STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Your dog’s paws do a lot of work and can take a real beating
  • While minor paw and nail problems usually heal quickly on their own, there are a number of diseases and disorders that can directly or indirectly damage your dog’s feet
  • A few of these conditions include yeast infections, mite infestations (demodectic mange), ticks and certain autoimmune disorders
  • If your dog seems preoccupied with his feet or you notice any change in the appearance of his paws or nails, it’s important to make an appointment with your veterinarian
