Paws for dogs are as important as hands or feet are for people. If a dog´s paws suffer from any injury it will be harder for the dog to enjoy activities like running, going for a walk, or playing in the backyard.
A dog’s paws may appear tough but they can actually be injured. Some common causes of paw problems in dogs include walking on surfaces that are too hot or too cold, running or laying on surfaces that are rough or strewn with rocks. During summer, concrete could turn very hot.
If a dog walks through these hot surfaces for a considerable length of time, blisters or sores could form on the paw pads. On the other hand, walking on icy or very cold surfaces during winter could lead to chapped pads or even an infection. In these cases, doggie booties are a great option to prevent your dog from these extreme conditions.
Cutting regularly the hair between the dog's paw pads also prevents the dog from getting any injury. The excess hair could turn into painful mats or attract thorns.
If your dog’s paws have been injured, it is a good idea to call your vet Raleigh NC.
