Dog shampoo and balm, plus paw pad wax: cosmetic care products for paws, nose, skin and coat. They are cosmetics and do not replace a vet visit.
Dog shampoo and balm: what to choose
For paws, nose and skin we have five products, each with its own purpose:
- Protective paw pad wax: applied before the walk, not after. Plant waxes form a film between the skin and hot asphalt, salted snow or gravel.
- Moisturizing paw pad balm: for after the walk, or when the paw feels rough to the touch.
- Nose balm: for a dry or rough nose. Easiest to apply in the evening, before bedtime, when the dog is calm.
- Skin fold balm: for dogs with folds, such as bulldogs and pugs. Applied into the fold.
- Dry skin balm: applied locally, on the dry area.
The balms and the wax come in three formats: a 30 ml tin, applied with your fingertips, a 59 ml retractable stick, applied directly, and a 4.5 ml travel stick for your pocket.
Dog shampoo: oat or aloe vera
We have two shampoos, each in a 355 ml bottle. The one with colloidal oat and aloe vera is made for sensitive skin; you use it at regular bath time, about once a month or when needed. The one for dogs that scratch has aloe vera in second place after water and can be part of the regular bath.
When to see the vet
If a paw is bleeding, swollen or smells bad, if the dog limps or the itching does not stop, see your veterinarian. A cosmetic product does not make a diagnosis.
For long walks, see our leather accessories. After the bath, a treat makes the moment nicer.
