IT IS MY RIGHT TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL WHEN I'VE PUT BACK SIX SHIRLEY TEMPLES OK

:patriot:
I have a question about hyperkeratosis and mobility:

I recently moved in to a house with hardwood floors. I'm noticing my dog slip and slide on them, more than she did on tile and vinyl flooring at previous places. I checked her paws and noticed that her hyperkeratosis on her pads seemed to be worse than the last time I checked. She has always been somewhat guarding of people touching her paws and pads. The spots on her pads with more hyperkeratosis than others seem to be extra sensitive/painful to her than other parts of her pads. I'm thinking this is contributing to the slipping and sliding which makes her less likely to walk around the house than she used to.

What can I do to help fix her pads, and otherwise help her mobility on these new, slicker floors? Is there a particular pad balm I could try to help with the hyperkeratosis? She is still walking plenty, up to two miles a day with me when the weather is up to her standards (lol), but I don't want to impede her mobility, and keep her as active and healthy as I can for as long as I can.
