How to keep a bandaged paw dry?

Use the whole latex glove not just the thumb.
Pop it over the paw, secure with tape, then pop a sock over the top.
Had to do this recently with my dogs paw to keep the bandage dry.0 -
Another vote for the empty drip bag here. My vet gave me a couple which I keep on standby and they are very robust so perfect for walks. When my boy just nips out to the garden though, I just tie a poop bag around the bandage as that suffices for a quick trip onto our grass.
I wouldn't suggest vetwrap (other brands are available). If it gets even the tiniest bit wet, it can shrink and compromise circulation. Bandage injuries can have severe repercussions so never let them get wet - make sure they are not too tight either. With eleven dogs, I'm sure you know what you're doing anyway
