Hello everyone

My yellow lab, Gus has cracked pads on the left - front

I presume that this is due to the frosty ground

Anything I could or should do to help them heal?

Are they bothering him at all???

Mojo seems to always have splits in her pads, but they don't seem to bother her in the least, so I just leave well alone. Rolling Eyes

Tilly's pads are cracked and rough but they don't bother her in the least, so I would agree with Jules and probably leave them alone.

I have put vaseline on them in the past which has helped a little.

Same here, mine have cracked pads, but the cracks never open up or bother them at all, so I leave them alone. Very Happy
