Ice and snow aren’t the only winter hazards for paws. Road salt and grit, scattered to keep pavements safe for us, can be surprisingly harsh on sensitive pads, causing dryness, cracking, and irritation with repeated exposure. Pets who lick their paws afterward may also end up ingesting these residues.
A few small habits go a long way in winter:
- Rinse and dry paws thoroughly after walks
- Check between toes for trapped ice balls or grit
- Apply a protective, nourishing balm before heading out
Aunty Mel’s Paw Magic was designed with exactly this in mind. A soothing barrier that helps protect against salt and grit, made from natural ingredients that are safe even if your pet gives their paws a lick along the way.
