My dog has flat spots on their paw pads. Should I be concerned?

Question

Hello, I've noticed some flat spots on my dog's paw pads. Should this be of a concern?

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

Those could be healing injuries to the paw pad or it could be related to how she walks. Make sure your pet is not licking them as this can make it worse. Certainly you can have your pet examined by the veterinarian and this will likely get your answer at the fastest. Otherwise you should check the feet every day. If they are not significantly improving within a week time, have your pup examined. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
