My white English Bull terrier can't walk on gravel, gets blisters on her pads in hot weather, and does not like to walk on snow. Is there any way I can harden or thicken the skin under her paws?

have you ever thought about getting little shoes made for your bullie? I know some petstores here sell shoes for dogs.. I would suggest talking to your vet

Take the dog for more adventurous walks such as in a wooded area, and let it get used to the different textures, longer and harder walks should toughen the bulls paws and get it in top condition

our english bull is exactly the same and has had loads of operations to try and help her but in the end we found the easiest option is to just stick to the grass! but for the blisters put them in salt water and they should clear up in no time!

i always walk them near grass, so if they get tired of the concrete they can just step over. my bulls' paws are still soft, but they can walk for a good hour on and off the concrete

my white bully is just the same. not a lot can be done. but we do walk her where there is grass, in summer we take her to the sea. it does wonders for her feet having been swimming.

its easy to take care of pads, use lotion, like hand lotion. also build them up with time, slowly. most important make sure the nails are trimmed properly. hey jaswinder, this 230lbs White Boy would destroy you, i promise.

Wow, I've found the idiot corner! :D Not you, oh brave soul on such a noble quest, but the conniving little goblins barring your path. o_o Anyway. I'd ask a vet or breeder and possibly go with the shoes. xb

when you walk your dog is there any tarmac pathways . if so play tug with him or throw a ball his pads should harden up over time its also a good way of filing his nails.try in damp conditions so its easy on the pads at first.
