Dog boot

A boot for covering the paw and lower leg of the limbs of a dog, said boot including:

• a. a paw-enclosing portion comprised of a flexible, water-repellent woven material including a bottom, sidewalls and a top wall;
• b. a generally tubular, elongate legging portion, extending upwardly from said paw-enclosing portion, said legging portion having a longitudinally extending closable slit in the front of said legging portion, said slit bounded by oppositely disposed first and second overlappable marginal flap portions and said legging portion comprised of a flexible, non-woven thermally insulative, waterproof, shock-absorbent, and buoyant material and each of said flap portions terminating in a longitudinally-extending free edge that terminates at said paw-enclosing position;
• and
• c. a first adjustable strap fastening means adjacent the upper part of said paw-enclosing portion, and a second adjustable strap fastening means attached to the upper part of said legging portion whereby when the dog's paw and leg are received in said boot, said legging portion is capable of a fastened position in which said flap portions are in overlapped relationship, and said legging portion resiliently embraces said leg and is effective to cushion and protect said leg against impact, to thermally insulate said leg and to increase the buoyancy of said dog.
