rough paws

• rough paws niki ducharme Posted : 3/18/2007 1:05:49 PM My dog gets a lot of wear and tear on her pads due to snow, dirt, cement, ect...all the walking and playing leaves her pads cracked and rough. I have searched some things to aid them but I was wondering if anyone had any home remedies to cure the cracked feet?   LIKE 8 REPLIES 443 VIEWS LAST POST TROOPER Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Cita Posted : 3/18/2007 5:36:36 PM I don't know how ideal this is, but I have some of that Neutrogena intensive care hand lotion and I just rub a tiny bit of that on my dog's paw pads. Then I keep him occupied (usually by brushing) so he forgets to lick them and doesn't run around and smear lotion everywhere. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• NicoleS Posted : 3/18/2007 7:15:23 PM I think some people use a paw wax (store-bought, can be found online) or bag balm (the stuff used I think on cows udders or something, but sold at drug stores and the like) to help protect the paws.   Alternatively, you could look into booties for your dog if she would wear them, neopaws and muttluks are two common brands for those.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• the_gopher Posted : 3/19/2007 7:47:38 AM Bag Balm, that stuff is awesome...and a little goes a long way.  People up here even use it on their own hands if they suffer from severe dry hands that often crack and bleed in the winter time.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jjsmom06 Posted : 4/9/2007 12:55:09 PM []I second the "bag balm"... we use it on the greys a lot at the rescue when they first come off the track. It cures everything!  If your pup tries to lick it off, use baby socks to cover it for awhile until it can absorb in a bit... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
