Called "Blue Foot Pad Conditioner". Used by gun dog owners for years. Also works great for concrete runs.
Good luck....

Why do you want to toughten up a dogs pads?
by Silbersee on 14 November 2004 - 20:11
Brittany,
dog owners want to do that, so they don"t bleed on rough concrete, gravel, or in the winter in icy conditions. Dog's pads are sensitive. Just imagine you would walk around with blisters on your feet, ouch!

Yeah but doesn't that increase the possibility of the pad cracking to the point of bleeding?
by Silbersee on 15 November 2004 - 01:11
No, I think toughening up means thickenen them, not drying them out so they crack. Just like our feet. My little 3 year old could not walk barfoot on gravel, but adults can. We have thicker skin under our feet.
