Coconut Oil for Dog Paws: A Simple Routine for Dry Paws
Rough, dry paw pads after walks on hot pavement, snow or salted sidewalks? Coconut Paws is a blend of organic cold-pressed coconut, olive and sunflower oils made for dogs. Massage a little into the pads. It may help soothe dry, rough paws.
How to use coconut oil on your dog's paws
- Start small. Take a small amount on your fingertips. Coconut oil softens fast in your hands.
- Massage it in. Work it into the paw pads and between the toes. Reviewers say their dogs love the paw massage.
- Wipe off the extra. Use a towel to take off anything that didn't soak in, so it stays off your floors.
Try it on a small area first. Stop using it if your dog's skin looks red or irritated.
