So far so good

This is very small “sample”. I used this twice before I ran out. My boy isn’t tall but he’s got big feet!! I didn’t want to buy anything larger before I knew how my dog would react to it. He’s a Bulldog and his feet are huge, the size of the palm of my hand !!! BUT……it was enough for me to test his response to putting it on his paws…….he never knew the difference. He walked on Iowan winter streets without any issues. It really protected his paws from getting abused by all the chemicals used on the streets. I bought the larger stick roll product after testing him. He doesn’t lick his paws after I put it on. I do use it after we come back from our walks. The bee’s wax provides great protection.

No lo use mucho la verdad …muy pequeño

Made my dog rough areas more soft

I live in Florida, and there are only about 12 days a year that the pavement, or pretty much any exposed surface, won’t be 100+ degrees at some point in the day. I have shoes for my dog for times that she’ll be walking around outdoors for extended periods of time, but I was looking for a solution for short, but still potentially painful distances for her to walk, like parking lots. I wanted something that would protect her for those short distances, when putting on her shoes, (which she hates) isn’t logistically practical. While I don’t have a scientific way of confirming this, I have applied the paw balm to her (on multiple occasions) right before leaving the house, and after a short drive, when walking her from the car, into a store or park, she didn’t appear to have any discomfort. Granted, we move at a quick pace, and my girl is a trooper, so maybe she just wasn’t showing signs of distress, but it really didn’t seem to bother her. However, and this is just my option, I don’t see how, given the very thin layer of protection, that this would be a viable solution for anything other than a Very limited time on a hot surface. Some reviewers mention that their dogs try licking it off after application, but mine doesn’t show much interest in it. Its not that hard to apply, but be prepared that if you do so at home, or in a car, it does leave a little bit of visible, greasy feeling residue on hard surfaces and smooth fabric. I bought the 0.15 trial stick, which is very small, and somewhat expensive for the amount, however, they do make it very clear that this is a small trail size. In the end, I don’t know if this really works, but you do get more applications than you’d expect, and even if it only provides just marginal protection and comfort for my dog, the price is worth it. Giving this a product 3 stars because it has, in my option, pretty limited effectiveness when it comes to heat protection, which was the purpose for my purchase.

I am absolutely thrilled with the Dog Paw Balm, and it's been a game-changer for my furry companion! This little trial stick is a powerhouse of protection for my dog's paws. Whether it's scorching hot pavement, abrasive sand, salty sidewalks, or icy snow, this balm has proven its worth.The fact that it's made from organic and all-natural ingredients gives me peace of mind, knowing that I'm using a safe and gentle product on my pet. Application is a breeze - the stick format makes it convenient and mess-free. It's incredibly effective at moisturizing and shielding my dog's paw pads from the elements.Since using this paw balm, I've noticed a remarkable reduction in paw pad dryness and cracking. My dog seems much more comfortable during our outdoor adventures, and that brings me so much joy. If you're looking for a reliable and natural solution to protect your dog's paws, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this paw balm a try. It's become an essential part of our routine, and I'm beyond impressed with the results!

I like the small size of this paw balm. It has a pleasant scent. The balm isn’t thick and only takes a small amount to use per paw. It works great for my male mini dachshund. He needs this in the winter for his little dry paw pads. This balm helps keep them from cracking. Very easy to use and store away. I highly recommend purchasing this item if your dogs paw pads get dry and crack.

Unfortunately, the lane where I walk my dog is salted every winter. I use this balm to soothe my poodle's paws. I also find that it provides some-- but not total-- protection from irritation.
