[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 272557, member: 1233"] Udder Balm is certainly useful for this. The lab we had as I grew up with had this problem. Nothing would wear her nails down. And the pads themselves would get so rough and scratchy that in winter they would bleed. I had really great luck with ointments that would create a barrier between the dog and the world on the pads. Plain petroleum jelly works fine. If there are ANY signs of cracks in her pads then put a VERY thin layer of triple antibiotic ointment on them. It is esp good if you can rub it in for a minute or so and then put another ointment over it. A friend of mine has a mutt with this problem and I started taking over 100% pure shea butter and it was hugely better than udder balm or vaseline. It seems to melt in better and be more healing. I get it from ebay. NOT the body butters in stores, I am talking about 100% pure shea butter. [/QUOTE]
