SÄKER Dog Paw Pad Balm 1.3 oz | Dog Paw Balm for Winter Safe to Lick for Dry, Cracked, and Rough Paws | Veterinarian-Approved Paw Protection for Dogs for Cold Snow | Handmade in Canada

We always try to give our pets the very best care that we can afford. I am the handler of a giant breed medical K9 service dog. Due to the size of his breed; I try to make careful considerations to prevent health issues from arising in the future. While it may see a small thing, paw care is vital for their overall well being. When a dog stands 3 feet at the shoulder and has over 100 kg (220 lbs), one simple injury can turn into a tragedy quickly. Paw health has a direct impact on the joints of the leg and the hips. The hips thus translate to the back and it can snowball very quickly from there. Large pads dry out and become cracked quite easily, requiring both preventative and proactive interventional care.I have used the Saker brand Paw Balm since he was only 4 months old. By 6 months he was standing over 30 inches tall and weighed over 55 kg (120+ lbs). The pressure exerted on the paws and his pads became a real concern, as he was quite active running and jumping.I fully credit Saker for producing this safe paw Balm, and keeping my hard working K9 up and moving. It is an excellent preventative protection for their paws when they are being exposed to the many hazards of an urban setting in various environmental conditions. Whether on winter ice, the hot surfaces during the summer, or in rain soaked ankle deep streets; this paw balm has you covered with the best in protection and conditioning for their paws. After application, it is a relief to know that it is not going to harm him from licking it put of curiosity. Obviously, it only works on the area of application and you do not want it all to be licked away. That said, a few quick links are normal for any animal when a substance touches their skin. All of the listed ingredients should mean a reasonable margin of safety during the time required for your dog to become accustomed to its application. If the paws are exceptionally dry, do not be surprised to see the old dry skin flaking off in tiny pieces as they are replaced by new healthy tiwwww. In short order, with regular and proper use, you should notice drastic improvement in the health of the skin on the pads of the paws. In my case, this keeps both my focus and my service K9’s focus where it needs to be and with one less thing to worry over.The larger can size lasts a long time and makes for a hassle-free application. Given how long the larger can lasts, even on giant 5 inch paws, the paw balm is also a good bargain and perhaps one of the best deals going in preventative measures for your dog.Obviously, I highly recommend this product and am thankful it is available. It relieves a tremendous amount of stress, to know that I am doing all that I can for my guardian angel, to repay him for his loyal and selfless service in keeping me safe medically.
