Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Great question. There are many ice melt products that are safe for pets. Non-toxic and non-irritating. You can also buy booties for Wolverine which would protect his paws while he is outside. Some dogs won't wear these so it's going to be a trial and error. Also, you can rinse and wipe his paws off after he goes outside to remove any ice melt that he stepped on and remove any snow that is stuck to his paws or hair coat. Again, great question. Good luck with Wolverine this winter.

Great question! I recommend Musher's Secret, it's a safe paw wax that helps protect a dog's paws in winter. You can get it off the internet or possibly in a pet store. Another option is booties. Some people put booties on their dogs for walks outside to protect them against the snow, ice, and salt on the roads and sidewalks. Some dogs are fine with the booties while others absolutely hate them, so Musher's Secret would be your best bet to try first. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Hi. Sounds like it is freezing!! That's great that you are protecting Brody's feet. Yes, this is safe, but I'm not sure it helps with warmth. But yes, safe if he links his feet. You can also wipe his feet with a warm moist washcloth in between as well to help discourage linking and contact. Good luck. Stay warm

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Vaseline is safe to use but if you want something more natural then the ResQ skin treatment is all natural and would be fine to use to apply to the paw pads until resolved. If the paw pads begin to look swollen or show any signs of infection (pus, etc.) then I would recommend having Snowball examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I don't recommend it. Although quite safe on superficial wounds, dogs lick and ingest most of the topical ointment you apply and therefore should be used only under direct veterinary supervision and if there are no other appropriate options. Many human ointments contain multiple other ingredients which are not necessarily safe to be swallowed.
