Anyone who has ever put rain boots or winter boots on a dog knows that they aren't always the biggest fans of wearing footwear. And, this hilarious Chihuahua's reaction to new boots will further support this theory. Check out the viral TikTok video below.
The Chihuahua's Reaction to New Boots
As you'll see in this viral TikTok, sometimes pups don't know what to do with themselves after feeling a new sensation on their paws.
The clip of this Chihuahua trying on boots was posted by the_albatross9. It currently has over 1.4 million views and is captioned with, "Louie wasn't a fan of his new boots,".
But why the new boots? As it turns out, the owner found the perfect pair of booties, meant to protect those little paws from the biting cold of the winter season.
The owner happily shares that the boots pose no discomfort to the Chihuahua and are completely safe for the dog.
Superb gymnastics skill, never-before-seen walking style... all because of a new pair of boots. How's that for entertaining?
A word of warning: You might want to turn down the volume if you have kids in the vicinity, as the pup's owner uses some choice words after seeing the crazy Chihuahua's reaction to new boots.
Viral TikTok Makes the Rounds Online
Have you ever seen a Chihuahua, easily one of the tiniest breeds of dogs, displaying such incredible agility? The question isn't rhetorical. We're talking about a level of prowess that would make a seasoned gymnast look twice.
Viewers are just as delighted as Louie's family with his funny little walk. Van said, "Those boots weren't made for walking." @lynnettebass0 loved the clip, saying, "This was the funniest thing I have ever seen!"
@texasrealestatebroker also hit the nail on the head! "Please put that dog to work; I think he's got a great future." Why not, right? If architecture, fashion designing, and CEO positions have gone to the dogs before, why not let Louie strut his stuff in the corporate environment?
He's already mastered the art of catwalk… or should we say dog walk, in his new boots! Perhaps a boot endorsement deal is in his future? All hail Louie, the hard-working, sharp business Chihuahua, stepping into success with his new, fancy boots!
Oh, and you have love when someone notices something special in a video that isn't the main focus. @Krista noted: "We're not going to talk about the lady's matching Chihuahua pants!"
After watching the video again, she has a point. Those pants are epic. Who else thinks Louie needs a tiny pair of pajama pants to go with his fancy boots? Seeing him in matching garb would take things over the top.
Is It OK For Chihuahuas to Wear Clothes?
"Can your spirited little Chihuahua pull off a trendy ensemble or warm boots?" you might find yourself wondering. Let's set it straight: Yes! Dressing your tiny fur babies isn't just permissible, it's widely beneficial! Especially when the weather turns a bit nip.
While it may seem unusual to some, dressing up our furry friends, especially smaller breeds like Chihuahuas, can offer multiple benefits. Let's take a look at some of the key advantages:
- Weather Protection: Chihuahuas have a low tolerance for cold and may shiver in lower temperatures. Clothes can provide necessary warmth and protect their delicate skin. The boots help protect small paws from frostbite and other cold weather pitfalls.
- Disease Prevention: Some clothes also offer protection against pests and bugs, especially those that might transmit diseases.
- Adorable Expression: Clothing can make your pet noticeably charming, turning heads and raising smiles.
Before you invest in some fashion for your pup, make sure that the boots and clothing fit well. Too tight, and it may restrict movement and cause discomfort. Too loose, and your pet may trip over.
When it comes to materials, you should always go for hypoallergenic ones to ensure your pet doesn't suffer from any skin allergies.
And, clothing should provide comfort, not discomfort for your pup. If your dog appears to be straining, remove the boots or dress and try something else.
