A good friend of mine has a dog that has cuts and drying of all the pads on her feet. She has tried a few different ointments, but do any of you have suggestions?

I thought you were the best folks to ask.

What does she feed? My cat used to have similar problems with his pads and they got better when I put him on a diet with no grain in it. Also does your friend have flagstone's where the dog runs? That can cut up a dog's feet, but usually only once in a while.

Sara, the dogs eat raw and some high quality kibble, but mostly raw. It's Linda, her female just can't kick them.

you know i had the same problem when i first moved out to WA ..... there is less humidity here than VA .... I used a lotion by Neutrogena called Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
it's fragrence free and less of a lotion texture more of an ointment. But it works wonders. I figure if it worked on my feet and lips and hands etc it should work on a dogs paws.

Get Mushers Secret, it is specifically made for paws but also heals most small sores, cuts, and dryness elsewhere on your dog too. It is not sold at petco or petsmart but local pet shops usually carry it.

I agree with above but Bag Balm works good also just have to massage it in real good so the pooch can't lick it off so fast.

if your pharmacy does not have bag balm they should be able to order it for you!
