Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes you can put little socks on his feet, however the risk to Tobi is that he won't like it, will chew and eat the socks and get an obstruction in his gut. I recommend having a place/towel/bed for him to go on instead if he prefers, and he can self-regulate the temperature of his feet. Do not tape socks on as this can cause severe damage to the foot by lack of circulation. Dogs get this very easily. Best of luck with Tobi!
