Taking Care of Fido’s Paws Think about all that your dog’s paws allow him to do; run, jump, walk, scratch, climb… the list goes on and on. Keep your canine companion’s paws as healthy as possible with these tips from a veterinarian Las Vegas, NV: Paw Check Sit down with your dog on a weekly basis to give each paw a thorough once-over. Check for anything that looks out of the ordinary, like scratches, split nails, items stuck between the toes, or objects embedded in the paw pads. Let your vet know if you find something that looks like it needs attention. Nail Trims Regular nail trims are important for Fido’s overall health—when a dog’s nails get too long, they can start to affect a dog’s gait. Nails can also fracture and split painfully. Keep them properly trimmed with a set of canine-specific nail trimmers, or schedule an appointment at the vet’s office to have nail trims taken care of for you. Paw Pad Care Don’t let your dog linger on hot asphalt surfaces like roads or parking lots; paw pads can burn easily! Try using a paw-pad balm to keep your dog’s pads smooth.
