We used to make our poor dog wear canvas booties whenever we brought her out in the snow. She hated them, and walked funny when she wore them, but it did protect her feet. If we didn’t put them on, she would howl in pain after about 5 or 10 minutes of being outside. I was never sure if it was the salt from the sidewalk or just the cold of the snow that bothered her, but I imagine this paw wax would have helped her either way.
Here is how to make some for your pup this winter from joybileefarm.com:
Ingredients:
4 tbsp. calendula infused olive oil*
2 tbsp. shea butter
1 tsp. carnauba wax

DIY Working Dog Paw Wax for Winter Conditions
To Use:
Apply to your dog’s paws before going outside, at least once a day. Be sure to rub it between the toe pads to prevent ice build-up. If the dog has cracked or broken skin, apply twice a day to encourage rapid healing.
The wax dries quickly on the paws.
