Common French Bulldogs Paw Issues and solutions to solve them

Tips for French Bulldog Paw Wellbeing

#1 Dry Paw Skin
French Bulldogs often face paw dryness from walking on hot, rough, or dry surfaces, exposure to cold, dry winter air, or contact with ground irritants. This dryness can cause itching, leading to licking and biting that worsens the problem. If untreated, dryness may lead to cracking and open wounds, which can be painful and prone to infection.

What to do:

  1. Regularly inspect paws for early signs of dryness.
  2. Use moisturizing products to protect and soothe paws. Example product: Paw wax
  3. Consider Winter dog shoes designed specifically for French Bulldogs.


#2 Burns on Paws
French Bulldogs are at risk of paw burns on hot pavement. Roads and sidewalks can easily reach temperatures too high for dogs to safely tolerate, causing burns within seconds. 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:

  1. Apply a quality paw protection wax weekly. Warren London Paw Wax
  2. Use summer Summer dog boots shoes to shield paws.
  3. Avoid walks during the hottest hours, and aim for grassy areas.

#3 Paws and Irritants
French Bulldog paws are exposed to environmental irritants, like pollen, chemicals from lawn care, or winter ice melt. These substances can cause itching and lead to allergic reactions or paw irritation.

What to do:

  1. Rinse paws after outdoor exposure.
  2. Use pet-safe lawn products.
  3. Apply protective paw wax or boots to prevent contact with irritants. Example paw wax

#4 Yeast Infection (Itchy, Smelly Paws)

  2. Try natural serums. Yeast serum
  3. Use calming and soothing shampoo Soothing shampoo
  4. Dry paws thoroughly after baths or exposure to moisture.

What to do:

  1. Use protective dog boots.
  2. Apply paw wax regularly to prevent snowballing.

#6 Unknown Itchiness
If your French Bulldog’s paws are persistently itchy and no clear cause is identified, it could be due to dry skin, pollen, lawn chemicals, or even a mild yeast infection. Occasionally, household products or an insect bite may be to blame.

What to do:

  1. Review all potential irritants or allergens your dog’s paws may encounter.
  2. Use anti-itch sprays to provide quick relief.

#7 Cracked Paws
Cracked paws often start with unnoticed dry skin, cuts, or irritation from chemicals or rough surfaces. Once paws are cracked, they become more susceptible to infection and other complications.

What to do:

  1. For deep cuts or signs of infection, see a vet.
  2. Use a healing cream to help repair minor cracks and prevent further damage. Example moisturiser

#8 Sores on the Paws Due to Lick Dermatitis
Lick dermatitis, often triggered by constant licking due to itching, can lead to sores, inflammation, and hair loss on French Bulldog paws. In some cases, emotional stress or boredom may cause a dog to over-groom.

What to do:

  1. For moderate or severe cases, seek veterinary treatment, which may include antibiotics or anti-anxiety medication.
