Dry, rough pads on feet
Hi Everybody!
Sugar's pads look rough and dry. They are not sore though. How do you all take care of your terrier's feet?

Re: Dry, rough pads on feet
I don't. The Minkies' ones are dry and rough too. You don't want them soft.
The groomer clips the hair between their toes though.

Re: Dry, rough pads on feet
As they get older it is normal for their pads to get rough and hard, it protects their feet. All you really need do is keep them clean, and the hair short between their toes. Keep a close eye on them for cracks or cuts, in which case a little Bag Balm works wonders.

Re: Dry, rough pads on feet
It's the greatest stuff...It's an ointment that Dairymen use on their cows udders when they get chapped or injured, It has very healing properties. I have used it on my dogs for years and it's the best on hot spots. I have even used it on diaper rash with exellent results. Very soothing and softening.

Re: Dry, rough pads on feet
This is from the can it comes in.
Active ingredients..Hydroxy Quinoline sulfate 0.3% in a petrolatum, lanolin base.
I don't think it's anything like neatsfoot oil. It is made in the US and possibly is not available over there. Try a Farm store or your pharmacy. Here's a web site for you..I see you can buy it online.

Re: Dry, rough pads on feet
Like evryone else says, they dry out with age. Things to watch are the fur between them. Bobby's got matted before and cut his pad, it was really sore.
