My dog's paw pads are cracked. How to fix and use Mushers Secret?

Question

He has cracked paw pads. When we got him he was an outside dog and now he is inside dog unless we are running errands he is in the dog run. He goes for walks. Lately we have been putting Mushers Secret once a week he finally trusts us not to hurt his feet and will wait calmly. It has gotten better but still has a few cracks. How can we fix this? and how often for the mushers secret? Our puppy has been using since a 8 week old and no cracks her paw is far right.

Thanks for using PetCaoch! I can’t tell for certain without looking in person, but Timber’s paw pads actually don’t look serious to me. Shallow cracks are not a concern. If they are deeper, bleed, or seem to hurt him, do the Mushers secret every 2-3 days. If he’ll tolerate it you can also try a dog bootie for protection during walks (many dogs hate these). You can also skip walks for a day or two (if he won’t go crazy) to give the paws a rest. Best of luck to you and Timber!
