Why care for dogs' paws
Not all carers know it, but dogs' and cats' pads can burn on very hot days. After all, as with humans, very hot floors hurt, so even a short walk can injure your pet.
What's more, burns in these places become difficult to treat, because the pet is unlikely to just lie down, and when it's on its paws, it can take longer for the pads to recover. So it's best to avoid the problem, as well as possible cuts, blisters, wounds and even detachment of the skin from the pads. When any of these situations occur, the site tends to become infected and healing is slow.
The reason for this is that pets' cushions are under constant pressure. Therefore, it is always better to prevent any problems that could happen to them. Including sunburned dog paws on very hot days. And the good news is that this care is actually quite simple.
How to prevent sunburned dog paws
The first tip to avoid hurting your pet's cushions on days when the sun is at its hottest is to avoid certain times of day. In particular, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., since this is when the sun's rays are strongest and the chances of burns are greatest.
Remember that the sand on the beach also gets hotter at this time of day. So anyone with their pet on the beach should take extra care. As well as avoiding walking on sidewalks and asphalt, which get hotter, it is an alternative to walk on grass, which can maintain a milder temperature.
Another tip for preventing sunburned dog paws is to make them more resistant. This happens when the dog walks on rougher floors and not just on smooth floors, as is often the case in apartments.
In any case, it is essential to use specific products to moisturize and protect the cushions. O Pet Glove consists of an invisible, flexible and non-slip cushion glove that promotes intense hydration. It is also water-resistant and contains Aloe Vera extract and Panthenol in its formula.
Another substance that helps rebuild the epidermal barrier is Calendula Oil, which has an emollient action. To take full advantage of the product's benefits, simply apply it to your pet's pads once a day or whenever necessary.
