My dog on his right elbow is developing a hard callus. He does he lay on hard surfaced floors when he's hot, normally propped up on that elbow. I know its normal friction stuff, I not really worried.

But, I was wondering if there is anything i can put on to avoid it becoming cracked or infected?

Thanks in advance

I'd try some emu oil to keep the skin soft. Just a couple of drops and rub in. You may also want to get a cool type of mat that helps him stay cool instead of laying on the hard floor.

I had great success with Penaten cream. It's thick and a little goes a long way. Made in Germany I think. Traveler's actually regrowing fur on his elbows.

Bag balm in the green can applied twice a day will cause the hair to grow back and the callus to go away.

Udder Cream. Keeps it soft and subtle... And great to use on yourself too for really dry skin

I think bag balm and Penaten cream all use sheep lanolin as their main (only?) ingredient.

Thank you all, I'm going to try and see which one works best
