I never looked at his paws unless I suspect something. I saw paw prints and some smears of blood (not a horrible amount) so I found the source (between his toes) and cleaned it up. I think he stepped on something as we just came home from a walk.

After looking closer I could see under his nail on his one paw this. Instead of a smooth/flat surface it looked like this.

Ive never noticed it before to ask the vet about it but its doesnt bleed and he doesnt show signs it bothers him.

Come winter I will rub Vitamin E cream onto each pad once a week as I find they crack more in the winter. What do you think? Is there a better product I could use?

The photos are sharp and clear but I don't see anything unusual.

Ok so maybe its just me being a worry wart. I dont look at paws all the time so when I see something like that I kinda was like wth? lol

they might be a little rough up toward the top, but nothing to worry about.

Both my boys have sandpaper paw pads.

Looks fine to me too. Recently Ike cut his paw pad, a slice that bled pretty freely for a few minutes than stopped. I cleaned it and had the Vet look at it, thinking it might need a stitch or two. She said pads heal fairly quickly and not to worry, no stitches.
