Yes, sled dogs wear boots for paw protection. Wearing boots protects every part of their paws, and prevents injuries and discomfort. Dogs also wear boots sometimes while training for races.

Sometimes, if the sled dogs are wearing booties to protect their feet from the ice and snow, one can observe them lying in the straw, nibbling away at the Velcro bindings to remove their booties.

Sled dog veterinarians and mushers pay close attention to the dog teams' foot care.
