Dog paw care - should I put cream on my dog's paws?
Your dog's paws are exposed to various environmental influences year-round and are subjected to considerable daily wear and tear. To prevent dry paws and cracks, we recommend applying regular cream. For rich care and moisture, the Canosept Paw Care is ideal.
How often should I groom my dog's paws?
You can apply Canosept Paw Care to clean paws 2-3 times a week as a preventative measure or for general care. In cases of particular stress or for acute protection, Canosept Paw Care can also be applied daily, for example, before a walk.
Can my dog lick his paws after grooming? Or is grooming harmful?
You can safely use Canosept Paw Care on your dog. Even licking the quickly absorbed cream is harmless.
Dog paw care – how do I care for my dog’s paws?
Regular paw care is important for your dog's health. If your dog licks or chews his paws, or frequently slips on slippery floors, you know it's time for paw care.
In addition to applying paw cream, there are other measures for paw care for your dog. If your dog is already experiencing pain when walking or you notice any unusual behavior, you should consult your veterinarian.
How do I care for my dog's cracked paws?
With the products from the Canosept home medicine cabinet, cracks and minor paw injuries can be easily prevented and treated. Canosept Paw Care is ideal for preventing dry paws and cracks.
If a superficial injury does occur, the best option is Canosept Wound Spray . The spray is easy to spray onto the wound and provides optimal cleansing and care.
Canosept wound gel also offers optimal wound care and can be applied painlessly as a colorless and odorless gel, even under dressings and plasters, without causing the wound to stick together.
How do I care for my dog's claws?
Canosept Paw Care is ideal for caring for the claws and nail beds. Simply massage the product gently around the claws.
How useful is it to trim the fur between the pads?
Trimming the fur between the pads can prevent matting, especially in long-haired dogs. It can also prevent your dog from slipping on slippery surfaces. Furthermore, in winter, snow, ice, and grit can't get stuck between the toes. If you don't feel confident trimming the pad fur yourself, you can also consult an experienced dog groomer.
How do I remove foreign objects from my dog's paws?
You can remove superficial foreign bodies, such as thorns (e.g., from thorn hedges), yourself. However, you should be confident in using them, and your dog should already be accustomed to using tweezers. Use the tweezers in a way that avoids damaging the paws, pads, or the spaces between the feet. If other instruments are needed, or you are unsure, leave the removal to your veterinarian or a qualified professional.
However, foreign bodies can also quickly penetrate deep into the skin. Often, even in a veterinary practice, they can only be detected with experience and intensive examination. If foreign bodies have penetrated your dog's skin, you should always consult your veterinarian.
Dog paw care: Challenges in the different seasons
Whether it's spring, summer, fall, or winter—your dog's paws require year-round care. However, there are various seasonal impairments to paw health. But what should you pay attention to when caring for your dog's paws during the different seasons?
Spring
After the cold winter, walks often become longer again in spring. This, in turn, means greater strain on the paws and pads. Therefore, it's best to use Canosept Paw Care before walks, especially in spring.
Summer
The biggest summer nuisance for dog paws is the heat. To protect paws from this, we recommend avoiding walks on overly hot streets and sidewalks. To gauge the temperature of the paths, simply bend your knees and feel the asphalt or concrete. You'll be amazed at how hot the surface can be and the strain this puts on your dog's paws. Here, too, the protective layer of Canosept Paw Care helps support the paws.
Autumn
Late summer and autumn are harvest season. Husks from grains, stubble fields, and other crops pose a danger to your dog due to foreign bodies. Burdock and, for example, beechnut seed pods also tend to lodge between the pads. Therefore, check the sensitive pads, the spaces between the toes, and the claw beds closely for any foreign bodies, especially during this time of year.
winter
Wetness, ice, snow, and road salt all place a heavy strain on your dog's paws in winter. The changing temperatures caused by climate change also have a wintery impact on your dog's paws. Care for and protect your dog's paws in winter with Canosept Paw Care. Apply it as a preventative measure before and after every winter walk.
Conclusion
In addition to regularly applying Canosept paw cream to the paws, paw care also includes caring for the claws and treating cracked pads. Trimming the fur between the pads may also be necessary. Depending on the season, more intensive paw checks or care may be necessary. However, if you have any concerns, you should consult your veterinarian or a qualified professional.
