Actually not that silly mate, my brother is a dog handler for USAR (Urban Search and Rescue ) They use them when the dog has to go over broken ground, broken concrete , glass etc.Quote:

I called the vet and said to rub Manuka Honey into them to help bring them right, it works but its bloody hard keeping it on there feet cos they smell it then chow down.

poor bugger spends all nite licking them for the next day
Im Trying to find blaze orrange for mine (blaze blue would be mint) but most of them dont look like they would last 5 mins in the bush i hunt.
He had a velcro strap cover and it lasted about an hour.... Being a viszla im shit scared someone is gonna take a shot at him... especialy in sika country during the roar!
If the honey works try a plastic bag over the honey to stop the licking at night???
Over glass etc i could imagine them being a must have....Quote:

Bag balm.
Lion Country Supply is quite good for dog boots etc.
Take the hammer from him. Dogs and hand tools don't mix.:PQuote:

He's blody hopeless , I'll try him with a nail gun instead !Quote:

or if you want to go old school, my boss, when he was a kid, it was his job to dip the working dogs feet in meths, its spose to dry them out and harden them.
I never did try it, I didn't want to when his feet were raw, and once healed never worried about it. mines just a pet and isn't suppose to run his feet raw.
A mate uses meths on their pads.
I use the booty thing's from Welcome to www.realdog.co.nz A good kiwi company in Ranfurly that make their own gear......
Rawleigh's Golden Salve? A friend's son who was a brickie used it for his hands when they got cracked and sore.
air dried sheepskin in the dog box.... warm and the lanolin dries the pads out.
