Common Pug Paw Problems and solutions

#1 Dry Paw Skin – Rough & Tough Ain't for Pugs!

Left untreated, dryness can turn into cracks, which can be painful and leave paws vulnerable to infections.
What to do:
- Check those adorable paws often for signs of dryness.
- Use moisturizing products to keep paws soft and itch-free.
- Grab some Pug-friendly winter dog shoes to shield those paws. Winter boots
#2 Burns on Paws – Hot Pavement, Not for Pug Feet!
Pug paws aren’t made for hot pavement! Even a pleasant 77°F (25°C) day can heat sidewalks to over 125°F (52°C), which can burn a Pug’s paws in seconds. Imagine that blacktop soaking up all that heat—ouch!
What to do:
- Protect those paws with a weekly application of paw wax.
- Grab some stylish summer dog shoes to beat the heat. Summer Dog Boots
- Test the sidewalk with your palm first; if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your Pug!
#3 Paws & Pesky Irritants – Pollen, Chemicals, Oh My!
From spring to fall, pollen, fertilizers, and pesticides love sticking to Pug paws! And come winter, de-icers and gritty sand can also cause paw problems. All these irritants can make paws itchy, leading to even more licking and sneezing.
What to do:

- Use pet-friendly lawn care products.
- Try protective dog boots if your neighborhood has irritants around. Protective Pug Shoes
#4 Yeast Infections – Smelly Paws, Be Gone!
Sometimes, Pug paws can develop yeast infections—especially if the area between their toes stays damp. If you notice a musty smell or constant scratching, a yeast infection could be to blame.
What to do:
- See your vet if you’re unsure if it’s a yeast infection.
- Try an anti-fungal spray to keep paws fresh.
- Make sure paws are dry, especially after baths or walks in wet grass.
#5 Winter Snowballing – Tiny Toes Turned into Ice Cubes!
When Pugs trot through snow, it can pack into their toes, freeze, and stretch their skin. Ouch! Snowballing can make winter walks uncomfortable for Pug paws.
What to do:
- Use dog boots to prevent snow buildup. Best support for snow and ice
- Regularly apply a paw protection wax to help snow slip right off.
#6 Mysterious Paw Itch – The Pug Detective is on the Case!
When your Pug's paws are crazy itchy but the cause isn’t obvious, it’s time to investigate! From pollen to pesky cleaners or insect bites, almost anything can set off a Pug's itchiness.
What to do:
- Consider recent irritants or allergens that might’ve caused the itch.
- Use anti-itch sprays to give quick relief if the cause remains a mystery.
#7 Cracked Paws – Paws Need TLC Too!
Cracked paws usually start as dry skin or unnoticed cuts. The cracks can become painful and even get infected, making it hard for your Pug to enjoy their daily walks.
What to do:
- Visit your vet if the paws are bleeding or seem badly hurt.
- For minor cracks, a healing cream can work wonders in just a few days.
#8 Lick Dermatitis – A Compulsive Pug Paw-Licker
Sometimes Pugs start licking their paws obsessively, causing sores and irritation. Known as lick dermatitis, it’s tricky to treat because every lick stops the skin from healing.
What to do:
- For serious cases, see your vet for treatment, which may include antibiotics or a protective collar.
- If your Pug has a minor sore, check for possible irritants and use an anti-itch spray to calm the area.
