Ddog is very active and loves nothing more than haring about in the woods at top speed, ideally with a swim included too.
However he seems to have ridiculously delicate paw pads - after getting back from a two-hour walk this morning I realised he was licking his back paw and there's a big split right across the large pad. He's had several of these over the four years we've had him and I'd really like to get to grips with this. What's the best way of preventing and treating split pads? Obviously if they're infected we take him to the vet.
He has about 25 minutes lead walking on pavements in the evenings on the way to and from our local park which I hoped would toughen up the skin but obviously not...
