Natural Dog Company Paw Soother Dog Paw Balm, 4-fl oz tin

Editor's note

This balm is the guide's pick for pads that are already scraped, where the job shifts from prevention to healing. It is a heavier formula than a walk-bag paw wax, in a 4 oz tin that the guide says lasts a large dog through a season.

Rinse debris out with plain water first. After applying, keep the dog busy for two or three minutes so the balm soaks in rather than getting licked off. The listing calls the formula lick-safe, but a cone for the first hour is still not overkill.

Do not count on it for hot pavement. Wax does not meaningfully insulate against 140°F asphalt. Change the walking time instead. A deep cut, or bleeding that will not stop, needs a vet the same day.
