Guest verthib Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was hoping for some advice on what other folks use for their grey's cracked foot pads. I heard bag balm is good but I've never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamsmom Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Bag Balm or sometimes Corona hoof cream.

racindog Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think I would get out my Tuf-Foot and hopefully toughen them up so I wouldn't have to deal with cracks. www.tuffoot.com is their addy but kv vet and other places have it cheaper. Bag balm would surely help but I don't know if it would cure it. Would not use the two together-one would counteract teh other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFlaca Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I second Tuff Foot; great stuff. I found it cheapest at Gun Dog Supply. http://www.gundogsupply.com/?utm_nooverride=1&gclid=CM25jrzHyqwCFQpb7Aodv2mmaw Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl.

krissn333 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Pinky gets bag balm on her feet and then she wears baby socks. We usually do this every Sunday.

Guest verthib Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Love the socks! Thanks everyone! I will try the bag balm first and if it doesn't work I'll try Tuff Foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schultzlc Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We used to put Udderly Smooth Udder Cream on Phantom's cracked feet. Udder Cream I know it sounds a bit weird, and it may show my Wisconsin roots, but it works wonderfully! It's also great on human skin too!

GeorgeofNE Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I wonder if these products would help Gary not slip and slide on my kitchen floor... No, but rubber backed throw rugs will! Bag balm is sort of like Vaseline with lanolin in it (and some other good stuff). You don't want it on your floors. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

brandimom Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Our holistic vet also recommended Kerasal and it has made a big difference already. We do it two times a day but she will not tolerate socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snoopycomehome Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 We also use bag balm and toddler socks with tape. Dragon gets boy socks and Gypsy gets girl socks. We usually just leave them on at night while they are sleeping and air out during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vagreys Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Another vote for Bag Balm. I've used it on my cracked heels too. It's great stuff. It has lubricants and medicinal properties also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
