Can't really see in the pic what you are talking about. What I see is a normal looking paw. :)

They look a little dry, I would put some coconut oil on them and let it set in, she'll love it and they'll be back to normal in no time.

Hi, this looks like yeast to me, which is usually caused by allergies. Which brand of dog food are you currently feeding her?
you can try soaking her paws in Anti-Yeast Dip You can either use a bowl or large coffee cup and dunk the paws daily in the dip. If you have a smaller dog, you could easily pop them in the sink instead.


1 x gallon of warm water
2 x cups of white vinegar
1 x cup of hydrogen peroxide

This is not yeast Monica. This is a case of dry cookies. Buster and Mickey had it happen to them before :)

It's yeast if it smells like corn chips, but for a young pup I think it's just probably callous /dry paw starting to toughen up the pads. Similar to a corn on the foot, the affected area turns yellowish.

However, I would certainly go ahead and try foot soaks. Here's why.

Khloes looked similar to this, and she had an interdigital cyst. I was soaking her in chlorahexidine and alternating with Epsom salts. Her rear leg then became abscessed (we suspect it was a cactus thorn). I noticed that after all those soaks and the antibiotics she had from the abscess, now her paw pads look like new and fresh as a young pup. So I'm thinking it can possibly be fungal or bacterial as well.
