescent greyhound's speed
was not the least bit diminished by the shoes. She ran for almost
15 minutes (at full speed) in our fenced-in back yard and didn't notice
in the least that she was wearing the shoes.
Another success story for NeoPaws!
Kind regards, Barb Godlew |

Dear Neopaws,
Hello, my name is Tim Beatty. My wife and I recently bought 4 shoes
for our 1 yr old lab, Bocco. Unfortunately Bocco was hit by a car
last spring and suffered a fractured left hind leg. The Vet was able
to pin his leg however he lost feeling in his foot from a pinched
nerve. Bocco gained his muscle back but he was dragging his paw under
and landing on the top instead of on the pad. Bocco's paw then began
to get raw and infected. We thought that bocco was going to need an
amputation. My wife and I tried everything . We tried
taping his foot up w/ medical tape but by the end of the first hour
it would be torn off!. I even tried gel splints, and ace wrap. Then
one day my friend recommended "Neopaws." We ordered the high performance
dog shoe knowing that Bocco would need a heavy duty shoe because he
is so active. A couple of days later they arrived. It took a
while to adjust, but Bocco soon learned to like his new shoes. After
a while we noticed that he was not landing on the top of his paw anymore.
The shoes WORKED!! His infection went away, and the pad is growing
around now. I just want to say that we LOVE your shoes
!
Sincerely, Tim, Maggie, and Bocco |

What GREAT SERVICE!!!!! Thanks sooooooooooooo much.
The boots really help.
My Labrador Retriever has grass allergies and when I use the boots
her reaction is cut down tremendously - Thank you for such
a good product!!!

I've had Kitty Kollars that have a snap that comes
undone to shorten the collar through the loop.
If these are that kind, I would prefer them. If they are not, that's
okay. They are great collars and the only ones that my cats can
wear. I cannot find a distributor in my area so I'm glad that you
have them. thanks

Just a note to tell you that I received my order for
the all season dog shoes. I love the way they fit and they are
easier to put on. I have a pair of Muttlucks but they are somewhat
difficult to put on my dog's feet. The Neo-Paws shoes open and
the dog can easily slip his foot inside for a snug fit. I really
like the high tops. You would be surprised how many people stopped
their cars to look at him. You should pass some of your
flyers in Quebec where the weather has been quite severe and the roads
are salted.
Satisfied customer,

Dear Ronnie, Thank you
very much for giving me a Neoprene coat! That is so generous
of you!! Is it possible that we get the coat in red? Red
is our family trademark color :-) As a matter fact, Jaq's raincoat
is doing great. But the Neopaws logo is coming off. Jaq
wears it all the time and he plays in the snow with it. He also
wears all his gear to York University (where I go to school) because
I bring him to school all the time. There seems to be more people
bringing their dogs to school ever since I started bringing Jaq.
Of course!!! Jaq will for sure be wearing
the Neo-Paws gear! He will be wearing your boots for sure since
he will be doing the whole parade route. If we get the Neoprene
coat in time, he will wear that instead. We really love that
coat.

Dear Ronnie,
Our dog when she was 6 months old got hip dysplasia and had two surgeries
for it. Everything went well but at home she couldn't stand
up because she slipped away on the floor all the time and she became
very afraid to walk. So we had to look for solutions.
One of them was placing carpet where she was the most but that wasn't
enough to keep her up all the time, she had to go out too and couldn't.
We had many sleepless nights over it till i thought of finding her
dog shoes so she wouldn't slip anymore anywhere.
We tried some dog shoes that we bought here in Belgium but they were
not satisfying me nor her. So again we kept looking and
I found Neo-Paws. The end of all problems for her and the end
to sleepless nights for us. So I just wanna help people with the same
problem and convince them to use those shoes because for us
they are the best so I think there are many more cases like me.

