:You can buy dog shoes in ski resorts. I don't know whether these would help with the walking but it would save their feet getting cold and sore from any salt that is put on the sidewalks.

Actually sledding dog websites have musher boots, which are probably pretty helpful as such for traction. I live semi-rural and don't have sidewalks (smile!) Just have 2/3 of an acre that WAS buried in three feet of snow, evenly spread. Now it is down to around six inches and much more walkable, so, of course, it is going to snow again later in the week! Thanks for the input, though.
