[b]Protecting Your Dog's Paws With Our Winter Paw Balm[/b]

No other time of year takes its toll on your dog's paws like the harsh cold months of winter. Whether it's the cold environment, snowy & icy ground, exposure to chemical de-icers and salt or rocks and grit, winter can be a brutal time for your dog - they may be excited when it's time to go for a walk but make no mistake, there are very real dangers lurking at this time of year!

Don't get us wrong, snow is still heaven for an excitable dog - new environments and a sensations are exciting - running around, jumping through snow, sliding on ice and biting at snow as it falls is a total blast... but to make sure your dog truly has the best time possible - [url=https://www.mypamperedpup.com/store/p1/store/soft-paws-natural-healing-moisturising-dog-paw-balm]protecting their delicate paw pads[/url] from winter is easy if you start early and use the best products possible - like [url=https://www.mypamperedpup.com/store/p1/store/soft-paws-natural-healing-moisturising-dog-paw-balm]Soft Paws paw balm[/url].

Keeping on top of protecting your dog's paws in winter is easier if you start early and use your [url=https://www.mypamperedpup.com/store/p1/store/soft-paws-natural-healing-moisturising-dog-paw-balm]paw balm[/url] in the months leading up to the cold weather.

[b]For the best winter dog paw protection - start as early as you can...[/b]

As autumn approaches - think about starting to regularly apply your pad protection now. If you've never used a paw balm before then you need to make sure you moisturise, nourish and protect the paws so they're not open to getting worse.

Using [url=https://www.mypamperedpup.com/store/p1/store/soft-paws-natural-healing-moisturising-dog-paw-balm]Soft Paws dog paw balm[/url] couldn't be easier - simply rub gently with your fingers until it starts to soften and apply liberally to the pad - gently massage in (if your dog will let you), we often find that distractions are key to this so try after your dog has eaten and use their favourite toy to keep them occupied so you can work it into the skin.

Don't panic if you can't work it in - the oils and butters in [url=https://www.mypamperedpup.com/store/p1/store/soft-paws-natural-healing-moisturising-dog-paw-balm]Soft Paws[/url] are specially chosen because they quickly absorb deep into the pads anyway - the beeswax base starts to firm-up as soon as it's applied and this created a lick-safe barrier for the oils so it's no problem if your pooch does try and get at it!

[b]Regularly applying your paw balm...[/b]

If starting your [url=https://www.mypamperedpup.com/store/p1/store/soft-paws-natural-healing-moisturising-dog-paw-balm]winter paw protection[/url] early is important, then the key to maximising the benefits of the balm is regularly applying it! We've always advised that you base the application on the condition of your dog's pads and how active you are - if they're in a pretty bad way, use more... if they're looking alright, use it less frequently. If you lead a fairly active life with your dog, use the appropriate amount of paw balm to protect the paws - after every other walk is a great benchmark!

Our handy guide on paw condition would be:

[b]Dry, Damaged & Cracked Paws[/b] - Apply at least 2-3 times per day (usually best after exercise or eating to avoid licks)

[b]Dry Paws[/b] - Apply 1-2 times per day (morning & evening - after walks)

[b]'Normal' Paws[/b] - Apply 2-3 times per week to maintain soft, smooth & healthy paws
​
By following these simple steps, you can give your dog the best possible chance of being comfortable in winter. This means that when the cold months do come around, your dog has healthy paws which don't run the risk of becoming as easily dry, cracked or damaged.
