We just got back from walking Jesse & Jake and noticed both dogs had raw spots on their pads. They just go shaved yesterday and I'm not sure if they nicked the pads or if it's from just being roughed up on the walk. We've got antibiotic ointment to prevent infection but is there anything that can be put on them to either toughen up the pads or make it heal quicker? Thanks.

Go to a pet store. There are various products available to put on your dogs paws to protect them from abrasion. Especially a problem if you dog pulls a lot on the leash when walking on pavement or other hard surface.

Could be many things. If the pavement is especially hot, shoes will take care of the problem. Since I run my dog with my bike I added shoes after he had sore feet last year. Now, if were running on hard surfaces he gets his shoes.

Bag Balm and cover. Great stuff.

I second the bag balm. Could it be from hot asphalt, or chemically treated lawns? Maybe it's time for booties, like Calvin wears.
