Cracked/split pad

We noticed spots of blood all over the kitchen floor when dog came back from his morning walk - checked his pads and he's split the big pad on one of his front paws. I've washed it and it's stopped bleeding. He's not limping and it doesn't appear to be bothering him but I'm worried about it getting infected. I'm keeping him at home for the rest of the day but he will go bananas without exercise tomorrow. What's the best way of treating this quickly?

If it's superficial I would wash it out with hibiscrub or salty water and maybe put something on to stop it being licked. If it looks better tomorrow you could cover the wound with a plastic bag ( not so tight as to cut of his circulation) and go for a lead walk. Wash it out again tomorrow. If you are worried in any way, call the vet.

Thanks tiger - he's not licked it at all so far so I'll check it again in the morning
