Truelove anti-slip dog shoes review: best dog shoes

The Truelove anti-slip dog shoes are our Best Dog Shoes pick, boots with a hook-and-loop (velcro) closure and a non-slip TPR sole. Unlike the rest of this list, these aren’t for looks. They’re real paw protection from hot pavement, rough trails, and sharp ground.

Do dogs need shoes here?

Some do. Sun-baked concrete can burn paw pads, and rough or sharp ground, hikes, or a healing paw injury are genuine reasons for shoes. Many dogs get by fine barefoot, so buy these for a specific need rather than fashion. When the need is real, good shoes make a clear difference.

How well do they work?

Truelove is a respected dog-footwear brand, and these use a molded non-slip TPR sole for grip and a hook-and-loop strap so they’re quick on and off and hold firm. Two honest catches: the velcro collects dirt on the exposed parts and needs cleaning, and, like all dog shoes, most dogs hate them at first. Introduce them indoors in short sessions with treats before any real walk.

Getting the size right

Sizing is critical: measure your dog’s paw width (and length) on the floor while standing, then match Truelove’s chart. Too tight hurts; too loose slips off. Truelove offers several sizes to dial it in.

Is it worth it?

Around ₱1,300 as of July 16, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s the priciest item here, but it’s protective gear, not a costume. Sulit if your dog faces hot pavement or rough ground, overkill if not.

Who should buy it

Buy these if your dog walks on hot concrete, rough trails, or is recovering from a paw injury, and you’re ready to train them to wear shoes. See how it ranks in our best dog clothes in the Philippines roundup, or read our dog clothes buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

Just want style, not protection? A Bark & Spark Disney bandana (around ₱220) or the Bark & Spark Disney pet tees (around ₱440) are far cheaper looks. More on the Pet Supplies page.
