But what we often miss are their paws. Paw pads are easy to overlook simply because they\u2019re out of sight most of the time. But if your pet is exposed to extreme conditions or abrasive surfaces, paw pads can become damaged. Below are three common scenarios that compromise paw pad integrity, along with some simple things you can do, like addressing cat and dog nutritional needs, to help them recover faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Extreme Cold:<\/strong> With winter just around the corner, pet owners should remember to be careful in extreme cold. Temperatures below freezing can quickly cause frostbite to the paw pad. Frostbite is like a      burning of the skin&#8217;s surface, so initially it&#8217;ll turn black and then become inflamed and irritated. Frostbite will start off numb but will eventually cause pain and discomfort. If you notice your dog or cat      \u201cdancing\u201d around after a walk out in the cold, it might be suffering from frostbite, requiring a visit to your veterinarian.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extreme Heat<\/strong>: Summer heat can cause heat stress in dogs and cats \u2014 but it can also be very damaging to their paws. Dogs are typically more exposed to extremely hot surfaces because they follow us wherever we go, whereas cats usually determine their own path when they\u2019re outside. When we walk our dogs, our footwear provides a layer of protection between our own feet and the hot asphalt or cement surface. That means we sometimes forget what that same experience is like for a dog. You may think that because a dog or cat\u2019s paws are hyperkeratinized (i.e., thicker and tougher) and surrounded by hair, your pet can withstand these higher contact temperatures. While these animals can tolerate harsher conditions, they\u2019re still subject to contact burns, which are not only painful but can cause permanent damage to their feet. When you\u2019re walking a dog on a hot summer day, watch it closely for discomfort and allow your pet to walk in the cooler grass as much as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sand, Chemicals and Salt<\/strong>: Sand can be abrasive to pads, wearing away the thick calloused tissue and cause irritation. Chemicals (e.g. many ice melt products) and salt may damage soft tissues of the footpad and interdigital space by causing chemical burns. While your pet\u2019s footpads are relatively tough, the interdigital spaces have thinner, more sensitive skin that can be prone to irritation. If your dog or cat walks on treated roads or surfaces, wash their feet to prevent issues with their pads \u2014 and to prevent them from licking off the chemicals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-signs-should-i-look-for-paw-pad-issues\">What Signs Should I Look For Paw Pad Issues?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive\ngrooming of the feet is the first sign you should look for in both dogs and\ncats. It may just be a hair mat, an obstruction between the pads, or something\nlike a thorn, but if you notice excessive grooming, you should investigate. An\nanimal acting light-footed or wanting to lie down more than normal may also\nindicate paw pad issues that require attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet\nowners should routinely evaluate paw pad integrity to make sure the pads are\nsmooth, plump and healthy. Pads that are flat, dry, cracked and\/or irregular\ncan be signs of not only nutritional deficiency but other problems in the body,\nsuch as disease or infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-benefits-of-trace-minerals-and-how-do-they-help-improve-the-recovery-of-pet-skin-tissue\">What Are the Benefits of Trace Minerals and How Do They Help Improve the Recovery of Pet Skin Tissue?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zinc plays a key role in the production of healthy skin tissue, especially in the hyperkeratinized tissues of the nose, tongue and footpad. These tougher tissues are very zinc-dependent. The zinc available in <a href=\"\/en_na\/species\/companion-animals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zinpro Performance Minerals<\/a><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> has been shown to enhance the production of healthy tissues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pet is suffering from poor pad quality, you should visit your veterinarian for a routine examination. If you discover your pet suffers from a genetic inability to absorb sufficient zinc or simply has a dietary insufficiency, chelated zinc from Zinpro Performance Minerals is instrumental in helping remediate both in a more timely manner, whereas common inorganic zinc (zinc oxide or zinc sulfate) doesn&#8217;t work well for pets with genetic disorders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calcium\nis also important to the production and maintenance of keratinized tissues.\nZinc is required for activation of the calcium-dependent enzymes in this process.\nMost dogs or cats consume a calcium-sufficient diet, but if they don\u2019t, you\nmight see damaged or irregular paw pad integrity as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manganese,\ncopper and selenium are also key trace minerals that help control inflammation\nin cats and dogs and maintain the integrity of heavily keratinized tissues. The\nbenefits of trace minerals like these are many.<strong><br>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-will-you-see-results-after-adding-zinpro-performance-trace-minerals-to-pets-diets\">When will you see Results After Adding Zinpro Performance Trace Minerals<strong>\u00ae<\/strong> to Pets&#8217; Diets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nreally depends on the severity of the issue. If it&#8217;s a typical irritation\nproblem (no open, active lesions or breaks in the skin), it will still take\nthree to six weeks for true recovery because animals build healthy paw pads\nfrom the inside out \u2014 at the same time, they\u2019re wearing down what&#8217;s on the outside.\nIt will likely take some patience on your part to help your pet get back to\nnormal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-check-your-pet-s-paw-pads-routinely\">Check Your Pet\u2019s Paw Pads Routinely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As\na pet owner, be sensitive to paw pad integrity in your family companion. If you\ncan\u2019t evaluate them weekly or monthly, do it at least seasonally. Just as we\nsee changes in our bodies in different seasons of the year, when low humidity\nand cold winters can dry out our skin, we should evaluate the integrity of our\npets\u2019 paw pads to ensure they&#8217;re staying hydrated and healthy. In the summer,\nour pets spend more time outside, so they&#8217;re more subjected to environmental\nallergens, cuts, scrapes, tears, hot surfaces and even exposure to fertilizers\nand chemicals in our yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make\na mental note to check out the paw pads the next time you\u2019re sitting with your\npet. If you see indications of damage \u2014 or if you notice your pet abnormally\nlicking or rubbing a footpad \u2014 address it right away. Talk to your veterinarian\nand ask if Zinpro Performance Trace Minerals can help you get your pet back to\nnormal faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the benefits of trace minerals and cat and dog nutritional needs, visit the <a href=\"\/en_na\/species\/companion-animals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">companion animal page<\/a> of our website.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspecting your pet\u2019s paw pads seasonally is good practice to ensure their paw pads are healthy.
