Puppy Paws and Snow..

When Logan is living with us, do i need to protect his little puppy paws from the ice and snow? He is 5 months old and his little pads are still so soft and smooth and dont want to damage him. Should i just put some paw balm on after walkies? What do you guys do with your puppys paws or am i being a little over-sensitive (but it has been around -5 here so far today!)

memphis has been fine walking in the snow and he the same age as logan so think he be fine

it'll be fine the sooner you toughen them paw pads the better really.

Thanks guys! Im sure he'll have a shock when he gets on the snow and ice!!

I know when my Star was little it was the salt and grit that she didn't like, think it was stinging her, she would jump up at me so i would wipe her paws. This year im getting a wax which is for protecting dogs pads from salt, grit ect., she still not liking it when she walks on some of the salt or grit the council put down.. I will find the link and put it on here for you..

Awww probs the texture of the salt and grit she dont like? its quite sharp at times enit ... Vinnie's paws have started getting all rough now after a few days of walkies in the snow! lol

aaww logan is well cute
my buzz is now 14 weeks and he seems to love the snow..he was in the garden the other day trying to eat every snowflake, it was really funny

I've never put anything on paws unless there's a problem with them. If you build up the exercise, even on snow, slowly & gently the paws will roughen by themselves. You'll only get problems if you do too much too soon.
