Paw pads hardening
Dog paw pads becoming hard, even to the point of cracking, many owners think it's inevitable, but it's actually not. If a dog's paw pads are too hard, it's actually keratinization!
Causes of paw pad keratinization
1. Dry food - Dry food provides plant-based proteins, which are missing some essential amino acids. This leads to poor metabolic circulation, causing the paw pads to keratinize and become increasingly hard.
2. Long-term pressure - Just like us, if we walk barefoot for a long time, our feet will develop calluses due to prolonged pressure. Dogs can experience this too.
3. Breed - Some dog breeds naturally have thicker and harder paw pads, such as retrievers or hounds.
4. Disease - One of the symptoms of canine distemper is the hardening of the paw pads.
Paw pads rejuvenated and rosy
The cause of a dog's paw pads hardening is actually more related to diet, so no matter what kind of grooming products the owner uses, it won't help.
Raw meat bone diet is made entirely of high-quality, human-grade ingredients, and all the nutrients and amino acids, etc., do not get lost due to heating or processing. Dogs' bodies and metabolism are naturally more ideal, and their self-repair abilities are naturally stronger, so their paw pads won't be as hard. Of course, this is just one of the benefits of raw meat bone food!
If you want your dog to feel like it did when you first met, switch to a raw meat and bone diet soon!
