It is what is says on top of dogs foot, it's not swollen now it's been popped (by the dog) and it's just a whole now. They just heal up themselves? Any tips on a faster heal?

keep it clean and flushed with fresh water, how big are we talkin a dime sized hole or quarter or somewhere in between? regardless if it were my dog I would flush it with water at least once a day preferrably twice and spray a good amount of vetericyn or apply cut n heal to it after each wash. that should clear it up for you.

It's about a dime if even. Not huge but been cleanin with hydrogen peroxide and keepin dry and inside. Hopefully it'll close up.

QUIT USING PEROXIDE!!!!! peroxide cleans out dirty wounds BUT it slows down the healing process drastically, peroxide is great for disinfecting a wound initially but not good at all for the healing process.

If the dog can get to it and lick it no problem.
I had a dog get one in the same place from a locust thorn. Those things are not joking.

you ain't lying about the locust thorns lol I know first hand about them things . I had one go into my leg one day and didn't even feel it . then several days later my leg had a festering bump on it and I got to mashing and squeezing on it for a few days and eventually one about an inch and a half slid out .
