To soothe your dog's irritated paws, avoid unnecessary movements, because dogs aren't aware of how much they move, you need to be proactive at preventing your dog from walking unnecessarily. Make your dog's bed extra comfortable and do your best to keep him on it. Extra plush toys, yummy treats, and obviously, your presence next to it! Use an Antiseptic and Soothing Paw Cream, some creams are antiseptic, others are soothing, and a few do both. Before applying any cream on your dog's paw, you want to cleanse the area fully using baby wipes or salted water. Wait until it is totally dry to start applying the cream. At first, just use a small bit to make sure your dog does not react badly to it. Bandaging the paw yourself or at the vet will help to make sure your dog doesn't lick that precise spot and allows for a better cicatrization. Having your dog wear a collar is the only sure option to avoid this counterproductive behavior.

Washing your dog’s paws with water or a natural, skin cooling, shampoo like our Dog Shampoo after long walks outside could also help. The Dog Gel is amazing if your dog is chewing their paw pads, as the cooling gel texture provides some instant relief. It’s also easy to apply and very gentle for the sensitive skin of the pads. Issues with yeast, fungus or parasites could also be contributing to your dog’s itchy paws – but since Anicura has products with antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, you won’t have to resort to using harsh chemical treatments that might damage your dog’s skin even further. The Dog Spray is a bit more potent, as it has a number of essential oils that will calm and nourish the skin. Therefore, we recommend using it over the Gel if your dog is biting the tops of their paws or their legs – essentially, the somewhat less sensitive areas. The liquid of the Spray is so fine that it will sink into the skin super quickly, and it feeds the skin healthy nutrients to make it stronger and more able to fend off flare ups in the future.
