Clean and remove debris. Carefully remove debris like thorns, nails, glass, or rocks from your dog's paw pad. Rinse the wound with cool, clean water. Apply antibacterial ointment. Gently massage an antibacterial ointment into the wound to prevent infection. Bandage the wound. Wrap the wound with a bandage to protect it and prevent bleeding. Monitor the healing and change the bandage daily. You may have to use a surgical cone and limit your dog's activity for a while. You might also experiment with boots specially designed to protect healing paws. The good news is that even with a dog ripped paw pad or a dog paw pad ripped off not bleeding, paw pads can grow back.
