Living in Michigan, I know a thing or two about getting through a rough winter. Yes, it gets as cold as you’ve heard! Anyway, being a dog mom to a spunky shih tzu yorkie mix with sensitive paws, I am always looking for ways to make our wintertime walks safer and more comfortable for my pup. Boots can be a pain to put on and take off, and often don’t stay on for the duration of our walk. So, when I saw this paw protectant on sale at Chewy, I was very intrigued. Could this be the cold-weather miracle I’ve been looking for?
Musher’s Secret Paw Protection Natural Dog Wax is available in three sizes: 60 grams, 200 grams and one pound. This paw protectant might be just what you and your doggie need for a safer and happier winter. That said, this wax is great to use year-round and can protect your dog’s paw pads in various weather conditions.
