SORE PADS
Does anyone else have problems with their dogs feets ?
I have 2 dogs right now that their pad are complely tore up.I have looked at their pads closely and do not see a thing in them.
I have been running them pretty hard trying to get them tuned in so I can hit a trial here and there. I sure hate to lay them up.
I have been using Pad-Heal on them already. Also trying to keep their pads dry when we are not running.
Any suggestions would be appreciated..........
Thanks in advance...........

Ever try Bag Balm? Used on cow teats but works great on pads.Jim

Soak their feet in pickle juice for a few minnutes every day for about a week

Yup beat me to it....
Sounds Funky but it Sure Works!!!!
Alabama john posted that on here a few years back, I tried it And have used it Since!!! REALLY WORKS......

One of my little males has been laid up for almost 2 weeks. He usually gets sore feet a few times a year, this was the first time this season.

u have to lay them up before u cause long term damage. if u are not carefull u will screw there feet up and will be fighting this promblem as long as they live.

Thanks for all the replies.....
It just happens to be the two I was getting ready for the trials
Thats the way the cookie crumbles sometime
