forrest 12 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 does anyone have any tips for hardening up dogs feet.mine do get a bit of roadwalking but not as much as i would like them to have. then just do more road walking , , unless theirs a reason you cant lol ... exercise wise , just walking and swimming for me , they get a mile of two a day on the road,the other half takes them because i am working seriously long hours at the moment.when i have the time i go out for an hour on the bike with them but as i said im away from home alot at the moment. i dont want the condition of their feet to slip,the ground they do alot of running on is marsh land and is soft.its good ground really never seem to get many injuries at all,only problem is when i come to take them on different ground their feet take a hammering.

blacktabs 3 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 pottasium permagnate and surgical spirits mixed as a a dip will harden feet but if there cut just pottasium permagnate in water till they heal as the spirit will really sting them. Which hazel also works but not as good imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

on-point 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 same as in my experience, pottasium permanernate mixxed with meths or surgical spirit, meths on its own also works but not quite as quickly on-point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
