1
Inspect the cut and clear out any debris that might be caught in the cut. Debris near the cut prevents it from healing.

2
Clean the dog's wound by soaking a gauze pad with povidone iodine and wiping the wound clean.
-
3
Cover the wound with another gauze pad.
-
4
Wrap a bandage around the dog's paw, holding the gauze pad to the injured area.
-
5
Secure the bandage with first aid tape.
-
6
Place an Elizabethan collar around the dog's neck to prevent it from worrying at the collar.
-
7
Change the bandage every two days or simply remove it when the cut is healed. A minor cut should only take three or four days to heal completely.
