Your dog’s pads are one of the most sensitive areas of his body, although they are also quite resistant. In fact, they offer a kind of protective barrier for the legs, since they are in constant contact with the ground. But it is a sensitive part because they are full of nerve endings. For these and other reasons, you should take care of them and take extreme precautions in summer. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to know that in addition to the nerve endings, your dog’s pads also contain sweat glands that allow your dog to regulate its temperature. In addition, it is these same glands that, when rubbed against the ground, allow them to mark territory by impregnating the site with their scent. The sweat glands are responsible for keeping the pads hydrated and moist to prevent dryness. You may notice that the pads play an important role in your dog’s body, so you should take certain measures to protect them in the heat. <\/span><\/p>\n
