This is a moisturiser, not a treatment. If a pad is cracked, bleeding, swollen or smells unusual, speak to your vet before covering it with balm.

When we use it

After a winter walk on gritted pavements, or a summer walk that turned out hotter than expected. A thin layer on the pads and around the edges, rubbed in properly, then a minute or two of distraction so it can sink in before the dog licks it off.

It is also useful for a cat with dry pads, though cats are less cooperative about the “leave it to absorb” part. Apply it when they are sleepy.

What is in it

Shea butter and jojoba oil soften; beeswax holds the balm together; colloidal oatmeal is the calming part. There is no fragrance, because a dog’s nose does not need one and a cat may object.

Care

Store below 25°C. If the balm becomes grainy in cold weather, warm the tin in your hands and stir it with a clean finger. Do not microwave it.
