Keeping Your Dog's Paws Well-Moisturized

 

One of the accessories you can get for your dog is the dog paw balm. This is a moisturizer that keeps the paw hydrated. The good news is that the balm is safe for dogs.

Using a moisturizer on your dog is useful especially when it is snowing or when the sun is at its hottest. You want to protect the dog’s paw from these extreme temperatures.

Experts do not advise using a lotion to moisturize the dog’s paws. After all, the lotion is not formulated for dogs. Lotions also contain toxic materials not suited for dogs.

You can put some moisturizer on the dog’s paws as soon as you see any signs of cracks or when the skin is beginning to get dry. It would also help to discuss with the vet before you use the balm on your pet.

Another way to protect your dog’s paw from extreme temperature is by giving your dog some booties or shoes.

If you have concerns about your pet health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your animal hospital Louisville, KY.
