ginga john 268 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Try rubbing them with some bees wax hand cream once a day for a fortnight and make sure the dog doesn't stand in its own piss if its kennelled out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waidmann 105 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 is the dog kenneled on concrete? apparently urine and cement CAN be agressive to sensitive feet. i just thought that looking at the cause as well as the cure might be a good idea waidmann Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 What do you feed him on? Some dogs which are fed cereal based complete foods lack fat in their diets: feed animal fat, not vegetable oil and you should see improvement. Since feeding my dogs on raw meat and bones and fat I've never had a problem with cracked pads, and their coats are a lot better too. My dogs spend a lot of time with wet feet due to where I exercise and work them, but there's never a problem. Feet wet a lot of the time can crack too, especially if the diet is lacking.
