Thread: Dogs paws munted from shingle

I would be mixing up a salt solution and soak his feet in it. You can use a big cup and put him whole paw into the cup. Then make sure you dry between his toes. I think shoof make dog shoes you could use.

You could also thicken up the skin on his pads but that takes a bit of time and can be undone by a couple of weeks on soft ground.
Good luck with the fella
P.S. if after a couple of days of salty water it doesn't look like it's clearing up, mix up a much stronger solution and really work it into between his toes.

Cheers. Forgot to mention we are also doing exactly this with the salt baths. His regular exercise is on grass river banks so his pads are usually not that tough. Might just have to hold him back for longer to stop him getting smashed.