Ronnie,
I just wanted to tell you that your High Performance shoes are the
best!. Three years ago, my hyperactive Terrier mix suffered a spinal
injury that left his rear legs weak. When we walked, he would
stub his toes on the cement and they would bleed. I had tried
every shoe that I could find in the pet stores and catalogs, but some
of them were destroyed before the end of a 20 minute walk! Then
I discovered your High Performance shoes. Charlie has been wearing
them for almost 2 months now, and there is barely a mark on them.
They are worth every penny and I recommend them to everyone
who asks. Thank you so much.

Hi, Roanna,Thanks so much. Poor Willa has horrible
late-summer allergies. This is the second year now. We've tried all
sorts of things to help, working with allergists, dermatologists,
homeopaths, raw foods, etc., over the past 2 years. She reaches her
back feet (she's managed to become quite the contortionist) and the
tips of her front ones and has been licking and chewing them bloody
when no-one is looking. We tried a couple of other boot styles last
year, but they were so flimsy and awkward on her feet. And she hated
them and spent all her time chewing them off. I really like the look
of your boot design on the web site, so we are very hopeful. Keep
your fingers crossed for her! And I'll let you know how they work
in protecting her paws through the rest of Willa's allergy season.
Sincerely,
Lynda Burstein
We received the shoes and put them on immediately! Willa hated them
at first, but after about 10 minutes of pawing and trying to get them
off, she settled in. We went for a long hike on Labor Day and she
did just fine, trotting right along. And best of all, of course, with
the neopaws on, she can't chew her paws bloody. You should have seen
them before we got the boots. Even with the e. collar on, she was
still able to reach the tips of her front paws and, with some
creative stretching, her rear paws. They were chewed pretty badly.
Thank you for making a boot that saves her paws. We only wish we had
found you last summer! Ah well, better late than never!
Thanks so much, Roanna, for the speedy delivery and , so far, a very
successful product!
Sincerely, Lynda |

HI Ronnie:
I am sending a picture of my dog Sophie wearing the neopaws life-vest.
When I put the neo-paws vest on her, she didn't even notice it!!
She loves retrieving sticks, and as soon as she got in the water she
suddenly noticed she could float. It was funny to watch as she stopped
all the dog paddling for a moment and seemed to enjoy just floating
in the water. She now uses it to enjoy the coolness of the water without
all the effort of paddling all the time.
The importance of having a life-vest on her, became apparent when
we had her out to open sea in our boat for the first time ..She had
no idea how deep the water was, as she was up to this point, only
use to slowly walking into the water from a beach. My husband and
myself had no idea that she would just suddenly jump overboard in
open sea!! The waves were fairly rough, and because she is only
10 lbs to begin with, the waves started washing over her, and we had
to act fast to pull her from the water by using the convenient handle
attached to the vest.
It is definitely the best purchase I have ever made for her and needless
to say, she will be wearing her life vest whenever she is around any
water from now on! I was so pleased with my life vest, order I also
bought the rain-suit. She has worn it many times here in St. Johns
, Newfoundland< there is a rumor that we actually make fog here>
and it was great. For the first time ever ,I actually walked my shih
tzu in the rain and she didn't require a full bath when she got home.
Thanks for taking the time to read my letter. Denise

Hi: Thanks so much again. Hobie
has been swimming several times with his life vest on. He loves
it. When we go clamming in the bay the water is shallow...but
not shallow enough for him to touch ground. He does not care
and jumps in anyway...he thinks if they can do it so can he. Hahahahha...after
a few minutes of swimming around...he looks up and lets me put him
back in the little boat!!!
Thanks again....and God Bless you All! Karla &
Hobie |

Dear Ronnie, I just wanted to send
you these great pictures of Jaq. We took these pictures at various
festivals in Memphis, Tennessee where my family resides. As
you already know, we bring our Jaq everywhere we possibly can and
we always make sure to wear our Neo-Paws outfits! Each time
we go somewhere with Jaq all dressed up in his Neo-Paws gear, people
constantly inquire about where to get the stuff that Jaq is wearing.
The weather is extremely sunny, hot, and humid in Memphis and the
Neo-Paws hat was extremely helpful in providing shade for Jaq. But
most importantly, the hat helps in avoiding heat stroke/exhaustion
for Jaq. Everyone we passed either with or without their dogs
asked us where we bought the hat because it looks much better than
most hats they have seen. They also say that the hat is very
fashionable and looks very cute on Jaq. Ever since we got the
hat, we make sure never to let Jaq out of the house without it, especially
in the summer.

