Nancy two things I will add, regular ear cleaning, and regular nail trimming. For drop earred dogs especially ears can be a problem. For all dogs, too long nails not only can interfere with pad health if they get long enough, but also over time, cause the dogs paw to spread, this weakens tendons and ligaments, and will exacerbate any underlying mild LP condition.
