Keeping Your Dog's Paws Healthy While On Walks

Going on walks is great exercise and stimulation for your dog. However, their paws can get dirty, dry and irritated from the elements. Learn how using BEST BARKIN’ WIPES™ before and after walks can keep your pup’s paws clean, moisturized and healthy.

Keeping your dog's paws healthy is crucial for their overall well-being, especially during walks. Here are some tips to ensure your furry friend's paws stay in top shape:

  1. Regular Paw Inspections: Check your dog's paws regularly for any signs of injury, irritation, or foreign objects like thorns or burrs. Look for cuts, cracks, or redness between the paw pads.

  2. Trim Paw Hair: Keep the hair around your dog's paw pads trimmed to prevent matting and the accumulation of debris, which can lead to discomfort or infections.
  3. Moisturize: Just like human skin, dog paw pads can dry and crack, especially in hot or cold weather. Use a veterinarian-recommended paw moisturizer or coconut oil to keep the pads hydrated. Using BEST BARKIN WIPES™ regularly also helps cleanse and moisturize their paws at the same time. This helps to maintain their paw pads' natural moisture and prevents discomfort or irritation. So, make sure to incorporate this simple step into your daily routine to keep your furry friend happy and healthy
  4. Protect from Hot Surfaces: In hot weather, pavement, asphalt, and sand can become scorching hot and cause burns on your dog's paw pads. Try to walk your dog during cooler times of the day or stick to grassy areas. You can also invest in booties for extra protection.
  5. Protect from Cold Surfaces: During winter, icy sidewalks and roads can be harsh on your dog's paws. Consider using booties to protect them from cold surfaces and from contact with salt or chemical deicers, which may irritate the skin can be harmful if ingested.
  6. Clean Paws After Walks: After walks, gently wipe your dog's paws to remove any dirt, mud, or chemicals they may have encountered. This helps prevent irritation and infections. Use BEST BARKIN WIPES™ to clean and moisturize your dog's paws. These wipes are designed to provide gentle and effective cleaning while moisturizing the paw pads to keep them healthy and hydrated.
  7. Consider Paw Protection: In extreme conditions or for dogs with sensitive paws, consider using protective booties or paw wax to provide an extra layer of protection.

By following these tips and being attentive to your dog's needs, you can help keep their paws healthy and ensure enjoyable walks for both of you.