Dear Neo-paws, I go backpacking with my humans every
year. One year we could not find neo-paws in time for the trip
(my humans can be very last-minute). I had to wear shoes that
fell off every hour or so. What a pain! But this year, they
found your web site and called and had them delivered so promptly
that everything was just fine and we had a wonderful trip.
Your shoes are the only ones that will stay on my feet through the
rigors of off-trail hiking up and down ski slopes, snow fields, and
talus, and across rivers and through prickly brush.
Thank you so much! Gypsy

Hi Roanna, I received your shoes yesterday! Well done!
Thanks for this very quick shipment, and many compliments for your

I'll let you know next progress.

Hello Roanna and Neopaws staff:
I just wanted to let you know that we received our order just fine;
and the boots are wonderful for our dog who sadly, is slowly going
lame. We are very pleased with the quality of his new "tennis shoes"
(!) and we show his shoes off to everyone who comes around!
He wears them very well, and they are not difficult to put on or pull
off. They are just PERFECT for keeping his dragging paw
as healthy as possible through this difficult time.
Thank you very much for all your help, and for making such a great
product. Many thanks to Roanna, who patiently guided me through choosing
the correct shoe; I could hear the compassion in your voice, and your
concern that we got the shoe that was just right for our dog. Many
thanks again, and may you all have safe and happy holidays.
Sincerely,
Annamarie Keck and "Barnee"

Roanna,
Thanks for the concern... definitely want to get this right
the first time if possible.
The dog has cancer on her right rear foot. She (Samantha) had
radiation treatment in June and is
missing hair on the bottom and top of her foot. Because of this,
she gets acorns, sticks etc. in between her toes. I was only
looking for one shoe and thought that 4 of the same size would mean
3 replacements. Do you think she should wear all four shoes
at the same time? If you think that she should wear 4 at the
same time, then her front paw is definitely a large, but the back
ones are in between a large and medium, leaning more toward the large.
(Better too tight than too loose?) She's 24 inches at the shoulder
and 70 pounds. Thanks for the concern, makes shopping with you
a much better experience. (A real person and all)

This is just to let you know that my dog, Angel, has gone to be with
the angels. She had a beautiful life, and I will miss her forever.
Your boots helped her to get through a debilitating injury and to
have more years of joy, so I thought I would let you know. I
do not plan to get another dog...at least for a long, long time, but
will let others know about your product
Sincerely,

Roanna, No they don't fall off. They are plenty
roomy, but if I pull the strap real tight they stay on pretty well.
Of course he doesn't know how to walk in them very well yet, he walks
like a trotter bringing his feet up real high, I didn't know dogs
could do that with all four feet. Thank you for hanging in there with
me, I sure appreciate all your help and understanding.

Roanna,
I met you near my home at Queen & Dufferin last year and I remember
you telling me "my coats are the best ones made; they're neoprene".
At the time I thought it was quite a boast but having had Molly wearing
the coat for over a year I can testify that your coats are in fact
the best.
Molly has worn her blaze orange coat virtually every day from Sept
30 through April 30 and it still looks great. Considering that Molly
is a rough and tumble 135lb Great Dane that spends a lot of her time
with me fly-fishing (standing in the rivers) , and hiking it's amazing
the coat has held up that well. She also wears her coat on her doggie-daycare
bus trips
as well as to High Park where she spends most of her time wrestling
with other big doggies.
The Neopaws coat is tough, highly visible, waterproof, warm, requires
no maintenance and is form fitting. No other coat would have lasted
1/4 as long as your coat has.
Here's a picture of Molly down inside the Elora Gorge...

