🐾 listen up – ‘cos this stuff’s real impawtant! 🐾
your darling doggo’s paws are the body part most prone to collecting dirt & diseases, given that they are constantly in use. caring under there – for the paws, pads, nails, and toes – is therefore essential to keep your furball happy, healthy & forever on the move!
here are 6 tips to keep your dog’s paws clean & soft:
splashing around in puddles or daily walks may be fun for your pooch. equally important is cleaning their paws soon as you get home! wipe their paws thoroughly with a wet washcloth or give them a good cleaning with vet-approved doggie products.
paws can develop cuts, bruises, or harden with constant wear & tear. gently clean small cuts & lightly cover them with some gauze; for deeper/bleeding cuts, head to the vet. keep those paws moisturized with Epsom salt soaks or lightly massage with some coconut oil & balms.
one of the best ways to preserve your furry’s paws is to keep them covered with cute lil’ pet booties/shoes when outdoors. (and don’t they just look so paw-dorable too? 🐾)
doggie paws may develop conditions like hyperkeratosis, which is an overgrowth of keratin resulting in crusty/hardened paws that resemble calluses. soak the paws in some warm water & Epsom salts. consult a vet for antifungal medications or detect any underlying issues.
your dog’s nails, toes & in-betweens can accumulate loads of grime & even give shelter to fleas or ticks. groom & wash the area regularly, clip those nails, comb out matted hair & trim the hair between the toes.
save those paws from burning or drying by avoiding very hot pavements in the summer. in winter, keep paws moisturized before & after walks. (and it’s best to keep those walks short!) if you live in colder climates, make sure to clean out the snow from your furry's paws.
