You are out on a hike with tough hiking
boots and after a long day on a rocky trail your feet are screaming
at you. Did you ever wonder how your bare-footed dog manages
out there?
A dog's foot pads are composed of several
layers of keratin, a harder form of skin cells. You can actually
build up the toughness of your dog's pads. If you have a big
trip or hike planned you can treat your dog's pads in the weeks
before with a product called Pad-Tough. It is a botanical product
with aloe and comfrey. It comes in a spray form and simply coat
your dog's paw pads liberally before any rigorous activity. A
four-ounce bottle cost s between $10 and $15.
