Have any of you taken dogs in the Cuillins? How do their paws cope with the gabbro? We are hoping to take the pup with us next month (obviously we are aware that our route choices will need to be carefully thought through), and I am not sure what it will do to his paws. He will have just turned one, but has been on many surfaces already and has had no problems. Our most local walks are on tarmac for quite a bit, so his paws are not soft. He has been fine in snow and ice, also no problems on other rocky walks, but I am just aware that gabbro is so much rougher.
I have found paw wax online - would that offer enough protection? I can't imagine him liking the rubber boots that you can get for them, but he would love to be part of the adveture!
