PawPlunger to clean your Corgi's dirty feet before letting him/her inside the house.

Just fill the PawPlunger with warm water and plunge each soiled foot into the plunger once or twice. Let the water and the soft, deep cleaning bristles do the work. Dry off with a towel.

Speaking of paws, Bubba has some rough pads that may seem smooth if you stroke them one way but rough as a dried out corn cob if you go the other way. Is there something to soften the pads? I don't suppose they bother him but, I don't want them cracking open either.

I think Duchess's pads are that way too. I'll be interested to see what this question's responses are. June

Charlie's already gotten little abraided pads from playing on the concrete patio and running in a few patchy of stiff weedy grass way out in the back.

Here in Texas, we use Bag Balm for just about anything chapped, chafed, abraided, cut or scraped. It was originally a ranch cure for chafed cow udders, but has many uses in softening and soothing animal skin. I need to pick up some myself!

[Jane Austen]

Yeah, even up here in the Northeast we use bag balm for lots of things. I haven't bought any lately and decided not to when I saw the price. I think vasoline would work just as well.

Dogs feet pads respond to the kind of conditions they experience regularly. So if they have a lot of hard (concrete, asphalt) surfaces to walk and run over, their pads will toughened up accordingly ie become more abrasive. Nothing wrong with abrasive pads. What you don't want is a Corgi with bleeding and sore feet. My Corgi often runs easily over river shingle, stones and rocks - he would have difficulty with this kind of terrain if he had softer pads.

Bubba's feet primarily are on either carpet or grass other than when we go for walks or are out and about. I had thought of putting what they call here, "Corn Huskers" and that would probably soften a brick and would probably dry into his feet quicker than anything else-especially if I put some on him while he's lying on his side (favorite position) as he'll lie there for twently minutes and let me rub his ears, play with his feet, belly rubs, etc. That may be a viable alternative to try.

[Michael Romanos]

I definitely consider it better to harden a Corg's feet (pads) rather than soften them. They (the pads, feet) have a job to do and not just look pretty and pink and soft.
