thin paw - Page 1

somebody who know what to do with thin paw. This summer sudenly the dog got thin paw, cant cycling he got injured must take it easy all time, know its over one month he paws are thin and soft, strange. Somebody for advice to get back shape of his paws.

Goran,
How far have you been running him and how old is he? Is it possible you have been running him too far on hot pavement?

Give him a rest and use Friars Balsam daily on his pads it will help to harden them up.

thank you very muck for d answer, he is 2 years old and this summer we were abroad south europe, yes Ive been running and it was high temperature, Ive been running for example 3 times a week 4 kilometers on a asphalt and couple of times we were on beach every day (mostly sand beach but there were sharp stone too). We were 2 months abroud. What do you think can it possible be that this is cause. The balsam where can I buy it ?

best regards

I thought that might have been your problem.

Friars Balsam comes in a small bottle holding about 20mls of liquid and can be bought in a pharmacy or if your are in the US I would guess a drug store.
I bought some for 1 of my dogs for the same problem. I applied it with a small artists paint brush and painted it on the pads twice a day for a week.

Good luck with him

It is used by hikes to harden their feet before going on long hikes
