For burns on a dog's paw pads, treatment depends on the extent of the burn on the dog. If a burn is severe, the pet should be taken to the veterinarian immediately for care. Often, the paws require a bandage. Because paws are dirty—they are the first point of contact with the ground—most veterinarians will prescribe antibiotics. Dogs with burns should have their exercise restricted, and wounds should be monitored multiple times a day, if not in a bandage. Hot pavement and rough surfaces or terrain should be avoided, especially when healing. Some dogs may require a splint to further decrease mobility and allow the wound to heal.

You can wrap your dog’s paws to prevent licking, or you can apply a soothing pet-friendly balm to reduce discomfort, speed up healing, and deter licking. And even if your dog continues to lick at paws with the Paw Soother on, it is perfectly safe to consume these dog-friendly balms. They’re all made from natural and organic plant-based materials. The second you notice your dog’s paws are burned, or your dog showing signs of discomfort, run their paws under cool water or apply a soothing cool compress. If your dog remains in good spirits but their paws are sore or mildly burned, it’s time to treat the problem before it gets worse.

If your dog has burnt their paws then contact your local vet immediately. Your vet may treat your dog’s burnt pads in the same way as sunburn and they may advise that your dog wears dressings or dog boots until their pads have healed. During their recovery, keep your dog on cool, comfortable surfaces and keep their wounds clean. In extreme conditions in the winter, you could consider using boots to protect your dog’s paws. If you need to take your dog out in hot conditions, keep them to cooler surfaces, such as grass or shaded tracks. Contact your vet for advice if you can see any signs that your dog has burnt their pads. If your vet recommends that you take your dog in to have their injuries checked, don’t walk there, as this would lead to further damage and pain. Instead, drive or carry your dog there, as appropriate.
