Coco already had them at age 4 when we got her. She probably lived outside a lot before we had her, but Buddy had them most of his life too. There are plenty of padded dog surfaces in our house, but about half the time cold tile gets used instead. I have tried moisturizing the calluses, but it seemed to inflame them more serissimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182745758052503035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-82066513695835539552011-11-19T23:36:17.143-05:002011-11-19T23:36:17.143-05:00Hi Serissime,

Buddy was reluctant to let us dremel his front paws as he got older--and we later found out that his front paws were arthritic. Eventually, as he got sicker and less able to tolerate "messing," we had to let his nails get longer than I care to admit.<br /><br />serissimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182745758052503035noreply@blogger.com
