Livestock guardian dogs and other working dogs can develop dry, cracked paw pads and accumulate snow clumps in the wintertime. To keep my pups on the homestead comfortable in the snow, I make my own Buddy Balm. Here’s my recipe:
Buddy Balm Recipe 2oz dried beeswax, melted 2oz olive oil 2oz coconut oil, melted 1 drop vitamin E oil Combine all liquified ingredients in a heat safe container and stir well to combine. Pour into a storage jar with a lid. Use the cooled balm by rubbing just a bit onto each paw. The pads are instantly moisturized and will stay snow free! Safe for outdoor cats too. P.S. This is great for human skin too! Comments are closed.
