Every season has it’s challenges for dogs, especially to their paws. Summer creates some unique hardships for dogs’ paws.
SUMMER PAW HAZARDS:
- Chemicals -pesticides/fertilizers on lawns & gardens.
- Amplified Heat on walking surfaces -cement, asphalt, sand….etc.
- Swimming/Wading -salt and chemicals in water (whether it’s the ocean or a puddle) can reduce paws’ natural protectants.
SOLUTIONS.
- Keep your dog inside. Yah right -not realistic or fair!
- Get your dog footwear. This provides ideal protection if you can afford it and are willing to put on the boots each time you go out.
All Dog Boots has a wide selection of quality dog footwear. They have a special offer this week for 10% off at checkout using coupon code TWEET. - Use a Paw Protection Soluton to create a barrier between your dog’s pads and these ground hazards. This is often a waxy-like solution that you apply on the pads frequently to a constant coat to protect. It has the added benefit of speeding up healing of existing wounds, by helping to keep out debris. I like Musher’s Secret. It was developed for sled dogs in Canada, so it has a proven track record for protection in harsh conditions.
