How To Use
Usage Tips
Apply a generous amount twice daily or 1 hour before going out on walks.
Although it is lick safe - ensure your dog doesn't lick the balm off to allow it to work! Try keeping them busy with a puzzle feeder or play with them.
Before Using
- Quickly read through the safety info (found below)
- Ensure your dog is comfortable having his/her feet handled. If they are very sensitive to this, it might be worth slowly training them by positive reinforcement first (reward each time they allow you to touch their paws).
- Have your dog’s paws clean and dry. They don’t need to be sparkly clean - just removing any surface dirt with a damp cloth will do.
Applying the Balm
- Best times to apply are before sleep or rest, so the balm has lots of time to be absorbed. Avoid applying just before play or exercise.
- Gently rub off a small amount of balm from the surface with your finger.
- Massage this into your dog’s paw pads until you get a smooth even covering and a nice shine.
- Try to keep your dog still for a couple of minutes after application by tummy rubs, brushing, treat bribery, etc. If you have another person to help, this would be helpful with very wriggly dogs as they can distract your dog. If not, using a licking mat with peanut butter would provide good distraction!
- Use 2 to 3 times daily for dry and cracked paws. For maintenance, use between 4 and 5 times a week.
Other Information
- The balm is fine to be licked.
- The balm is naturally pigmented with no additional dyes or colouring, but the natural oil-based ingredients mean that the balm can rub off on surfaces if your dog walks off when it is freshly applied.
- This natural balm can also be used for
- dry, cracked noses
- spots of sore (non-infected) skin
- elbow calluses and rough skin patches - This balm does not replace any treatment from your vet who would be able to examine your dog physically and advise the best treatment.
Safety Info
- Please avoid use in puppies less than 8 weeks old, or pregnant animals.
- While all the ingredients are natural and safe, please check that your pooch has no known allergies to any of them.
- If unsure about allergies - for the very first application, please apply to only one paw and leave for a few minutes. A reaction, if any, will be mild and possibly show as reddened skin.
