Question

His paws are getting very rough and hard. Rougher than usual. It seems as if his feet are getting calluses. What I do to soften them? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 months and 19 days old | 20.08 lbs

It's normal that as Boo grows, his paws will not be as soft and become rough and hard. They should be rough to give him traction when he runs, and protect his feet from the ground. You can protect them from the snow, salt, and ice when you walk him outdoors by using Musher's Secret on them.
