How Do You Use Paw Balm?

You use paw balm by gently rubbing it into your dog's paw pads to protect and moisturize them. Here’s a more detailed guide:

Steps for Applying Paw Balm

Clean the Paws: Before applying the balm, make sure your dog's paws are clean and free from dirt, debris, or ice. A damp cloth works well.
Apply a Small Amount: Scoop a small amount of paw balm onto your fingers.
Massage into Paws: Gently massage the balm into each paw pad. Ensure even distribution.
Allow Absorption: Give the balm a few minutes to absorb before your dog walks on surfaces where they might track residue. Distraction with a treat or toy can help with this.
Reapply as Needed: Reapply the balm as needed, especially after walks on harsh surfaces like hot pavement, ice, or salt. Frequency depends on environmental conditions and your dog's activity level.

Protection: Acts as a barrier against harsh surfaces like hot pavement, ice, and salt.
Moisturization: Prevents dryness and cracking, keeping paw pads healthy and supple.
Healing: Helps to soothe and heal minor cuts and abrasions.

Choose the Right Balm: Opt for a dog-specific paw balm made with natural and non-toxic ingredients.
Introduce Gradually: If your dog is resistant, start by applying a small amount and rewarding them with treats.
Regular Application: Consistent use is key for optimal results. Make it part of your dog's regular grooming routine.
Observe for Allergies: Monitor your dog for any signs of allergic reaction after initial use.
