How can I care for my dog's paws?
In addition to regularly checking claws, you can rub a paw balm on the paws. This is particularly important during winter, when it's cold and there's road salt around, to prevent painful cracking of the paws. Dog's paws are normally soft and smooth, but they endure a lot due to various surfaces. Therefore, you should pay regular attention to their care.
At Kramer Equestrian, you can purchase paw protection balm by sugar dog for your dog, which provides plenty of moisture and cares for cracked dog paws. Additionally, we stock animal care oils that are not only suitable for treating wounds and chafing but also for paw care.
Trim any fur growing over the paws as dirt and ice can become trapped in clumps, which can then painfully press between the pads. If clumps have formed, you can remove them with lukewarm water. Afterwards, it is important to dry the dog's paws thoroughly, especially between the toes, as these areas can otherwise become inflamed.
