PawTection Balm Stick for Dogs (2oz) All-Natural, Lick-Safe Dog Paw Protector, Moisturizing Dog Paw Balm for Dry, Cracked Pads, Protects Paws from Winter Ice, Salt & Rough Terrain

Great stuff
This product was fantastic! It has provided great comfort and paw protection for my puppy on these cold winter days.

Works great for walking in the winter
This stuff works great for my dog who loves being outside in cold weather. We use this daily on paws when going for walks when it is below freezing or when there is snow and ice. Works great. Thought it would bother her after application, and she would lick it off, but she did not.

Probably works, but for heat protection, likely only for very short distances.
I live in Florida, and there are only about 12 days a year that the pavement, or pretty much any exposed surface, won’t be 100+ degrees at some point in the day. I have shoes for my dog for times that she’ll be walking around outdoors for extended periods of time, but I was looking for a solution for short, but still potentially painful distances for her to walk, like parking lots. I wanted something that would protect her for those short distances, when putting on her shoes, (which she hates) isn’t logistically practical. While I don’t have a scientific way of confirming this, I have applied the paw balm to her (on multiple occasions) right before leaving the house, and after a short drive, when walking her from the car, into a store or park, she didn’t appear to have any discomfort. Granted, we move at a quick pace, and my girl is a trooper, so maybe she just wasn’t showing signs of distress, but it really didn’t seem to bother her. However, and this is just my option, I don’t see how, given the very thin layer of protection, that this would be a viable solution for anything other than a Very limited time on a hot surface. Some reviewers mention that their dogs try licking it off after application, but mine doesn’t show much interest in it. Its not that hard to apply, but be prepared that if you do so at home, or in a car, it does leave a little bit of visible, greasy feeling residue on hard surfaces and smooth fabric. I bought the 0.15 trial stick, which is very small, and somewhat expensive for the amount, however, they do make it very clear that this is a small trail size. In the end, I don’t know if this really works, but you do get more applications than you’d expect, and even if it only provides just marginal protection and comfort for my dog, the price is worth it. Giving this a product 3 stars because it has, in my option, pretty limited effectiveness when it comes to heat protection, which was the purpose for my purchase.

easy and effective
Much easier to apply than trying to get boots on, and nearly as effective! A small amount goes a long way in making our 30 minute walks in the snow/salt/ice more comfortable.

Lo uso da un anno e le zampe della mia Australian sono perfette. L’ho usato tutto l’inverno, ma soprattutto durante una settimana in montagna sulla neve. Non ho usato alcuna “scarpetta”, solo le creme della Natural Dog Company.La protezione prima di uscire al freddo (ma anche nei periodi più caldi o se i terreni sono sconnessi) e il burro nutriente al ritorno. Polpastrelli morbidissimi e mai avuto un taglio!

Gut!