Hi Roanna,
You helped me fit my Shiloh Shepherd, Koby, with a pair of high performance
boots last fall. Until just recently, here in Illinois USA,
we have not had too much snow this winter, but the yard has still
been a wet mess much of the time. I am now a big fan of dog
boots. I show friends pictures of Koby in his boots, and when
they say "boots, you're kidding?", I tell them they are the
best thing to come along in a very long time, and I will never
have a dog without boots again! No longer am I breaking
my back toweling off wet, muddy paws, and wiping up wet muddy floors.
It takes just a minute to put the boots on, and when Koby is done
running around outside he comes in and all I have to do is take off
the boots. If there is any cleaning to do it may be just a quick
rinse under the faucet and we are good to go again. I am a true
believer that boots are not just for sled dogs or search dogs, they
are for every dog! Boots are not just for the dogs, they are
for the dog owners! |

Dear Neopaws,
I am sending you this e-mail to let you know how much you have helped
my pets. I first used your neoprene booties on my first Bouvier, Shadow.
She had hip dysplasia and found it difficult to get up on the ceramic
tile flooring in our house. She happily used them daily until she
succumbed to cancer at age ten. My second Bouvier, Panda, now wears
them and is appreciating the traction they give her on the tile floor
since she has the same condition. I had looked in all my local pet
stores and found other types of dog booties but none compared with
the quality of Neopaws. When you love your animals and they have a
chronic, debilitating disease it breaks your heart to watch them suffer.
I know that your product improves the quality of their life and lets
me enjoy them for a longer period of time and for that I will be eternally
grateful. Thank you for making such a high quality product and making
it available for a reasonable price.
Sincerely,
Susan Vendola |

Hi Roanna,
You probably thought that I had forgotten you. Well you have
probably forgotten me but I haven't forgotten your kindness and helpfulness.
Have been traveling to Colorado Kansas All the states in between seeing
old friends from days gone by. Spent 8 weeks on the road and
have been busy here. But I said I would send you a couple of pics
of the old friend of mine Buddy P.Chesapeake he is such a lover he
walks fair but he still drags his hind legs. So the Neopaws really
help him from dragging his knuckles or toes joints and loosing skin
and then becoming raw and bleeding when he is outside. I only put
them on him if we go for walks just out the door for a quick nature
break in the grass don't worry of course the grass is not like the
asphalt or concrete in places that we cross on or journeys.
Well, Roanna don't want to take up all your day for you to read this
I would crack a joke for I really like them ha ha ha ... But hey you
have been really great to deal with and I would recommend these shoes
to any body that has animals they are really great boots properly
fitted and tightened around the ankles....
Thanks again Roanna for your help,
Chris & Buddy P. Chesapeake |

My dog has a sore paw (she gets blisters between her
pads) and I have recently purchased a set of 4 dog shoes from you.
They have been invaluable and have improved her walking to no end.

Just a comment on your exceptionally fast service.
I ordered three life jackets on Sunday May 12. I received them on
Tuesday May 14! Wow. I am very impressed by the service
and by the life jackets . The dogs tried them on and they
all fit quite well - now - can you do anything about these cold temperatures??
We really are anxious to get out in the boat and try our new jackets
out! (that was from Morgaine, Gilmour & Olivia). So, thanks again.
I will be sure and recommend you to anyone looking for dog goods
- vests, boots, etc. Bye for now.

As for my experience with the restraint it only took
Missy a couple of times with it on, and after a minute or so she accepted
it readily. She tries to shake it off as she does a lead with
a slide catch which she will shake off. The catches on the harness
are really strong, having given them a good pull to prove them.
Driving around with her, she is much more subdued than before when
someone had to hold on to her or I just tied her to the window crank.
That method is not very secure at all. She seems more assured
of her surroundings probably because of the secured feeling she has
with the restraint on. Now I can take her to the Vet.
or to a forest preserve for a
hike with the assurance she will be safe. Thanks so much
for your fine and innovative products.

