Ingredient: Organic Mango Butter
Organic Mango Butter
Organic mango butter is derived from the juicy tropical forest fruit, the mango. These fruits are loaded with some potent combinations of vitamins and fatty acids, so they are great when applied to skin. If you’re beloved dog has sore paws and you’ve been looking for some type of paw protector, then mango butter is a great ingredient to have in the topical cream you use.
Why Use Organic Mango Butter for Dogs
Mangos are rich in vitamins A, C, and E and they contain high quantities of fatty acids. The vitamins help to immediately combat free radicals in the skin, which can cause dryness, cracking, and other problems, especially for dogs and their paws.
Fatty acids, such as omega-6, omega-9, and others can provide some potent benefits with regard to adding moisture and healing to skin. Dogs’ paws are under an incredible amount of abuse throughout the day. This is especially true for dogs that go for walks on concrete, pavement, or other harsh surfaces.
These paws provide not only protection for the animal against these tough conditions, but they also protect against harsh weather conditions and act as a cushion. When their paws are dry, cracked, and being worn down, it can become painful for the dog to walk and run. That’s why relying on a good paw protector is an asset.
Forget boots and socks as these do little to provide true comfort and healing for the dog. An ointment or cream that contains mango butter, along with other essential ingredients, help to restore the right level of fatty acids the dog needs and also fight those free radicals that lead to poor skin (and paw) conditions.
