Does anyone use cream on their corgi's paw pads? Miss Gambler's are just a little rough and scratchy, and it seems to help, but I was wondering???

I just ordered a product from Drs. Foster & Smith Called "Mushers Secret" It is supposed to Toughen, strengthen and protect your dogs pawpads and is formulated for sled dogs. The lady said it is one of their top selling products and helps protect their paws from salt on the roads(which we have here a lot during the winter time) and also from hot pavement. I am planning ahead since winter will soon be here for us. This is wax based. A 60 gram jar sells for 12.99 There is also another product they sell called Tender Foot cream It is made to moisturize and hydrate rough dry cracked footpads. A 5 oz tube is $5.99 If anyone is interested in checking these out, you can go to www.drsfostersmith.com:) This is a Wisconsin based store. Per the lady, both are safe if the dog licks its paws.

I also thought of getting Milo some nice foot cream but was not sure if it was effective or if he would lick it. Thanks for the advice! I will take a look. I love Dr. Fosters and Smith. We got the dental cleaning pads there.

I have the Musher's Secret also. Protects well. Now I need to have the good doctors send me some de-icer for the fluffy belly fur . . . and out comes the Disney Visa once again . . . I already have some pages folded in the catalog for Christmas presents!

I use ProtectaPad cream from Petco on Miss Gambler and it works great, I was just wondering about opinions and options. ProtectaPad can also be used on dry elbows.

If it 100 percent Aloe Vera (no other additives whatsoever) it is ok whether in cream form or liquid, though I prefer the liquid form.
The many uses of Aloe Vera reminds me of a meidicine that a Catholic Mother Superior Nun (Mother Mary Aubert) produced in New Zealand in the late nineteenth century. It was based on Maori medicines and it cured or treated many kinds of things and you could take it externally or internally. And it worked too and saved many lives. I was given an unopened bottle of the stuff as a gift for doing a major article on Mother Aubert for a national magazine and a metro newspaper. So maybe I'll open it one day and put it to good use - this now near 150 year old cure-all. Incidently, Mother Aubert may one day be canonised a saint. She died at near 100 years old, she stood under four feet 10 inches and her funeral - a public affair through the commercial streets of Wellington - is still the biggest ever attended in NZ.

Would dogboots, like Mutluks, help? You could place the cream or aloe vera on and then the boot for 10-15 minutes to increase absorption. As well as using them when you are outside for protection from the elements. Has anyone used dogboots? Do they work? Do your dogs tolerate them? Do they stay on for long walks? We are thinking about buying them. What are your thoughts?...

I don't have any plastic boots, but Miss Gambler does wear suede booties, and she tolerates them just fine, especially if she gets a feel of the option! (They match her brown suede coat, she is quite the stylish little girl.)
