If your dog has burnt pads from walking on hot surfaces, you may not be able to see the burns straightaway. However, your dog may seem uncomfortable, they may be lame, or they may lick at their paws or become upset if you try to look at them. After a short time, the surface of the pads often starts to look patchy and you might even see pink blisters or areas of inflammation in dogs with pale pads. The tough, outer surface of the pads then dies off and you’ll see flaps of skin start to peel or lift away from the pads, leaving a soft under-layer. Although your dog’s pads are quite tough, they are susceptible to getting burnt if they’re exposed to extreme temperatures. When a pavement is too hot for you to walk along comfortably with bare feet, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
