dog with sore paws

[sallyrowe]

My three year old beagle is suffering with sore paws during this wet cold weather, espe ecially when she has been walking in the fields around my home. I thought of putting vaseline on her paws before going out. Does anyone have a better idea?

I used to have Shaws Paw Wax for Shaney .

this is the stuff. I used to use it on my dogs when we were city dwellers

Your idea might be the same as a vet would recommend anyway. My friend's English Setter was behaving very oddly (as if really agitated by something) after returning from walks during the cold weather. The vet put it down to the salt on the roads and recommended bathing the dog's paws with warm water and then using vaseline before future walks.

The alternative solution would just look silly ;-)

This bees wax hand and foot cream is absorbed by the paws far better than paw wax.

Its also good for your own hands and feet - I bought some at the end of last summer and my feet were very sore and cracked from getting wet taking the dogs out. It has dried them up and the skin is smooth now. Never thought of using it on the dogs though Jules!

you could also try some udder cream used to stop cows getting sore its get for horses as well and good for hands

Chris's alternative solution is not really silly...particularly for dogs with skin problems,or those reacting to salted surfaces.

Yes Lankeela, I have the face cream too which is excellent. I saw on their website people had used it on dogs paws.