Dear Ronnie,
I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how much I love your
Neo-Paws Dog Boots. I purchased the Regular Boots about a year
ago for my West Highland White Terrier, Chloe. I have to tell
you that I have tried just about every dog boot on the market and
yours is definitely the best I have seen. Here is why I like
your boots:
1) They are soft and flexible and mold easily to the dog's foot.
Others I tried are not.
2) My dog has dew claws and the way you have designed these
boots makes it possible to
bypass that area when strapping them on. Other boots I have
tried do not have that capability and my dog started to limp from
the pain of the dew claw rubbing against her leg. Chloe can
run and play in these boots without pain. Thanks!!
3) I also like the traction she can get with these boots.
Other boots tend to be somewhat slippery.
4) I use these boots all year round. It is nice to come
in from taking Chloe out to go the bathroom when it is raining, snowing,
or whatever and not have to clean up water or mud from my floors;
not to mention how nice and clean her feet are.
Thanks so much for making such a wonderful dog boot. I have
just purchased a second pair for her and I am sure I will be back
for more in the future. I have enclosed a picture of my Chloe modeling
her boots. Keep up the good work!
Most Sincerely,
Heidi Nickell |

Dear Ronnie,
Oliver's new rain suit arrived Friday, just in time to wear in all
that rain we have been having. And the hood that attaches is great.
Oliver looks absolutely fabulous in it and loves prancing around in
it and it fits perfectly. You wouldn't believe how many people
stop me and can't believe this great rain suit he is wearing.
He is the hit of New York City. Upper Eastside. It also keeps him
clean and saves me a lot of time on his grooming since he is a handsome
Bearded Collie with a beautiful coat and is always well groomed.
I have him groomed every two weeks so you know I am totally neurotic
about the way he looks. I do tell everyone that stops me to
call you or email and to give my name or Oliver's.
Thanks so much,
Faye Litwak |

To all the Neo-paws staff,
Thank you so much for your help with our urgent request for some
performance boots for our Dalmatian. Since we had all that
snow a few days ago, he has not wanted to go out for a walk because
of the painful cold on his paws. I was amazed that after only
speaking to you yesterday, we received the boots this afternoon.
We tried them out straight away and after being a little unsteady
for the first few steps, he has already found that he can now happily
go for a walk, whatever the weather. He is even able to run
around and play in the park as
usual. Thank you so much, the boots are perfect.
Very kind regards and Happy Christmas,
from Joanne & Jeff (and Dante the Dalmatian!)

Aloha Roanna-
A big MAHALO to you and the people at Neopaws!
I received my booties yesterday . . . Thanks for the speedy delivery!
However, I am having problems keeping the booties on straight. I ordered
an XL for Willie, a golden retriever. You had called me earlier,
which I really appreciated, to confirm the size but I guess I chose
the wrong
size . . . his paws aren't as chunky as I thought it was . . .I am
going to clean up the XL pair and see if I can exchange it for a L
pair. The video to put it on looked so easy . . . I guess it
helps to have a well
trained dog that stays still . . . ha ha!

These boots are the best! Everyone I
show them to think they are far superior to the Muttluks. I
have to agree, the other "boot" seems more like a "sock" whereas,
the Neo-Paws is a real dog boot that stays on .
The Muttluks fall off easily and tend to turn on the dog's paws. Mindy
loves the new dog boots and she's been wearing them to Taylor Creek
park daily. She plays stick and ball just like she didn't
have any boots on at all. I show them to everyone I come across.
I would like to know locally who sells them. I advise people
to look you up on the internet.

