Its been a long winter up here in the North, and it's been hard on our little friend's feet. The cold snow, sharp ice, road gravel and salt all take their toll on a dog's pads. How does your little guy like wearing booties? I see one on his walks every day. I think he's ready for Spring now too. Do you put any type of balm on the feet to help with cracking? Do you have a favorite recommended by your vet? Simple prevention can help reduce the chance of serious problems:
- Keep your dogs claws trimmed
- Keep the fur trimmed between the toes
- Check for pad abrasions and treat them quickly
- Wash your dog's feet when you get home
- Keep paws moisturized
Imagine your dog's feet like your own - when our feet get cold, sore and blistered they are painful to walk on and it makes us feel miserable. Your dog will be feeling the same way.
