Paw pads blistering and cracking

Seems my pup has blisters and cracking on his paw pads. I dont take him on the hot asphalt. If it is hot he runs around in the grass. Is there a product used to basically moisturize paw pads or can I use something like Vasoline?

Blistering would concern me...do you mean just a patch of wear - or actual blisters forming? He must have extra sensitive pads if this is happening just on grass...is there any chance he is doing something you are not aware of? Digging, scratching at the floor/crate etc. when you are not home?

There are some great pad products out there - some used for sled dogs to keep their feet conditioned, and some products for people to use during the winter to protect feet from salt/chemicals put on roads. A google search should find you some...
