My babies pads get rough, well not to rough as they are indoors all the time. But still a little, dogs need moisture to right? ;-) So has anyone used Paw balm and what are your thoughts on it? I found an organic one that says it is safe incase they lick.

WOW..no comments on this topic? I really want to know if it is something that actually works or another marketing ploy, seeing as pet industry is huge and growing!

You can use Bag Balm. I got some here in Quebec for 9.99, for 10 ounces, it feels like vaseline. Apparently Shania Twain uses it on her face.

Bag Balm is a salve originally intended to soothe irritation on cows' udders. Although the product only mentions use "For chapped conditions and superficial abrasions" it used as a treatment for chapped and irritated skin on humans and can be found in drug stores and ski resorts. It has also gained popularity as a post-tattoo skin soother.

Bag Balm is made by the Dairy Association Co. in Lyndonville, Vermont and Rock Island, Quebec. The product is known for its characteristic 10 oz green tins featuring a cow's head and red clovers on the lid. It has been in production since 1899.

The active ingredients of Bag Balm are 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate 0.3% (antiseptic) in a petrolatum and lanolin base.

I have never heard of that product! I will look into it. I live in Florida so it is not due to snow or ice, just from running around on the cool deck. The pads seem to be rough to me when I am petting their paws. I wanted something to smoothe them out, ya know like we get chapped or rough hands..we put on Nivea or something. LOL Ok so maybe my babies are bit spoiled. I just wanted to see if this stuff works and is it safe.

Thanks for the feedback ;-)

I have used bag balm on beagle but she hates when people touch her pads.

I have also used it one of the cats before but for the life of me I don't remember why-LOL!

It is fairly inexpensive and found at most stores- even our Walmart carries it.

LOL That would have been funny to see you putting that on your cat :-)

I can't imagine anyone putting this stuff on your face It smells horrible to me.

I would never go as far as using as face cream! lol I have heard of preperation H to minimize wrinkles, so I guess people will try anything! ;-)

Cider won holistic paw care products at slobberfest this summer. One for daily maintenance, one for cracked pads, but I haven't had the need to use either yet, so I'm not sure if we like them.. Sorry.
