title: Canine pododermatitis.
abstract: This review article is meant to help the general veterinarian differentiate between 12 of the most common skin diseases that cause lesions on the canine paw. Most of these either look the same or have important features that are frequently missed. Each of these conditions will be described and the key features to note will be listed. These key features may be historical or signalment information or they may be diagnostic tests that are critical in making clear diagnostic separations between these diseases.
