I've never had a dog with such rough paw pads like Hayden has. They actually hurt when they get along your skin. Is there anything I can use to help them out a bit? I don't mind them being hard but hers are just so painful to us! lol For once it's not the nails.. it's the pads..


Also are all goldens so clumsy?? She cracks us up but man.. she's worse than I am! lol

Riley was lanky and clumsy...He was all feet and legs. I think he finally grew into them. Haven't really noticed his pads though.

I'm interested in any advice here, b/c Murph's paws are really rough too. They scratch our skin, esp. on the kids. His nails are fine--it's the pads that are killer!

Try rubbing them with Bag Balm. It was originally made to massage on cow udders.

I agree with the bag balm

They make a balm to put on pads to soften them up.

awesome thanks.

Glad she isn't the only one!!

I would figure after a year old they would know how to operate themself lol She doesn't think the couch has an end to it either. I can't count how many times she has fallen or has just about fallen off of the couch lol

It's,actually a good thing that his pads are hard and rough!.He will have a lesser chance to get hurt and cut them!.

Merlin's are pretty rough too, but it's mainly the side edges that scrape our skin off!

I would be afraid to keep BagBalm on their pads to soften them though...they need those pads kinda rough and hard to protect themselves, right?

I do know what you mean, my Rusty just kills my bare legs when he his pawing at me.. (which GR's LUV to do!)
