    Actually not that silly mate, my brother is a dog handler for USAR (Urban Search and Rescue ) They use them when the dog has to go over broken ground, broken concrete , glass etc.

    My retriever had cracked paws after last duck opening, 2 days in the water isnt good for them.
    I called the vet and said to rub Manuka Honey into them to help bring them right, it works but its bloody hard keeping it on there feet cos they smell it then chow down.

    Im Trying to find blaze orrange for mine (blaze blue would be mint) but most of them dont look like they would last 5 mins in the bush i hunt.
    He had a velcro strap cover and it lasted about an hour.... Being a viszla im shit scared someone is gonna take a shot at him... especialy in sika country during the roar!

    If the honey works try a plastic bag over the honey to stop the licking at night???

    Take the hammer from him. Dogs and hand tools don't mix.

    Pad Aid from the vets or pet shops. Helps dry and harden split and abraided pads. Aerotete spray (Purple aerosol) from the vets is good too approx $40 for can but valuable addition to first aid kit.

    mine has run his feet raw a few times too.
    I was carrying him outside for a week to do his business.
    it was just time and a spray called "pad spray" some pink stuff which dries quick. (funnily enough kind of like meths)

    or if you want to go old school, my boss, when he was a kid, it was his job to dip the working dogs feet in meths, its spose to dry them out and harden them.
    I never did try it, I didn't want to when his feet were raw, and once healed never worried about it. mines just a pet and isn't suppose to run his feet raw.
