DOG PADS

Question
I HAVE A SEVEN YEAR OLD HUSKY AND FOR ABOUT THE PAST MONTH HE HAS BEEN KNUCKLING OVER AND HIS LEGS HAVE BEEN SLIPPING OUT FROM UNDER HIM, WE HAVE HARD WOOD FLOORS AND I JUST NOTICED THAT HIS PADS ARE VERY SOFT AND SMOOTH IS THIS NORMAL.

Answer
Hi Tony,

Yes, it's normal for a dog to have soft pads, dogs will slip on hardwood floors because of it.  Although, is this something he just started to do?  At 7, he may be having some joint problems.  You may want to have him checked by your vet.  I recommend a supplement that helps if it is a bone or joint problem.  It's NuJoint plus.  http://www.nuvet.com/42299
