WashBar Paw Balm for your Dog's Feet

The WashBar Paw Balm uses an exciting combination of oils in organic beeswax to create a balm which is ideal to use when your dog's paws have become dry or damaged through heat, cold or general hard work.

During the hot summer months surfaces such as tarmac on roads, concrete footpaths, hot sand on beaches and play areas get very hot. This can cause damage and a great deal of discomfort to paws. The WashBar Paw Balm can help relieve the discomfort and begin to repair the damage, whilst moisturising and nourishing the skin.

Other extreme weather conditions like snow and ice can be just as damaging to paws: road grit and salt can cause pads to become dry, cracked and ultimately infected.

Rubbing WashBar Paw Balm into damaged feet in summer or winter moisturises and repairs cracks and it also helps prevent or relieve infection.

Then there’s the everyday wear and tear on working dogs. To a large extent, your dog’s paw pads are the most vulnerable part of his body to injury.

Dogs that run all day on rough terrain or gravel races need a bit of extra TLC at the end of the day. Regularly rubbing some WashBar Paw Balm onto working feet helps to keep them in top condition.

Dogs love to lick their paws, in fact some dogs can be a bit obsessive when it comes to licking. You can feel confident knowing every last ingredient that goes into this balm is completely safe – if your dog licks it off, just reapply.

Excessive Dog Barking: Tips & Advice

Barking is a common, frustrating problem for many dog owners. It can cause anything from mild annoyance to neighbourly disputes to formal disciplinary council action. In addition to being hugely stressful to owners, nuisance barking is potentially very dangerous for the dog. Barking can sadly lead to harsh unnecessary punishment, erosion of the human-animal bond and a higher risk of surrender and premature euthanasia. In some extreme cases, barking can lead to dogs being maliciously poisoned. For all these reasons, barking is an issue warranting solid understanding and appropriate intervention. Barking has previously received little exploration among the scientific community, despite being one of the most conspicuous features of dog behaviour. WHAT DOES BARKING MEAN? Barking is a vocal form of communication, used for both dog-to-dog and dog-to-people communication.
