Bugalugs Nose & Paw Balm Stick is a powerful, 100 percent natural care solution for the most delicate areas of your dog's body.

Quick summary: This nourishing vegan balm is specially formulated to hydrate, soothe and repair dry, rough or cracked paws and noses. Thanks to the innovative stick format, application is quick, clean and precise, with no need to touch the product with your hands. The rich formula of plant oils and waxes forms a protective barrier against harsh weather while penetrating deeply to soften the skin. The product is completely lick-safe, hypoallergenic and proudly carries the Made in UK badge.

Natural protection and intensive repair

A dog's paws and nose are constantly exposed to harsh conditions – from hot asphalt in summer to ice, salt and snow in winter. Bugalugs Nose & Paw Balm acts as an invisible glove that protects against drying out and injury. The sweet almond and coconut oils provide instant hydration, while shea butter heals small cracks and improves skin elasticity.

What makes this product unique is its purity. It contains no paraffins, artificial fragrances or harmful chemicals. Instead of beeswax, Bugalugs uses plant-based candelilla wax, which makes the product fully vegan. The stick format is extremely convenient to carry on walks, letting you act straight away if you notice your pet's paws are irritated or dry.

When to use

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

• For dry, rough or cracked paw pads and a peeling nose, to restore softness and comfort
• Before a walk on snow, ice or hot asphalt, to create a reliable protective layer against the weather and road salt
• When you are looking for a completely natural, vegan product that is safe for your dog even if it decides to lick its paws straight after application

• Lick-safe: Completely safe if small amounts are swallowed during self-cleaning.

Directions for use

Remove the cap and twist the base of the stick to expose the balm. Apply generously directly to your dog's paw pads and nose. For best results, use daily, especially before going out in extreme temperatures or in the evening before bedtime to let the oils absorb overnight. The balm is suitable for puppies over 8 weeks of age.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: How often should I apply the balm? For preventive care and to keep paws soft, applying it once a day is enough. For paws that are already cracked or very dry, use the product 2 to 3 times a day until the skin has fully recovered. Always apply before a walk in winter to protect against salt. Question 2: What happens if my dog licks off all the balm straight away? Bugalugs Nose & Paw Balm is made from 100 percent edible, natural plant ingredients and is completely lick-safe. Even so, for it to work on the skin, it is a good idea to distract your pet for a minute or two after applying it (for example with a treat) while the oils absorb. Question 3: Can the stick melt in summer? The balm contains natural oils and waxes that soften at high temperatures. To preserve the texture and quality of the stick, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and do not leave it in a hot car.

Expert tip

If your dog's paws are very rough, apply the balm in the evening just before it goes to sleep. The body regenerates fastest during sleep, and the lack of movement lets the sweet almond oil and shea butter penetrate the deepest layers of the skin without being rubbed off. In winter, always rinse the paws with lukewarm water after a walk to remove the salt, dry them and apply the stick straight away for maximum protection.
