Guide Dog Equipment and Supplies:
GuideLights and Gadgets began in early 2012, when ideas first generated a business based on a demand for products to promote safe travel for service and guide dogs and their handlers. It quickly became apparent that many of these products had a more general appeal to owners and handlers of all breeds and careers. And why leave out the humans? GuideLights and Gadgets also carries a line of accessible and easy-to-use “people technology” that enable people who are blind or visually impaired to have fun with easy-to-use electronic products.

Finally! In comes a simple, yet effective product called Pawz, spelled with a z. These are booties that are essentially like oversized balloons. Here’s how Paws Booties work. No, you don’t blow them up. Simply find the correct size for your pooch, slide them and the top portion of the bootie will cling snuggly to their paw. Somebody was thinking when they designed these little wonders. You get 12 booties in one pack. They’re environmentally friendly, disposable and will work in various conditions; especially cold weather and salt. At a price range of $20.00to $25.00, they’re well worth considering. Be sure to visit the size chart before purchasing the boot as they should conform to the doggie’s foot. It’s a good idea to also visit the store locator as not all retailers stock these booties.
