After ‘SIT’, ‘PAW’ may be the oldest trick in the book…but how many people actually check their dog’s paws? You might have felt the scratchiness against your skin but assumed it to be normal. Unless your dog is limping, what is there to think about?
They’re supposed to be rough – right?
Some people may argue that dog’s paws are naturally supposed to be rough for protection. This simply is not the case. Dog paws were designed to walk through nature – not on pavement and salted sidewalks. Coming in contact with harsh surface conditions wears and dries the skin, causing paws to become rough, scratchy, and chapped.
Untreated paws
It is up to us to help our dogs stay in their healthiest condition. If paws are left untreated and dry, it can be very uncomfortable and painful for dogs. Although their pads are thick, they are still sensitive. Many dogs will incessantly lick and chew their paws when they are in discomfort, thus causing more irritation and a perpetual cycle.
All-natural is the way to go
As always, you should always use natural products on your pets, especially on areas they can easily reach and lick. That’s why we recommend Natural Dog Company as the perfect remedy for dry, rough dog paws. There are two important steps necessary to help your dog’s paws – protect and heal. To protect paws, Natural Dog Company created organic PawTection, a blend of natural waxes that guard the skin against the harsh elements like hot pavement, sand, ice, and salt. PawTection is applied to paws before going outdoors and acts as a nourishing barrier that locks in moisture to prevent damage.
Healthy dog = happy dog
To heal dry paws, Natural Dog Company has organic Paw Soother that is a perfect blend of 100% natural butters and oils. Paw Soother deeply heals, smoothes, and softens paw pads. Many people can see a difference after just one use! Once paws are soft and smooth, you’ll realize this is how nature intended them to be. A healthy, moisturized, paw gives the dog extra grip and agility. Many people will use Paw Soother to aid in agility training, allowing dogs get better contact with tricks, climbing and running.
Perfect all year ’round
With every season comes a new set of damaging elements, which is why it is important to have PawTection available for whatever weather or climate comes your way. Keeping paws hydrated and smooth with Paw Soother is best to get optimal performance for paws and comfort for dogs. Your dog will thank you!