Roanna,
The shoes has arrived. They fit and they are as great as you described
on internet - the NIKE shoes but for dogs.
Really good shoes. I never had any doubts about that!
Thank you so much for your willingness to find a solution - very kind
of you - really warms my heart! But I don´t want you to lose
money on a product (already with a 20% discount). With some hard work
I have managed to find a solution to pay for the high performance
shoes.
Tina
P.S. I hope you will continue to sell your products and work for animals
for a long time in your future! |

I received today your dog's shoes; they are incredible!
I will use it as soon as possible on the snow with my irish setter
and then i'll mail my impression.
Thank you,
Fausto |

hiya Ronnie !
Curly is wearing his boots and i am loving you for them!
Any kind of specific maintenance re getting them salt free after being
outside? Should i get the high performance for frisbee in the snow
(packed and kind of icy) or do you think he won't slip in these?
They rock... good promo too cause he looks so fine in them> : )
Dug them out cause of all the salt.
thanks!

Hi ,
A year ago I ordered 4 boots for my dog, he was 16 then he has since
passed away am so sad to have lost him but so glad to had him just
wanted to say thanks for your boots he wore them very well as long
as he could. He succumbed to a brain tumor 7 weeks after his 17th
birthday..Attached is the last photo of him the day before he started
having catastrophic seizures.....He seemed so happy and I am sure
he was but I guess his time was up..... Thanks again for your concerns
and the best boots available....
Sincerely Chris |

Roanna,
I absolutely love the shoes and the seat harness because they are
the only thing on the market that actually fits my very tiny dog.
I really don’t understand why major retailers such as Petsmart
don’t carry your products. Wilson C |

We are very sad to tell you that Ruby is no longer
with us As she was very old and sick, our vet. assisted her passing
to avoid further, inevitable pain. A truly gentle creature, she gave
as much love as she received, and we loved (and still love) her dearly.
There will be a big hole in our hearts for a while, but we believe
she is one of God's "children," hence she awaits us in "good hands."

Hi, just FYI, received the extra-large Neopaws. They
were really too big for our Beardie, so I re-tried the size large
on him and was successful. Instead of returning the extra-large,
I'll keep them as well, as they are a good fit for our other dog,
a Bouvier.
Thanks for such a good product -- the guys LOVE their boots!

Roanna,
After much trying on, I will keep the 1st pair of shoes you sent me.
The second pair I requested, that you sent me with the purple
coat/jacket are definitely TOO BIG. I would like to return the xl
shoes and the pink/orange coat/jacket to you.
I want to thank you for working with me on this, it has been a pleasure.
I definitely wouldn't hesitate to refer more customers to you, in
fact I already had someone in obed. class ask where I got the purple
coat. I told them it was in Canada (Neopaws), and you were great to
work with.
Thanks Again,
Jane Miller |

Attached is a picture of Muffin using your suit to
keep her dry in the big mounds of snow. Although we got only 6 inches
of snow, 6 inches is huge for her. She absolutely loves to dive into
snow, but without the suit her long hair quickly gets clumped up with
snow, ice and salt. She'll then come back inside looking and smelling
like a wet rat. With the suit and shoes after a while in the snow
she comes back only a little damp around the face and feet.

Dearest Ronnie,
I wanted to comment on the wonderful lifejacket you created
that we had a chance to buy for our little shih tzu Jaq! Marvin, Jaq
and I are avid canoeists and a lifejacket for Jaq is a must.
Marvin and I love the extra chest piece for extra buoyancy and security.
I know dogs are natural swimmers but you can never be too safe.
These two pictures attached were taken at Earl Rowe Provincial Park
where we went camping and canoeing this past summer. I wanted to send
you these pictures to so that you can see Jaq is super happy and comfortable
wearing all of your Neo-Paws gear.....including the wonderful and
stylish baseball cap! |

Hi, the insoles arrived yesterday. They do make a
big difference! (I had my doubts when I saw
how small they were!) Stormy's feet practically swam in the boots
before I put in the insoles. Now they are still not snug, but the
fit seems reasonable. The baby sock I was using as a liner is now
optional, not mandatory. Thanks for sending the insoles!

