We do have a period table with hoofed or cloven feet. Moo
 
With today's business environment it is a good idea to stay ahead of the curve. People love their dogs. I do mine! Wouldn't someone in the 1700's do the same thing? I was hoping to get some more ideas of dog feet which could be inspired by period pieces. All ideas will be considered not just feet. I am sure everyone is thinking I'm kidding but.
Period joinery should always be used just modern aspects pertaining to relevant topics today.
 
Mike, Excellent reply. I saw this bed  and wondered why we don't have more Egyptian influences. I guess it was the period discovery of Pompeii and not as much the treasures in Egypt. Nice dewclaws. With todays unfoldings maybe we should take another look.  A great bed for catnaps.
