To heal your dog's paw pads, clean the wound and look for debris or foreign objects such as glass or metal shards that may be lodged in the pad. If the foreign object is located where you can easily grasp it with tweezers, gently remove it. Use mild antibacterial soap to disinfect the wound. Control bleeding by applying pressure to the wound with a clean towel. Apply a bandage to contain the wound, using non-adherent gauze pads to cushion the bottom of the foot and absorb blood. Change the bandage daily and keep it dry by taping a plastic bag over it when the dog walks on wet grass. If your dog has a burned foot pad, soothe their pads by soaking the foot in room-temperature water. If the pads become discolored or if the tissue under the pad becomes exposed, contact your veterinarian. Daily bandage changes and close monitoring of the injury are important.

Cleanse Gently: Use a mild pet-safe cleanser to clean the affected paws, removing any debris or dirt. Cool ‘Em Down: Soak your pup’s paws in cool (not cold) water for about 5-10 minutes. Tender Touch: Gently pat the paws dry with a soft towel. Paw Balm: Apply a natural paw balm containing soothing ingredients like aloe vera and coconut oil. Cool Water Soak: Repeat the cool water soaks a couple of times a day to keep your pup comfortable and encourage the healing process. Pet-Safe Ointments: Some pet-safe ointments can be used under veterinary guidance to promote healing in mild burns.
