Care Routines for Active or Sporting Dogs’ Paw Pads

Sporting or active dogs, whether they’re involved in agility, running, or frequent outdoor adventures, put a lot of strain on their paw pads. These tough yet sensitive areas can suffer from wear, cold, heat, or rough terrain. To ensure your dog can continue to enjoy their active lifestyle without pain or discomfort, it’s crucial to establish a proper paw care routine. Here’s why regular care is essential for sporting dogs and how the Paws & Nose - Complete Shield balm can make a difference.

Protecting Against Wear from Physical Activity

Dogs participating in intense activities like jogging, hiking, or canine sports are exposed to various surfaces that can damage their paw pads. Rocky trails, asphalt, or muddy grounds can lead to cracks, scrapes, or abrasions.

Why it’s important:

• Preventing cracks and cuts: Regular activity on rough or uneven terrain can weaken your dog’s paw pads, making them more prone to cuts or cracks. Without proper care, these injuries can become painful and infected.

• Maintaining paw pad flexibility: Dry and damaged paw pads lose their natural elasticity, increasing the risk of injury during sporting activities.

Paws & Nose - Complete Shield balm acts as a protective barrier against external stressors. It deeply hydrates the paw pads, making them more flexible and resistant to wear. Apply the balm before outdoor adventures to prevent injuries and shield your dog’s paws.

Repairing After a Long Day of Exercise

Even with proper preparation, a sporting dog’s paw pads will inevitably wear down over time. After a long day of intense activity, it’s essential to care for your dog’s paws to promote skin regeneration and prevent more serious lesions.

Why it’s important:

• Soothing paw pads after exertion: After hours of running or walking, your dog’s paw pads may become tender and need soothing care.

• Preventing worsening of micro-injuries: Even small scrapes can become more serious if not treated in time. Applying a restorative balm helps prevent these complications.

Paws & Nose balm contains natural ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter, known for their soothing and restorative properties. After a workout, clean your dog’s paws and apply the balm to hydrate and aid the healing of minor wounds.

Protecting Paw Pads from Extreme Weather Conditions

Sporting dogs are often exposed to harsh weather conditions, whether it’s the scorching heat of summer or the cold and salt-covered roads in winter. These factors can cause irreversible damage to paw pads if they’re not properly protected.

Why it’s important:

• In summer: Protection from heat: Hot pavement can burn or dry out your dog’s paw pads. A protective balm creates a barrier to minimize the effects of heat.

• In winter: Guarding against cold and salt: Cold weather dries out paw pads, and road salt can cause significant irritation. The balm acts as a barrier to protect against these aggressors.

By applying Paws & Nose balm before every outing, you give your dog protection from weather conditions while maintaining hydration and flexibility in their paw pads.

Establishing a Regular Care Routine to Prevent Injuries

The key to healthy paw pads is regular care. It’s recommended to check and moisturize your dog’s paw pads after every physical activity, even if there are no visible signs of irritation or injury.

Why it’s important:

• Long-term prevention: Regular hydration helps strengthen paw pads, making them more resistant to daily wear.

• Early detection of problems: By adopting a regular routine, you can quickly spot signs of discomfort or injury, allowing you to act before the situation worsens.

Paws & Nose balm can be applied daily or after every outdoor session to keep your dog’s paw pads soft, hydrated, and healthy. Regular care helps prevent injuries and enhances your dog’s performance and comfort during sporting activities.

Active and sporting dogs put a lot of strain on their paw pads, so it’s essential to provide them with a proper care routine. The Paws & Nose - Complete Shield balm is the ideal companion to protect, repair, and hydrate your dog’s paw pads before and after every outing.
