There are many products on the market designed to safely help with dry or cracked paws and skin issues in dogs.
These products are made with ingredients that are safe for dogs, even if ingested in small amounts.
While Vaseline is safe for human use, applying it to your dog’s skin or paws might not be advisable.
Ingesting Vaseline can cause upset stomachs or diarrhea in dogs.
Although not toxic, Vaseline is not meant for internal use and can interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption.
Skin Complications: While Vaseline is a barrier agent that can protect skin, in dogs, it can also trap bacteria and other debris against the skin, potentially leading to infections or worsening existing conditions.
For the health and comfort of your pet, it’s best to use products specifically formulated for them and to consult your vet for any concerns about your dog’s skin health.
