Healers Medical Dog Boots and Bandages, X-Large
A named brand knit paw boot with gauze pads for indoor use, not for wet walks.
We bought ETIAL Dog Paw Wound Recovery Boot, Waterproof, Anti-Slip, XL. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a well documented paw recovery boot from a known brand, sold on Amazon in XL, though it is breathable knit rather than waterproof.
The short version
- Owners told by a vet to keep a paw covered while the dog moves around the house
- Large dogs in the XL size range
- You need a waterproof boot for rain, snow or mud
- Your vet has fitted a hard cast or splint
- You want a boot for hiking or rough trails
What owners like
- Lets a dog move around more freely than a cone
- Gauze inserts make it easy to keep a dressing in place
- Washable and reusable
Common complaints
- Not waterproof, so it is less suited to wet or muddy walks
- The strong Velcro can be hard to undo
- Some dogs manage to pull the boots off
- Costly if only needed once

What it does
A set of two breathable knit dog boots with Velcro straps, rubber soles and non-stick gauze inserts, sold to cover a sore or injured paw; reviewed here in place of the waterproof ETIAL XL recovery boot it resembles.
- Wraps around the paw and closes with Velcro
- Gauze insert sits inside the boot against the paw
- Rubber sole for grip on indoor floors
- Sold as an alternative to a cone for keeping a dog from licking a paw
- Reusable boot with replacement gauze pads available
A reasonable choice if a vet has asked you to keep a paw covered indoors and you want a named brand boot that comes with gauze pads and a published size guide. The main trade-off is that, unlike the ETIAL boot, it is a breathable knit boot rather than a waterproof one, so it suits indoor and light outdoor use more than wet walks.

Questions
Are Healers medical dog boots waterproof?
No. They are made of breathable knit fabric and are suited to indoor or light outdoor use.
What comes in the box?
Two boots and two non-stick gauze inserts. Gauze refills are sold separately.
How do I pick a size?
Healers says to trace the paw on paper and measure the width at the widest point, then use its size chart.
Do I need the same size for front and back paws?
Not always. The maker notes that back paws are often a smaller size than front paws, so a second pair may be needed.
