Yes. It’s a stretch mesh bandage roll that is wrapped around the leg, foot, etc. Buy on line , as I’ve not seen it in stores.

What I’ve seen with rubber boots is that they often do not fit well and the dog does not tolerate them well. They get lost. Vet wrap is light and conforming.

I’ve had some dogs that do fine with ground cactus buds and goats head stickers but some dogs do not. Some naturally have thicker, tougher foot pads than others.

I carry a bag, actually an old gas mask musette bag, of vet wrap and other dog stuff with me in case needed. The worst are the small ground cactus buds that break off and stick on the dogs foot, then the dog bites it out of the foot then it sticks in the dogs mouth then they try to paw it out, then.... you get the picture. I carry porcupine pliers for that too.
