Road walking. People use surgical spirit on their feet to harden them up should work on dogs but not with sore feet.

Should get a dog with good feet like a Suluki .

go to chemist and and get some alum, mix a spoon of alum and a spoon of salt in a little bucket of warm water and bath there feet in it after road work this will harden of the feet and the skin round the nails. for cut all you need is a bottle of hydrogen peroxide cleaning out nasty cuts and puncher wounds. and for dogs feet when they have taken the skin of the pads when running up roads and on hard ground i use friars balsam and antibiotic powder.Wat i do is get two old saucers and tip a bit of fryers on 1 souser and powder on the other then put the sore pad on the fryers sourer then because it is sticky you put the pad on the powder , I've had dogs that sore but after a few treatments they can but there feet down. for stoppers and little nicks gentian and violet . hope this helps mick/

give them plenty of road walking and if you can take them to the beach the salt water works a treat for cuts and sores and keeps there pads hard if you cant get them to the shore just use salt in the house and steep there feet in it atb

You can get something called 'TUF-FOOT', I got mine from a greyhound and whippet supplies shop but it's also used on horses so you might be able to get it from an equine shop. I used it on my Bull Terrier pup and it's very effective.

never put nothingon my dogs feet apart from salt water and scrub them with a little scrubbing brush to get any shit out of quick round nails i road work mines and they have good feet , built like big soup plates even as pups if iwas going to put apics of pups feet people would think feet like strong andup on there toes feet is bred into them but concrets kennels and road work helps alot
