Clean and remove debris.
Rinse the wound with cool, clean water.
Apply antibacterial ointment.
Gently massage an antibacterial ointment into the wound to prevent infection.
You might also experiment with boots specially designed to protect healing paws.

To help heal your dog's paw pads, you can apply a bandage to contain the wound, using non-adherent gauze pads to cushion the bottom of the foot and absorb blood. The gauze padding will also decrease the pain of walking on the foot. Use mild antibacterial soap to disinfect the wound. Your veterinarian may recommend applying an antibiotic ointment to the burned foot pad and bandaging the paw. Daily bandage changes and close monitoring of the injury are important. If the wound continues to bleed or gapes open after three days, visit your veterinarian who can provide antibiotics and pain medication to promote faster healing.
