Does anyone know brands of shoes for Shihtzu? He’s 5 months but his paws get sore whenever he goes for a walk. I’ve even tried applying petroleum gel but he ends up licking it. Any advice on paw care? Thank you!

Hi Pooja! Is there any redness or swelling or itching in the paw? Asking just to rule out any potential infection or allergy or an underlying conditions being the reason behind it.

Hello! He’s not got any infection but his paws are dry after a walk which makes it difficult for him to walk normally. He’s 5 months and has started going on regular walks.

He does scratch a little post the walk and I use wet wipes to clean his paws. Is that ok?

Dry paws could be due to dry air or hot/cold weather or walking in rough hot pavements. So you can apply coconut oil or vaseline or paw balms (Paw Naturale or any all natural paw balms) before and after the walks and instead of wipes you can wash the paws with warm water and dry after the walk. Also do regularly check the area between their toes in the paw for any injuries or foreign objects which can help in preventing paw infections from developing.

But if you observe any redness along with swelling and pain then do get him checked.

Thank you. I’ll monitor and get him checked if the pain doesn’t subside for him.

My dog 1yr lab has been given dewarming medicine and anti rabies vaccine on same day on 24 April. He was also travelled more than 500bkms on 23 and 24 April. Since then he was not active and eating anything other than treats. What should I do ?

My 1.5 years old golden retriever hates eating his meals. He used to eat well before but recently he walks away from his food and we have hand feed him. When we give him ragi, chicken/mutton rice, snacks etc he eats them on his own otherwise he never touches the food. We feed him organic freshly made food everyday with some pedigree. Is this something we should be worried about?
