Key Benefits
This unscented balm is packed with nourishing butters and oils that work together to keep paw pads in top condition. Key benefits include:
-
Deep Hydration: Rich moisturisers penetrate the paw pad to soften and replenish dry, rough skin.
-
Soothing Relief: Helps calm irritation and discomfort caused by cracking or splitting.
-
Protective Barrier: Creates a light, breathable layer that shields paws from environmental stressors like salt, ice, hot footpath surfaces, and gravel.
-
Safe to Lick: With no active ingredients, the balm is non-toxic if your dog licks it off.
These features make it an excellent choice for everyday paw maintenance, especially during extreme weather seasons.
Why Regular Paw Care Matters
Your dog's paws are constantly exposed to harsh surfaces, extreme temperatures, and rough terrain. Just like human hands, paw pads can become dry, cracked, and irritated. A high-quality paw balm provides essential moisture and protection, helping to maintain healthy, resilient pads. This 100% organic and all-natural formula from Healthy Breeds is designed to hydrate, moisturise, and condition your dog's paws, supporting comfort during walks and playtime. Whether your dog is a working breed, an avid hiker, or simply enjoys daily strolls, regular paw care can make a significant difference in their overall wellbeing.
How to Apply for Best Results
Using the balm is simple. Start by cleaning your dog's paws to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of balm to your finger and gently massage it into each paw pad, paying attention to cracks or rough areas. For best results, apply before bedtime or after walks. Allow a few minutes for the balm to absorb before your dog walks on surfaces. Regular use—daily if needed—helps maintain soft, healthy paws. Always supervise your dog after application to minimize licking, though the balm is safe if ingested.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this balm safe for all dog breeds?
Yes, this paw balm is formulated for all dog breeds, including Shetland Sheepdogs and other small to large breeds. Its gentle, natural ingredients make it suitable for dogs with sensitive skin.
Can I use this balm on other dry areas like nose or elbows?
Absolutely. While designed for paw pads, the balm can also be applied to dry noses, elbows, or other rough patches. The moisturising oils and butters benefit any area needing extra care.
How often should I apply the balm?

What if my dog licks the balm off?
The balm contains no active ingredients and is safe to ingest. However, to maximise absorption, try applying before a meal or when your dog is distracted. Over time, most dogs become less interested in licking.
