Hello
Tips for Dog Paw Protection
Here are some tips for protecting your petâ??s paws:
* Inspect your dogâ??s paws regularly. If you notice any small cuts, wash them with an antiseptic soap. If there are large cuts or cuts are bleeding excessively, your dog should see a veterinarian.
* Keep your dogâ??s nails trimmed so they do not catch on anything and tear. If you donâ??t know how to trim your dogâ??s nails, ask your vet to show you, or take your dog to a groomer.
* Watch for hazards in the terrain where you walk your dog. If you walk him in the city, watch for things like broken glass, gravel, and sharp concrete. If you walk him in the country, watch for sharp rocks, burrs, and thorns. If something becomes lodged in your dogâ??s paw, remove it with tweezers and wash the paw well with antiseptic soap. If the wound is large or bleeds excessively, see your vet.
* Frequently exercising your dog on hard surfaces such as concrete can cause sore feet. Applying a moisturizing lotion or petroleum jelly may help, but keep an eye on your dogâ??s paw pads and on his tolerance for the activity.
* In hot weather, donâ??t walk your dog on asphalt or blacktop. Walk him in grassy areas where he wonâ??t burn his feet.
