What is Heal. Wag. Protect, Balm?
Just like us, our pets can get dry, flaky, rough, and cracked skin. Yet, while we have grocery store aisles dedicated to repairing our skin, there is barely anything available to our pets. Well, it’s time we end that so we created our Hemp-derived Heal. wag. Protect Balm for dog's paws and joints.
How do dogs naturally release toxins?
Some people might not know this but dogs do not sweat in the way we do. They need to pant to release the heat from their bodies and will "sweat" with their tongue. Also, they release oils through their paw pads and foot pads similar to what we would consider sweating. This is why a dog will wipe his paws on the grass after he does his duty. This is their way of leaving their scent where they marked their spot.
Why are a dogs paw pads so important?
A dogs paws are very important to them and their health as they are acting very similar to sweat glands. Imagine not being able to release the toxins in your own body, your skin would become oily and itchy, toxins would be building up daily. This is what happens when your dogs paw pads dry out. When this happens and it will cause your dog to start licking at their paws incessantly and later down the line start itching all over their body as their skin will begin to suffer. Certain breeds, such as German Shepherds, will have a tendency to have dry paw pads more often than other breeds. It's just part of their genetic disposition. That makes it extra important to be aware of paw protection as you do not want to encounter more problems down the line.
We love our dogs and we have always known about this issue but their was never a truly safe skin balm in the market for pets from our perspective. Most had ingredients that you could not pronounce and many were not safe for ingesting so pet owners with dogs who lick were not able to use those products. We wanted to create a paw balm that could do it all, and it was a lot of work, but we're happy to say it paid off!
