Dog's paws shed skin in autumn. Could it be a bacterial infection?
Peeling or dryness of dog's paws in autumn
If you find that your dog's paws are peeling in autumn, it may be caused by the weather being too dry. Pay attention to protecting your dog from the cold. You can apply a little Vaseline and try not to take the dog with you. Walk the dog on rough ground; feed the dog some vitamins, especially the B vitamins, to help return to normal.
Peeling of dog paws in autumn or bacterial infection
Peeling of pet dog paws may also be caused by mite infection. Mites can cause bacterial infection by blocking the hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin between your dog's toes. The main symptom is that the dog licks its toes frequently, and the toes will become red, swollen and peeling, and in severe cases, pus and bleeding may occur. Note that when this kind of disease occurs, the pet dog must be treated in time, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
