Thanks for reaching out. It definitely sounds concerning when our furry friends are hurt. Bleeding from your dog's paw could be due to a few different reasons. Sometimes, it's as simple as a small cut or scrape from stepping on something sharp, like a piece of glass or a thorn. Other times, it may be a cracked nail or an insect bite.
In the meantime, to help your dog, you can gently clean the area with warm water and mild soap, then apply a little pressure with a clean cloth or bandage to stop the bleeding. Make sure to keep your dog from licking the wound, as this could introduce bacteria. If you notice any swelling, redness, or continued bleeding, those could be signs of infection or a more serious injury.
Keep an eye on your dog's behavior—if they are limping, continually licking the paw, or if the bleeding doesn't stop after a few minutes of pressure, it’s a good idea to get a closer look from a vet. These could indicate something that needs more than just at-home care.
To get a more personalized assessment and ensure everything's okay, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our experienced vets at Dial A Vet. They can help you decide the best next steps and give your pet the care they need.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
