Pets Peeling & Irritated Foot Pads
Question:
I have noticed recently that my dog’s pads are peeling and look red and raw. What could be causing this?
Answer:
We had a client recently who came in to The Dog Bowl with this problem. After asking the obvious questions like, “Are you running marathons with your dog?”, we started asking about the dog’s daily life. Turns out, the client cleans her floors with a strong detergent and has not been thinking twice about letting her dog walk on them while they are still wet. The detergent was either causing a reaction in her dog’s paws or simply eating away at the pads. Keep in mind that animals (dogs, cats, rabbits etc) are particularly sensitive to chemicals used at home like pesticides, cleaning products, home fragrances. It is up to you to protect them!
The Dog Bowl carries paw care balms that may help soothe paw irritation & peeling. Give them relief with our chemical free grapeseed and green tea moisturizing and conditioning balm - this is one of our favorites (click here).
