Nina Woof Vegan Dog Nose & Paw Balm, 1.7-oz tin

Editor's note

The guide's first choice on hot pavement is a boot with a rubber sole. A wax is a thin layer of insulation. A sole is a barrier. This balm is the option for a dog that refuses footwear, for short crossings of hot ground rather than a long walk on it. The listing gives shea butter, vitamin E and avocado oil in a formula that is safe to lick.

The seven-second test comes first. Back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds, and if you want to pull away it is too hot for the dog, balm or no balm.

Walk on grass or shaded dirt when you can. A balm is the smallest tool in the guide, and it is no defense against a surface that fails the test.
