I forgot to mention,two things,do not let the dog drink from any surface ,puddles in TV! The water is contaminated with poisonous runoff of weed killer and fertilizer . Pay attention to the signs posted on lawns after fertilizer or bug treatment. Dogs lick their paws ingesting this residue . I know several dogs with paw irritations that really have gotten inflamed . Try to wipe dog paws (including between the toes) after a walk on lawns. Sometimes you may need to dip each paw and dry.
