The importance of Paw balm

Paw balms are a thick ointment that is applied to the skin of a dogs paw pads to help keep them soft and in tip top condition. Paw balm is a specialized product designed to protect your favourite furry friends paws from the elements. The balm helps to create a barrier against hot pavements in the summer, cold surfaces in the winter, abrasive surfaces, and more. Paw balm can also fight against any irritation, dryness and cracking of the paw pads.


Paw pads have several vital roles, including: 

  • Acting as shock absorbers, protecting the bones and joints as the dog walks, runs or jumps

  • Providing grip, to prevent slipping

  • Insulating the foot from heat and cold

  • Helping with balance and stability.


Here is one of our personal favourites, Paw Nectar
