My dog's pads seem very dry. They are splitting and fraying. Some of them look like old leather.

you can try a product called pad cote its a blue liquid you put on the pads that protects them this should help to heal them your local pet supply store should have it

thanks

I am going through this now and the vet has me soakin his feet in warm water w/ betadine soap mixed in ,he said to soak it for 5 min. 3 times a day and to keep the kennel as clean as possible

Thanks took her to the vet Saturday gave her some clavamox, aleady she seems to be feeling better,Thanks again

My local farm store carries it. I'm going to get some to keep on hand. Thanks!

I also had EMT gel, didn't use it because the cuts were on pads just where it off,but I have use it on cuts on the legs before work great. it works like a glue sticks the wound toghter. thanks agian

Nu-Stock works very well also.

I've used both EMT gel and Pad Kote and they both work well. Only problem is they don't last long.

Leah,
Take care on the use of it for if it is a cut where there is lots of hair if applied to the hair the hair will come out, it grows back of course, but the hair does come out.
