The ice, snow, and salt from pavements can be harmful to your doggies paws. This is made with all NATURAL ingredients. Just like your skin in the winter, it takes a toll on the paw pads. All of the non-toxic, all-natural ingredients in the balm are American Kennel Club and Vet approved. Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Olive Oil smooth, soften and hydrate, while the bees wax heals chapped paws. Beyond their conditioning and moisturizing properties, these ingredients are safe for pets that have allergies or other sensitivities, too, says Ivana Crnec, DVM, With Veterianarians.org. " They also help prevent irritation and speed up the healing of cracked and injured paw pads" says Dr. Crnec. Best of all, this balm can be used on both dogs and cats, she affirms.
