The best thing to do would be take it to the vet - they would be able to give you the treatments that the dog need. Splits in a dogs pad can bleed a lot and must be treated by a vet immediately. The standard method of repairing the split is by staple (in Europe). Before leaving the vet, make sure that the staple is holding the two parts of the pad together. It is very easy to mis-staple and it will look like the staple is in the correct place for proper healing, but really isn't. Never attempt to staple a dog's paw pad yourself. The staples used by your vet are surgical stainless steel and require a special instrument to put them into the pad. Also never attempt to remove the staple yourself. Always let your vet provide after-care for your pet.

Clean the cut with mild soap and water, then apply a small amount of antibiotic ointment. Monitor for signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or discharge. If the cut is deep or doesn't show signs of improving, consult a veterinarian for further treatment.
To treat a small cut on a dog's belly clean with antibacterial soap, and use peroxide or ointment after. Treat the wound just as it would be treated on a human. Watch for infection, and seek medical attention if this occurs.
If the cut is small, I would do nothing and just let it heal. If it is large, get some stitches at the vet. If it is too small for stitches but too large to ignore, I would use a drop of superglue to close it. Please note that superglue will sting at first application, so be prepared for that. I have done it for myself, my dogs, and my kids, so I know it works.
AnswerDogs do have bellybuttons, but they aren't "innies" or "outies." Only a scar is present. The umbilical cord experiences avulsion during birth; it's not cut and tied like human babies' are.They do have belly buttons. My Boston terrier has a HUGE belly button!!!!! he doesn't have fur on his belly, where most dogs do have fur on there bellies. All dogs have belly buttons.
No, dogs typically do not have belly buttons that protrude outward like an "outy" belly button in humans. Their belly buttons are usually flat or inward due to the way they are born and develop in the womb.
You can determine if your dog is fixed by checking for a small incision scar on the abdomen. Female dogs will have a scar from spaying surgery, which is usually located near the belly button. Male dogs will have a scar from neutering surgery, which is typically located on the scrotum or abdomen.
The cats belly button is located where the umbilical cord was. You cant see the belly button with all of the fur in the way. The belly button is way too small to see. It would be located around the mid-section of the belly of a cat.
Dogs like all petting from humans. Belly rubs are particularly enjoyable because dogs can't reach their own bellies well with their mouths or paws, so it's satisfying to them to have that area rubbed by someone who can reach it. (That's why they like scratches behind their ears, too.)