Dear Neopaws Staff, Our boots arrived exactly one
week after I ordered them and we are
pleased with the construction. They appear to be a very sturdy boot.
Our English Springer Spaniel has allergies, which affect his paws.
They are easily cut or chaffed when he walks on the asphalt or encounters
any ice. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Kaye

Dear Dolly:
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately my eldest Bouvie, Panda, had
to be euthanized on Feb. 4th. due to the her pain from Hip Dysplasia
which no longer could be controlled with medication.
She is sadly missed. However, I have 2 other Bouviers. One is free
from ND and the other has
HD. She is not at the point of needing Neopaws but one never know
when that will happen. I
KNOW that Neo- Paws helped us keep Panda longer that if we didn't
have then since it helped her get traction on our tile floors. For
that you have my enduring gratitude. I would like to get info on the
summer version of NeoPaws so I am informed and will be able to get
them for my other Bouv when she needs tnem.
Sincerely, Susan Vendola-Harrison |

Hi Ro,
It was my pleasure to write it! I was thinking of you this afternoon
as I was booting up the pups, my yard is now a half acre of disgusting
mud and I did not care! I knew they would have clean paws! I cannot
tell you what a pleasure it is to let the pups out now, I know that
my house will be mud free!
I hope to hear from you soon,
Caren, Fletcher and Jamison |

Ronnie,
The neopaws really protected Madison's paws. I took her canoeing on
the Current River in Missouri, and she swam or ran on the rocks for
12 miles with no paw damage and they also never came off. .........
............
I am just making suggestions in how the shoes could be improved.
I know that none of the other shoes on the market would have performed
as well in such extreme conditions.
Thanks,
Brandi Williams

Hey! I wanted to let you know that we received
the shoes this week and we used them for the first time today
at the pool. Allie (our Golden) tolerated them very well!
She's never really liked her feet messed with, but she was soooo
good while we were putting them on her. She walked like a Tennessee
Walking Horse for a few minutes (which was hilarious!)...
Once she was used to them, she was swimming like an old pro
though! This has been a lifesaver (for
her) - she would not have been allowed in the pool without those
shoes - so I know she's a tired AND happy camper tonight! Thank you
for all your help and for calling to verify that we were ordering
the correct size. The personal attention is a great plus!
Thanks again! We'll send along as many referrals as we can!

Hi Dolly and all,
Just wanted to let you know that the size large shoes fit my dog Lance
just fine. We went on a dog walk fund raiser last saturday in Mission
Viejo, CA and several people asked about the shoes. I handed out brochures/flyers
to them! It was a warm day so I'm glad Lance's feet were protected.
There was also a "pet communicator" there and according to her Lance
liked his new shoes especially on the pavement!
I was also on the Santa Monica pier Sunday with Lance. He had on his
shoes and again several people asked about them so I gave them flyers
too! I'm so glad I got them because although it was a beautiful day
the asphalt pavement was very hot but Lance trotted along with no
discomfort!
Thanks again for your assistance in getting the size to me I needed.
I'm also looking forward to receiving the life jacket I ordered. We're
going to Catalina Island in few weeks so Lance will have all his great
gear for the trip.
Sincerely,
Kellie Welsh |

Hi Ronnie...I am in Colorado for a month so will not
be getting my mail until I get home on July 15th...
Bodie wore booties on his front paws today..one of his pads is badly
damaged from all the hiking we have
been doing..the booties made the difference...he was able to hike
with us all day instead of staying home...they
stayed on in streams,mud, fields of high grass...terrific!!!
Hope all is well with you and that business is going well.
Best Wishes, Donna Novak |

Bonjour,
j'ai bien reçu les botes pour Firguisse, elles lui vont vraiment
bien. Il lui est presque aussi facile de courir avec que sans. En
tout cas il s'y habitue très vite. Je suis vraiment rassuré
car il doit prochainement affronter des plages ou il y a souvent des
morceaux de corail.
Merci beaucoup !
Cordialment,
Christophe Nicol. (France) |
