Your dog’s paws are essential for their mobility and overall well-being. They are exposed daily to various conditions such as rough surfaces, hot or cold temperatures, and moisture. Without proper care, problems like cracks, irritations, or painful wounds can quickly arise. Fortunately, with the right products, you can effectively protect and care for your dog’s paws.
By regularly maintaining and checking your dog’s paws, you can prevent discomfort and keep them in top condition. Paw care can range from cleaning after a walk to applying a protective balm or trimming the nails. What you need exactly depends on the situation, so let’s look at the different options.
Overgrown nails can cause discomfort while walking and may even press into the paw pad. Regular trimming with a special dog nail clipper can prevent this and help your dog walk comfortably. How often trimming is needed depends on the type of surface your dog walks on. Also remember to check your dog’s cuticles. If they are sensitive, a product like Maxani PyoMax Brush can help support them.
It’s important to clean your dog’s paws regularly, especially after walks through mud, snow, or on sandy and salty paths. Dirt and bacteria can build up between the toes and paw pads, causing discomfort or skin sensitivity. Sharp pebbles, thorns, or de-icing salt can also damage the sensitive pads.
You can easily clean the paws with a damp cloth, a lukewarm footbath (possibly with fizzy foot tablets), or special cleaning wipes. For deeper cleaning, paw washers or mild dog shampoos are a good option. Always dry the paws thoroughly afterward to avoid moisture buildup. With proper care, your dog’s paws stay clean, comfortable, and protected from external factors.
Applying paw balm can help protect and nourish the pads, but it’s not always necessary. In certain situations, a special balm or cream can keep the pads soft and hydrated, while in other cases, it’s best to leave the natural protective layer of the skin undisturbed.

When not to apply balm:
In summer, hot surfaces like asphalt, tiles, and sand can be harsh on your dog’s paws. The pads can quickly overheat and become sensitive, especially during sunny days. To prevent discomfort, it’s important to protect your dog’s paws at such times.
You can avoid heat-related problems by walking your dog on grass or shaded paths as much as possible. Avoid hot asphalt – a good test is to place your hand on the surface for five seconds. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your dog. Biking with your dog on hot days is not recommended. The combination of exertion and hot pavement can overheat and even damage the paws. Prefer walking your dog early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperature is milder.
Special paw balms like Maxani Kerasooth or Dogslife Paw & Nose Balm can help keep the paw pads soft and hydrated. Dog shoes offer extra protection if you need to walk on hot surfaces. Always check your dog’s paws after a walk and cool them down with lukewarm water if necessary. This way, your dog stays comfortable and safe—even on warm days.
If you notice your dog is limping, licking their paw often, or if a paw pad is red or warm, they may have a sensitive or irritated paw. There are many possible causes: dirt or pebbles between the toes, an overgrown nail, or a damaged pad. Other factors such as grass seeds can embed themselves into the skin and cause discomfort. Allergies or excessive licking due to itchiness can also make the skin between the toes or on the pads sensitive.
It’s important to inspect the paw carefully and clean it gently with lukewarm water or a special cleaning solution. In some cases, disinfecting may be helpful, such as when a small wound is visible or if the paw has come into contact with mud or dirt. If a fizzy foot bath isn’t an option, you can use a mild antiseptic product like Maxani Cleanser Spray or Clorexyderm Spot Gel. Then dry the paw thoroughly and prevent your dog from licking it constantly—a sock can help. Applying a cream such as AtopOat can support skin recovery and relieve itchiness.
If your dog keeps licking, is limping, or you notice swelling, redness, or a foreign object, it’s best to consult your veterinarian. Early treatment prevents the problem from worsening and ensures your dog can walk comfortably again soon.
