I have a german shepherd, and we are out a lot in the woods and big parks. She runs a lot and goes into all sorts of places. I use this balm all the time to help little scratches and keep her paws moisturized. She loves it!
We chose the Barkin & Meowson Hydrating Balm for Nose & Paw (60g / 2.12oz) for our golden retriever. Goldens can be prone to dry noses and rough paw pads and this Balm works well.Here’s why we like it:Vet Recommended: ConfidenceKnowing it’s veterinary dermatologist recommended gave us real peace of mind. We always want the safest products for our girl.98% Natural Ingredients:I love that it’s made with mostly natural ingredients ... it feels reassuring when applying something that she might lick.Incredible Nourishment for Dry Noses & Paws:Her nose was looking a little dry after the colder weather, and within days it was soft, smooth, and healthy-looking again. Her paw pads also feel much more supple and protected.Enriched with Almond & Shea Butter Oils:The texture is rich but absorbs beautifully. It melts into the skin without leaving a greasy mess on floors or furniture.Soothes, Softens & Hydrates:You can actually see and feel the difference. It visibly softens dry areas and keeps them hydrated between applications.Gentle, Fragrance & Paraben Free:No overpowering scent, no irritation ... just a clean, gentle formula that suits sensitive skin perfectly.As a golden retriever owner, we’re very particular about what we use, and this balm has become a staple in our routine. A little goes a long way, the tin lasts well, and our girl seems much more comfortable.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other dog owners.
I’ve only used this once so far, but I’m already impressed. My dog’s nose looks visibly less cracked, and she didn’t mind me applying it at all. The balm is soft and melts easily (kind of like coconut oil), so it goes on smoothly without feeling thick or waxy. Easy to apply and seems to be helping already. Seems to be really effective, smells neutral and personally I think it’s good value for a large tin that will last a long time
I’ve been trying to find a good balm to use on my dog’s pads having noticed that they were very dry, rough & cracked following the recent spell of frosty & snowy weather. She’s 10 years old & it’s the first time her paws have been like this, she doesn’t really like her feet being messed around with so I wasn’t sure how she’d take to having anything applied to her paws. I found the balm to be very soft, a bit too soft for my liking, it was messy to apply & my dog got a bit fed up with me trying to rub it into her pads. That said, I ended up rubbing the residue into my hands & it felt really nice! I’m sure if you’ve got a very calm, patient dog who doesn’t mind his/her feet being handled it would be easier to use, or if it’s just for use on a nose I’m sure it would be ok.
I recently took our Ragdoll cat to the vet for her checkup and the vet told me she had a bit of rough/hard skin on one of her paws. When I saw this paw balm i thought it might help so I ordered it.The balm comes in a handy tin. It has no discernable scent, it's completely unperfumed. The consistency reminds me a bit of lip balm or vaseline. It's very easy to apply. I was worried I'd see greasy paw prints all over the floor but it absorbs very quickly. It's a bit too early to tell how effective it is but our cat doesn't seem to mind it. She hasn't had any adverse reactions to it. As far as value goes £13.95 seems quite expensive but it's a nice big tub, a little goes a long way, so it should last a long time. Overall I'm happy with this balm and would recommend it.
