Sore paws

Woody, who is a cross, has always had very thin, soft skin on his paws which makes him very prone to injury. No matter how much he is walked on rougher surfaces, they never seem to toughen up. Is there any product I could try that could help him avoid cut pads? I now try to avoid road exercise as it makes his paws so raw. I'd heard that there was something owners with dogs in snowy climates apply to their paws to stop them getting sore. Does anyone know what it is called or any other things I could try?

  1. Hi
    I think that you may be thinking of Mushers Secret Paw Wax, unfortunately I don't know where you can get it in this country, you may be able to get it from an American/Canadian site if you google it.
    In the mean time I have had mega success with Pawzs disposable dog boots. They look like party ballons, but Bertie (who is very sensitive) is happy to wear them and they stop him grazing his knuckles in the long grass. I order them on line from www.canineconcepts.co.uk.
    Good luck
