Cracked paw pads in winter? Sure. But did you know that hot pavement in summer, long walks, or rough terrain can also put a lot of strain on your dog’s sensitive paw skin? Many pet owners focus on paw protection during the colder months, but in reality, dog paws need care and attention all year round.
Why dog paws need protection all year
A dog’s paws are among the most overused and exposed parts of the body. Every day they come into contact with all kinds of surfaces: asphalt, gravel, sand, grass, ice, or road salt. Without proper protection, this can lead to dryness, cracks, or even painful inflammation.
In winter:
❄️ Cold temperatures, frozen ground, snow, and road salt attack the paw pads’ natural barrier. Pads can dry out, crack, or become inflamed. Salt in particular is very irritating and may worsen small wounds.
In summer:
☀️ Asphalt can heat up to over 50°C (120°F). This isn’t just uncomfortable – it can cause serious burns. Hot sand, sharp stones, and dry ground also put strain on sensitive paws.
What makes a good paw balm?
Effective paw care should protect and soothe at the same time. Natural ingredients such as:
-
Shea butter – deeply nourishing and intensely moisturizing
-
Calendula (marigold) – calming and anti-inflammatory
-
Lemon eucalyptus – provides natural protection from irritants and insects
You’ll find all of these carefully selected ingredients in our Balau Natural Paw Care Balm.
