You can buy a product called Protect-a-Pad, but vaseline works really well. You do want to be sure not to overdo it and make his paws too soft - that wouldn't be good either. His paws might be cracking if he walks on sand or salt that's on icy roads, so rinse off his feet when you come in from a walk - that'll help, too.

Musher's secret or Bag Balm could artwork - yet dogs's paws should be somewhat callused and difficult, they don't positioned on shoes so the feet favor to be somewhat difficult to stroll on concrete and mud and rocks and what no longer. they commence softer as pups because the calluses have not equipped up. in the adventure that they were uncomfortable she may be performing like they're painful on your walks, and she or he'd likely be over grooming or over licking, if she is a lighter colored dogs you may observe the fur around the paws turning pink from the saliva. in the adventure that they are cracked and dry, no longer merely difficult, you may opt for to get some thing to observe. And the previous posters suggestion about wiping the feet when they flow out to eliminate the salt is a large one. if you're rather worried i'd exhibit screen the precedence and ask on the subsequent vet visit.

Poor thing. A little vaseline should do the trick.
It's winter, and cold sidewalks can do a number on little paws. You might look into insulated dog boots. It looks goofy as all get out, but they're very good for protecting paws from the cold dry air, as well as hot sidewalks in the summer.

My sister's dog, Rocky, had the same thing and while I was taking care of him while she was in Florida working with the American Red Cross, I added extra oil to his diet and put Paw Wax on them to help speed the process up. The paw wax is messy if you don't follow the instructions on the container throroughly. It is important to massage the wax in then wipe thoroughly! We had waxy paw prints everywhere the first time I did it for him. She was gone three weeks and when she got back he was all healed and he had a shiny coat!!!!

I would consult (a phone call) a veterinarian on this, but in the also use a pet boot to help protect his feet until they heal. Remember that dogs pads do have some cracking which may be normal.

My dog had really cracked paws last year. I put some Curel (or any non scented lotion) on them and then I put some dog booties on so they don't lick it off. Cold weather could be harsh on their feets. Try putting booties your dogs if there's snow and salt outside.

Take vitamin e capsules and cut them open and use the vitamin e in the caplets. Just put that vitamin e right on her paws and it will help heal the pads.

Bag Balm is the best and you can get it in most pharmacies or drug stores. You can put booties on him when he is going outside to protect his paws as well.

Prettybir has the right idea. I used vitamin E oil on my dogs and that works too.
