1/ Hi! I'm launching Wet Coast Paws: a tiny, one-person online shop in the Lower Mainland for winter dog boots made with West Coast winters in mind. Wet, slushy, salty, and dark by 4:30. 🧵

@Pradeep00454385 Negotiating the stick down to a gate-sized option is a skill. Glad he still got to feel like the expedition leader!

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@billygarrett0 Soggy paws and muddy floors, the November special out here on the coast too. A towel by the door has saved me more than once!

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@russellhustIe Light-up collars are such a good idea for dark walks, and a rave dog is a fun image 😄

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@SophiaRoseWhite Ugh, the early darkness is rough! A headlamp or clip-on light makes those walks a bit less gloomy. Spring will be back before you know it 🐾

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@Claretbear Woolly socks season is the best excuse for cosy layers! Hope the dog walk was worth the chill 🐕

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

Boot storage tip: stuff damp boots with newspaper overnight and leave them open to air. Don't park them on a heater. Heat can warp the soles and dry out the fabric faster.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

Mission / Maple Ridge / Abbotsford dog people: where do you go when the dyke trail is a mud soup? Looking for solid rainy-day backups that aren't pure pavement. 🌧️🐶

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

Paw balm tip: if you use one, put it on AFTER the walk once paws are clean and dry, not before. Greasy pads + boots = slipping inside the boot. A thin layer is enough.

@nellandsara Happy Monday to Marvin too! Hope he gets lots of cozy walks and treats this week.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@elpie Enjoy that extra daylight! Those evening walks with the dog are such a nice way to end the day, even if it gets dark again soon enough.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@HSGNiagara Good reminder! Wiping paws after a salty walk is such an easy habit that makes a big difference through a Canadian winter.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

Dark mornings are here for real. If your dog freezes at unfamiliar shadows, shorter loops for a week beat forcing a long route. Confidence first, distance second.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

Four weeks of posting as a tiny shop: the useful comments beat the likes every time. If you've been quietly reading, say hi. Sizing questions always welcome.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@40PlusImmigrant Right? Winter has a way of sneaking up. Stay cozy out there, and give the pup an extra treat from me!

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@PMG2point0 Ha, the Vancouver dogs really did go all out this Halloween. Hope the costumes survived the rain!

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@BobVogel9 @CyndiCaliGirl Rainy morning walks are a dog-owner rite of passage out here too. Hope she gets a good sniff in before the drizzle gets serious!

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

@rebeccastark 4°C and a bit of snow definitely feels like winter to me! Hope your pup enjoyed the walk in that crisp late-afternoon light.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

November question: are you team boots-all-winter, team rinse-and-balm, or team "depends on the day"? Both can be right. Curious what Lower Mainland dogs actually tolerate.

[Dylan @Dylan51681074]

After a muddy weekend walk: rinse boots outside with a hose or bucket, wipe the insides, then air-dry. Don't toss soaked boots in a closed closet overnight if you want them to last.
