How can I keep my dog's foot dry?

[YoYo]

Ha! I have a Sheepdog too! Not at the moment as I'm living in Singapore and he's back home in Perth with my Mumma. I miss him terribly!

If your garden gets really flooded, then maybe it would be better to leave her inside....a bit of wee is easier to clean up than having an infected foot! It will heal better then and then she'll be able to go back outside. I'd give it a try.

EXTRA pats for your poochie!

wrap glad wrap around it a few times and tape it up for when he is outside?

One thing we do is use stubby holders with a sock and tape the top of that on.... Unfortunately plastic that doesn't breath will do more damage than its worth. BUT getting it wet is just as bad.... Do you have a laundry or a garage you can lock him in for the day? With bones or chew stuff as well

We don't have a garage and our laundry has no door (weird house). She stays outside on the verandah but she can get off it and go into the flooded yard. I think the only solution is to leave her inside. I'll try her tomorrow when I go shopping and see how she goes. Thanks for the suggestions. I love the glad wrap and stubby holder ideas and will give them a go tomorrow. ATM I'm using a balloon on her foot and taking her out the front to relieve herself.
