Magic item compendium has some notes on this on page 219. Basically, if you don't have the area, you lose the slot and are not compensated for it. Horses do not get to wear rings. Canines can.Vorput said:

"One pair of hind leg shoes or mitts -- hoofed creatures wear shoes and creatures with paws wear mitts."
I now have this image of the dire bear on that page wearing booties.

Don't think like knitted foot booties. There are leather pawguards for hunting dogs, they protect the pads of the feet which are sensitive from sharp brush like corn stubble or palmettos but generally leave the toes and claws exposed.mvincent said:I now have an image of bear booties also

Animal Item Slots
Although it's easy to imagine an animal benefiting from magic equipment beyond a simple saddle and a suit of barding, fitting a mount's physiology to the list of item slots available to characters is not an easy task. Try the following variant list of item slots for quadruped animals (and other monsters when appropriate).
One skull cap or helm
One pair of lenses or goggles
One collar
One saddle blanket or vest
One saddle or jacket
One belt or strap worn in front of or over the haunches
One pectoral or harness worn over the chest or shoulders
One pair foreleg bracers
One pair of foreleg shoes or mitts -- hoofed creatures wear shoes and creatures with paws wear mitts
Two rings -- creatures with toes wear rings on the toes and creatures with hooves wear "rings" just above fore hooves
One pair of hind leg shoes or mitts -- hoofed creatures wear shoes and creatures with paws wear mitts
