Is it just me or is seeing a dog wearing shoes just wrong? I used to be horrified by all the dogs here that wear clothes (and hats, and sunglasses and raincoats etc etc) but I got used to it. My guess is one in three dogs I see walking around are wearing some kind of outfit (So far the best one was a dog dressed in a matching pink jogging outfit same as the owner!) But shoes?
Why? The dog I saw wasn`t limping of anything…and its legs seemed ok (I thought maybe the shoes were because it had problems with its legs or feet perhaps) but nope, I think the owner just decided to put shoes on his dog.
There are shops here that sell only dog clothing. I mean not just shops for dogs that sell everything from clothing to collars to leads etc…I mean shops that sell ONLY dog clothes. The first time I saw one I thought it was a shop for baby clothes..then I realized my mistake!
If you google shoes for dogs about a million sites come up. I guess shoes for dogs are in at the moment….

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
heh heh – to stop his feeties getting dirty so he can come inside straight away!
Although my families dogs could use some – they make the worst noise when they lick between their toes – our old dog used to lick and bite until his foot bled (he was a little nutso!).
I must confess, I love small dogs in clothes! I am all about tiny stuff and cute stuff so a combination of a tiny dog in cute clothes is mind blowingly awesome to me
Dog shoes on the other hand…they just aren’t really cute, and I’ve never seen a dog who seemed to remotely enjoy the feeling of walking in shoes.
I figure if you can put a dog through the trauma/humiliation of having to wear a costume, let him have bare feet!
They had dog only stalls in Korea at every single market, I LOVED them.
that is SO wrong… the poor thing!!!!
