I wanted to post the Wright & Fillipis response to my inquiry. Apparently
there are several places helping to fill the same need. Thank you all for
your responses

I saw your inquiry on the list serve. I had heard on the radio on Monday
they were seeing paw protectors. I came in and designed some. Went home
tried them on a couple of dogs. On Tuesday morning at 6:30 a.m. our
employees starting cutting and sewing and spent most of the day working one.
I have a sister in NJ. They have been shipped to her and her husband is
hand delivering them to the crash sight. We made them out of neoprene as
well as leather and found that the dogs were much more receptive to the
leather. I looked commercially and was unable to find them out of leather
(many other materials though). There are about 300 dogs on sight and 150
that won't wear anything. We hoping that the leather fill a need that isn't
being recognized. We felt this was an area our profession may be able to
add some expertise!
