Vets PreferredPaw Balm Pad Protector for Dogs – Dog Paw Balm Soother – Heals, Repairs and Moisturizes Dry Noses and Paws – Ideal for Extreme Weather Season Conditions - 2 Oz

This stuff is a miracle! Great results first time I used it on my senior dog's paw pads. It does have a medicinal smell, but not too strong. Very easy to use. My dog did not try and lick it off. It made his dry cracked paw pads soft after one use. I am using it multiple times a day to get his paws back to the soft black pads that they should be. I am ordering another can!!

This balm works great on my Cane Corso’s dry paws and elbows!! A little bit goes a long way!!

I adopted a shelter dog with not much known about him. He has always had very rough pads almost like sand paper. I finally started looking at balms and I’m not sure how I landed on this one. I’ve only used it once, maybe twice because I’m a mediocre dog mom doing the best I can. Let me tell you, I saw a HUGE improvement in those uses! They don’t feel as rough anymore and his pads no longer scrape me. They are now soft and I’m sure that’s a relief to him since we live in Phoenix and it’s so hot out. It smells like like a mixture of eucalyptus and Vicks but I like that earthy/menthol scent. The only thing I don’t like is the packaging, personally I am not a fan of these tins. For me, they are difficult to open and the balm had shifted so it was not a great first impression. The balm itself 10/10 the container for me was just meh because it never feels like it’s fully closed and I hate opening tins but that’s just me! Attached is a picture of a happy dog because he has soft paws

I like this balm because it is safe for my dog, in case she licks it off. She's a rescue, and her paws got some chafed spots because she wasn't used to walking so much. This does the trick to help her heal, and protect her paws from further wear. Of course she hates when I put it on, but she doesn't seem to mind it after that.The smell is very strong (fills the whole room), but is a pleasant, natural smell. I've decided to put the balm on her outside, right before we go on a walk. That way, she doesn't lick it off, and the mess is kept to a minimum. I agree that the lid is difficult to open, but I've figured out how to shimmy it off.My tub came perfectly intact, without leakage or melting into a big glob on the side. This is saying a lot, considering that I live in the hot desert, where we have to keep chocolate bars in the fridge!

I recently noticed that my 3-year-old husky's paws were dry and beginning to crack. He also began developing hyperkeratosis, so I knew I had to do something to heal his poor paws. After doing research I came across this balm and decided to give it a try. The scent and texture reminds me of medicated petroleum jelly. I have been applying it once a day for the last 3 days and have begun noticing a huge difference. The area where my dog's paws were dry and beginning to crack are now smoother and softer. The area where he has hyperkeratosis are taking a little longer to heal, but I can still tell it's working. It doesn't seem to bother my dog either. He tries to lick it off at first, but as soon as I distract him with a treat or a favorite toy he forgets it's on his paws. The product advertises that it can be used on noses too, but I haven't tried that yet.

The camphor smell was unpleasant to me and my dog. It also made him slip on pur tille floors

I have a German Shorthair and her ears get very broken (slitting her ear tips) and crust. I found this and been using it for 3 weeks. As you can see her ears have cleared up tremendously! See photos of before where her ears looked like sores and to think a vet said we would have to cut her ears off on those areas! This stuff works for ears too!

This smells so good! My pet enjoys it on her paws. Has made the rough, cracked paws soft and smooth again.
