Our pets rely on their paws and noses every single day — for play, exploration, and connection. But did you know these areas are also some of
the most vulnerable parts of a dog’s body? From scorching sidewalks to dry indoor air, your dog’s paws, nose, and elbows can easily become dry,
cracked, or irritated if left unprotected.

Common Issues That Affect Paws, Noses, and Elbows

• Dryness & Cracking: Just like human skin, pet skin loses moisture. This can lead to painful cracks.
• Hot Pavement Burns: Summer heat can turn sidewalks into sizzling surfaces.
• Ice & Salt Damage: In colder months, road salt and ice-melt chemicals can cause irritation.
• Allergies: Environmental triggers (grass, pollen) can cause redness and itchiness.

• Summer: Pavement and sand can reach 140°F or more. If you can’t stand barefoot, neither can your dog.
• Winter: Cold, dry air plus salt or ice-melt chemicals can chap skin and sting paws.
• Indoors: Heating systems dry out the air, leading to cracked noses and elbows.

Natural Ways to Protect & Heal

• Wipe paws after every walk to remove irritants.
• Avoid midday walks on hot surfaces.
• Keep water bowls filled to support hydration.
• Use protective balms to lock in moisture and create a barrier.

Building a Care Routine

Consistency is key. A weekly check of your pet’s paws, nose, and elbows can
prevent bigger issues. Look for redness, cracks, or changes in texture.
