Dog scraped paw, lost fur, no blood. Should I worry or let it heal?

My dog got a hound in his paw , is it severe or should i let it heal by itself? It has no blood, it looks like he just lost some fur. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | 26 lbs

Hello. This just looks like a bad scrape, but the skin actually looks pretty good. Just watch for any signs of bruising or pain ( he may limp or start licking the area ), but if he seems fine & unbothered by this, then the hair should grow back just fine. No need to do anything at this point. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
