So Pebbles must have cut her paw today while we were out playing in the sunshine. Is there anything that I can put on it to keep it from getting infected and to help it heal faster? It does not look to be very deep and it hasn't bled, that I've noticed.

Triple antibiotic cream should be fine. If it starts to bleed flour will clot it.

Before the triple antibiotic, I would do a betadine soak, just to clean out the wound.

Betadine and water, as hot as your dog can stand it, and just soak it for a few minutes.

keep it washed clean and triple antibiotic ointment.

Thanks everyone! Upon further examination it was more of a blister that the top had started peeling back on!?!? So she proceded to rip the rest of the flap off and is keeping it clean by licking it and I found some dogie safe wound cream at the store. Hopefully it heals fast because she does not want to walk on the grass with it.

If your dog keeps on scratching at it, you may consider a plastic cone to keep her from being able to get at it. We had to do this for our dog when it was injured on the shoulder.
