Guest JOEB Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Just got a new rescue lurcher, apart from the normal exercise programme, dose anyone have any tips to speed up the process of hardening the dogs feet up, as they are very very soft. She has been in the dogs home for 18 months and her feet are as soft as shite, its not nice for her to do exercise on sore feet. Just want to give her a bit of help Cheers Fellas, JOEB Quote Link to post
Kane 2 Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well youve got all summer to get her fit mate so the only advice I would give is easy does it.Make sure the nails are clipped properly and then gently build up on the exercise. Good on you for taking on a rescue bit of patience and ime sure she will pay you back ten fold. Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Meth spirits will, but like Kane a would prefer to gradually build up the amount of road work she has. I never gave it a thought when i got Khan and his feet swelled up terribly after 2 days of walking and running with the rest. MOLL. Quote Link to post
