How to Treat a Wart on the Webbing of a Dog's Foot

Man's best friend is not immune to developing unsightly and sometimes irritating warts, or papilloma. Dogs can develop warts anywhere on their bodies. Warts are harmless bumps that can make a dog feel itchy and annoyed. This leads to other problems when the dog begins to scratch and bite the area near the wart. Frequent chewing and scratching of the skin around the wart may cause bleeding and lead to infection. Warts on the paws and pads are especially bothersome. For this reason, canine warts should not be ignored and can be easily treated.
