Your dog’s paws endure a lot—rough terrain, hot pavement, and cold weather. At Doggy Dreams Pet Care, we understand the importance of paw care and offer professional grooming services to keep your pup’s feet in excellent condition. Here’s how you can maintain healthy paws at home.
Regular Paw Inspections
Check for:
- Cuts or cracks
- Foreign objects (e.g., thorns, pebbles)
- Signs of infection (redness, swelling)
- Any unusual odor or discharge that may indicate an issue
Proper Nail Care
Overgrown nails can cause pain and posture issues. Trim nails every 3-4 weeks or schedule a professional grooming session. Long nails can lead to discomfort and even joint problems, so keeping them properly maintained is essential.
Moisturizing Paw Pads
Dry, cracked pads can be painful. Use pet-safe balms to keep them soft and hydrated. Massaging a balm into your dog’s paws can also provide relief and relaxation. Avoid human lotions, as they can contain ingredients harmful to dogs.
Seasonal Paw Protection
- Summer: Avoid hot pavement, which can burn paw pads. If you must walk on hot surfaces, try to go out early in the morning or late in the evening. Consider dog booties for extra protection.
- Winter: Wipe paws after walks to remove ice and salt. Road salt and de-icing chemicals can be harmful, so cleaning their paws after outdoor activities is crucial.
- Rainy Days: Mud and wet conditions can lead to infections if paws aren’t cleaned properly. Always dry their feet thoroughly after a wet walk.
