Paw Care: Protecting Pads from Hot Pavement and Rough Floors

A side-by-side comparison illustrating the risk of hot pavement and rough surfaces causing cracked dog paws versus the solution of applying pet paw balm to moisturize and protect their pads.

Your pet's paws are tough, but they aren't shoes.

In Dhaka, pets face two main paw hazards:

  1. Summer Heat: Asphalt roads absorb heat. If it is 30°C outside, the road can be 50°C. This burns their pads.

  2. Rough Surfaces: Concrete rooftops and rough tiles dry out the pads, causing them to crack and bleed.

The Solution: Paw Balm

Think of pet paw balm as a heavy-duty moisturizer and wax shield combined.

How to Use It

  • Prevention: Apply a thin layer before a walk. The wax creates a barrier against heat and salt.

  • Healing: Apply a thick layer after a walk or before bed to soothe dry, cracked skin.

The 5-Second Rule

Before walking your dog in summer, place the back of your hand on the pavement for 5 seconds. If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for their paws.

Summary

Healthy paws mean happy walks. Keep them moisturized!
