A natural shield for soft paws and a healthy nose

Every owner knows that a dog's paws are its "shoes", which come into contact with everything – from rough surfaces to chemicals on the pavement. Bugalugs Nose & Paw Balm is formulated to act as both a moisturiser and a protective layer. Colloidal oatmeal (oat kernel flour and oat kernel oil) nourishes and repairs dry, cracked skin and softens even the toughest tissue, while vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant.

Because it is completely free from paraffins and preservatives, this balm is gentle on your dog's sensitive nose. Its texture spreads easily, absorbs well and leaves the skin supple and protected. Whether you are getting ready for a walk in the snow or simply want to pamper your pet in the evening, this balm is an essential part of your home grooming kit.

When to use

Choose Bugalugs Nose & Paw Balm in the following 3 situations:

• For visible dryness, hyperkeratosis (rough skin) or painful cracks on your dog's paws and nose
• Before every outing in winter conditions, to protect the paw pads from the corrosive effect of de-icing salt and snow
• When you are looking for a clean, vegan and completely lick-safe product to keep your pet's skin soft and healthy

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: Is the balm safe if my dog licks it off straight away? Yes, Bugalugs Nose & Paw Balm is made entirely from natural plant oils and waxes. It is 100 percent edible and non-toxic. Even so, for it to work on the skin, it is a good idea to keep your dog distracted for a minute after applying it while the balm absorbs. Question 2: Can it be used to clean skin folds? Although it is intended mainly for the nose and paws, its ingredients are excellent for soothing irritated skin. For skin folds, however, we recommend Bugalugs Moisturising Cream, which has a lighter texture. The balm is better suited to areas that need a rich protective layer. Question 3: Does it leave marks on carpets and furniture? The balm is a rich, oil-based product. To avoid marks, massage the paws well until it is fully absorbed, or wait a minute before letting your dog walk on textile surfaces. It is best applied just before a walk or before bedtime.

Expert tip

Your dog may not say "thank you", but its tail will when its paws stop stinging from the salt. For best results in winter, always rinse the paws with lukewarm water after a walk to remove the salt, dry them well and then apply the balm. If your dog's nose is badly cracked, apply a thin layer 3 times a day – small, frequent doses work better than one heavy application.
