Abstract: A protective paw covering which prevents damage caused by animal claws is disclosed. The paw covering includes first and second boots which are designed to fit over the front paws of the animal. The boots are secured on the animal by a harness which includes a first set of straps attached to the first boot and a second set of straps attached to the second boot. Each strap in the first set is secured to a corresponding strap in the second set to prevent removal of the boots by the animal. The harness may include an additional strap connecting the first and second sets of straps. The harness may be attached to a collar worn around the neck of the animal.
