poor feet

[worldruler 58]

right when its wet and I take the dog out round the local woods he seems fine, but when we come in he is always chewing at his feet, to the point where he has once or twice chewed a pad raw, then he is laid up for a few days while that heals, any suggestions? I have just bought some wax stuff that they use for sled dogs paws so I will see how thats goes before vet advice. Dosent seem to have issues when its dry even after a 5 or 6 mile run beside the bike. Not a lurcher btw but a staffy type

 

cheers

really dont thnk so, he is they type of dog who would go though barb wire to get to a shitty wee rabbit and not seem fussed after, so its strange that his feet bother him so much when he comes inside
