If the wound isn’t severe, pull out your first-aid pack and begin treatment: Clean the Wound Gently flush the wound with water or an antiseptic, such as chlorhexidine. Gently remove debris, such as rocks, dirt, or glass. Control Bleeding Apply pressure with a clean towel to stop bleeding. Protect the Wound Many pad injuries benefit from a bandage and/or booties as protection while they heal. You can use a disposable paw bandage, like the PawFlex MediMitt, or make your own using a nonstick gauze or a Telfa pad secured with paper tape or Vetrap. If your dog has burned off a small section of her paw pad, a liquid bandage like Nutri-Vet Liquid Bandage Spray can offer a layer of protection. Keep the wound and bandage dry to prevent infection. Allow It to Heal An injured dog needs rest.
