I wonder how it is possible not having the dog's paws in contact with water whether one baths the dog in the bathtub, lawn, basin or just on regular bathroom floor. Generally, most pet dogs have 1 to 4 baths per month and the duration of it is about 15 minutes at most. There are dogs who swim for 15 to 20 minutes twice weekly either for leisure or hydrotherapy treatment or aromatherapy pampering. Then there are days when we walk our dogs after a rain and the pavement isn't completely dry. Water is not the culprit for dry paws. To avoid coming in contact with water in whatever fashion is ineluctable and it certainly won't make paws any cushier. Dogs have to lead a normal lifestyle where they can explore various elements come their way. The key to taking care of dog's paws is not to neglect them after those fun activities—bathing dogs is one of them. Hi Gene,

One more thing to be aware of is when bathing your dog, try not to have him or her standing in water. Bathe the dog where the water can drain away and then dry the paws thoroughly. Good article.
