Why use paw care products for my dog or cat?
Paw pad care products for dogs and cats are among the essential products for any pet owner.
Indeed, your pet's paw pads are the equivalent of the soles of our shoes. They are therefore constantly in contact with the ground, regardless of its type or temperature. The pads are composed of a thick layer of horn, but they are nonetheless fragile and highly susceptible to injury: burns, dryness, wounds, etc.
Our paw balm protects and repairs dry, inflamed, or damaged noses and paw pads. Its formula contains only naturally derived ingredients for maximum effectiveness. Fragrance-free and essential oil-free, it respects your four-legged friend's sensitive sense of smell.
It is so effective that a small amount is enough to restore comfort and suppleness to damaged skin. It can also be used preventively, before a mountain outing for example, to protect and insulate the paw pads from snow and cold.
Tips for taking care of your dog's or cat's paws and claws
You probably know that taking care of a dog's claws and paw pads is essential, but it's also important for our feline friends.
A damaged paw pad is painful for an animal and hinders its movement. It's therefore important not to let the problem persist and to treat it promptly. Similarly, overgrown claws can restrict your pet's movement and cause injuries.
The best approach is to take preventative action by following these tips, especially for dogs:
- monitor the length of the claws and trim them if necessary.
- Regularly inspect your pet's paw pads to quickly identify any dryness or injury.
- Don't take your dog for a very long walk on asphalt if it's not used to that type of surface.
- Regularly apply a tanning product to strengthen your dog's paw pads.
- If you take your dog to the snow or the beach, apply a protective and insulating product. Snow, ice, and salt can irritate their paw pads.
As for your dog's nose, it too is put to the test. Dogs use their sense of smell intensively, exploring everything with their noses, which exposes them to the risk of scratches and dryness.
