Is your furry pal in need of dog pad moisturizer? The answer is more than likely yes if your dogās paw pads feel scratchy or rough to the touch. Think about your feet, when your soles get rough and start catching on the sheets ā you apply lotion. Your dogās rough paws may be more cause for concern; common causes of dry dog paws are different than dry human feet. Dry and rough paw pads are often caused by exposures to certain toxins and underlying allergies, not just lack of moisture.
Causes Of Rough & Scratchy Dog Paws
-
Irritation from certain chemicals or toxins
- Anything from garden sprays to carpet cleaners and deicers could be the culprit. Since dogs tend to chew on irritated paws they end up ingesting whatever chemicals they come into contact with, which is pretty scary if you think about it.
- Allergies, dog allergies commonly cause itching of the skin, ears and paw pads.
- Hyperkeratosis, especially in older dogs
- Regular exercise or play on rough surfaces, hot asphalt, ice, sand, etc.
