Ive recently noticed that my bitch's pads are very hard and are starting to spread out to the sides, so she has a sort of shelf on the side of her foot. Ive tried road working, filing soaking and moisturising them to no avail. has anyone here had a similar problem before and if so can you suggest anything i can do to help them get back to normal?
Any help would be gratefully recieved.

You can get paw wax to seal the pads or you can try massaging vasoline into the pads,
