Custom made Cockapoo shoes that stay on

Common Cockapoo Paw Problems and Solutions

1. Dry Paw Skin – The Plight of Cockapoos

Cockapoo paws are vulnerable to drying out from various environmental factors like long walks on heated pavement, brisk winter breezes, or simply encountering irritating debris outdoors. This dryness can lead to incessant itching, causing your Cockapoo to chew their paws and potentially worsen the condition. Ignored, this dryness can escalate to painful cracks that may invite infections.

What to do:

  • Regularly inspect your Cockapoo's paws for signs of dryness.
  • Apply hydrating paw creams to maintain supple and comfortable paws.
  • Equip your Cockapoo with breed-specific winter boots to protect against cold weather.

2. Burns on Paws – A Hot Topic for Cockapoos!
Even on mildly warm days, pavement can heat up to extreme temperatures, threatening to scorch your Cockapoo's delicate paws. This can turn a pleasant walk into a painful ordeal very quickly. A dog’s pain threshold is 120 F (49 C) and burns will develop when the paws touch surfaces of 130 F (54 C). 

What to do:

  • Weekly applications of paw wax can offer a protective barrier.
  • Keep a set of stylish summer booties ready for those sunny days.
  • Perform the "palm test" by placing your hand on the pavement; if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your Cockapoo!

3. Paws and Irritants – From Pollen to Pollutants
Throughout the year, Cockapoo paws collect all sorts of irritants, from spring pollen to autumn chemicals and harsh winter de-icers, which can all lead to discomfort and irritation.

What to do:

  • Wash your Cockapoo’s paws thoroughly after each walk.
  • Opt for pet-friendly products for your garden to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals.
  • Invest in protective footwear for your Cockapoo for days when irritant levels are high.

4. Yeast Infections – The Bane of Damp Paws
Cockapoos can develop yeast infections if their paws remain wet, leading to a musty smell and persistent itching.

What to do:

  • If unsure, consult your vet to confirm if it's a yeast infection.
  • Anti-fungal sprays are effective in keeping paws fresh and itch-free.
  • Always dry your Cockapoo's paws thoroughly, especially between the toes.

5. Winter Snowballing – No Fun for Tiny Toes!
Snow sticking between the toes can refreeze due to the body heat of your Cockapoo, turning delightful snow days into painful walks.

What to do:

  • Protective boots can prevent snow from accumulating.
  • Regular use of paw wax helps to repel snow and ice.

6. Mysterious Paw Itch – Unraveling the Itchy Enigma
If your Cockapoo’s paws are incessantly itchy without an apparent cause, it might be time to play detective and trace potential allergens or irritants.

What to do:

  • Investigate any new substances your Cockapoo might have contacted.
  • A quick spritz of anti-itch spray can provide immediate relief.

7. Cracked Paws – Tender Care Needed
Cracks in your Cockapoo's paws can arise from unnoticed dryness or minor injuries, leading to significant discomfort or infections if neglected.

What to do:

  • Severe cracks should be examined by a vet.
  • For less serious issues, soothing paw creams can facilitate quick healing.

8. Lick Dermatitis – A Sticky Situation
Persistent licking of the paws, known as lick dermatitis, can cause irritating sores and may stem from stress or boredom in Cockapoos.

What to do:

  • For chronic cases, seek veterinary care which may include medication or protective measures.
  • Address mild irritation with anti-itch remedies and monitor for environmental triggers.
