A person’s hand holds a golden-red dog paw. A white tub of "PALMER'S Cocoa Butter Paw Pad & Nose Balm" with a dog's photo is displayed next to it. A blue speech bubble with an arrow points from the balm to the paw, reading "PROTECTS AND HEALS", highlighting the product's benefits.

As a dog ages, their paw pads can become dry and cracked, which can lead to discomfort and a reduced ability to grip smooth surfaces. This loss of traction can make slipping more likely, impacting their stability and confidence.

A simple and effective solution is to relieve dry paw pads with a nourishing balm. Products like Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Paw Pad & Nose Balm are specially formulated to soften, moisturise, and protect your older dog’s rough, dry skin.

By gently massaging their paws with a dedicated balm, you can create a simple, regular care routine that significantly improves traction and grip. This not only supports their physical comfort but also encourages them to stay active and confident in their movements around the home and outdoors.

This small but thoughtful step in your senior dog’s grooming routine can make a big difference in their daily well-being and mobility.
