Going Hiking or to the Beach? Don’t Forget Your Dog’s Paw Balm
by Dimitris Zikos on Jul 28, 2025

Heading out for a hike or a day at the beach with your dog? While you may remember the water bottle, leash, and treats, there's one more essential you shouldn't forget: a natural paw and nose balm. Outdoor adventures are enriching for your furry companion, but they can also expose them to rough terrain, hot sand, saltwater, and sharp surfaces that can cause irritation or injury to sensitive paw pads and noses.
Nature’s First Aid Kit: Powerful Ingredients with a Purpose
St. John's Wort
Known for its soothing and regenerative properties, St. John's Wort helps heal minor cuts, abrasions, and bruises. It also calms inflamed or overworked skin—perfect after a long hike or walk on coarse sand.
Comfrey
This herb is prized for supporting wound healing and tissue regeneration. It helps relieve discomfort from cracked paws or surface scrapes and is especially helpful for accelerating recovery from minor paw injuries.
Calendula
Calendula is a go-to herb for skin calming and repair. It reduces inflammation, helps with healing, and soothes itchy or irritated areas. It’s gentle enough for daily use and safe even if licked.
Nourishment and Moisture: Butters and Oils that Protect and Restore
Shea Butter & Aloe Butter
These rich butters deeply moisturize and help restore elasticity in dry or cracked paw pads. Aloe butter also offers cooling relief from burns or hot sand exposure, making it perfect for beach days.
Avocado Oil & Castor Oil
Avocado oil is full of vitamins A, D, and E, supporting skin cell renewal and softening rough patches. Castor oil adds a thick, protective layer and offers gentle antimicrobial benefits to shield your pup’s paws from contaminants.
Neem Oil & Vitamin E
Neem is a natural antibacterial and antifungal oil known for calming irritation and deterring bugs—ideal for forest trails or sandy dunes. Vitamin E nourishes the skin and promotes healthy cell regeneration, keeping paws in optimal condition.
Wax (Beeswax or Plant-Based)
Wax acts as a natural barrier, shielding paw pads and noses from moisture loss, salt, sand, and sharp surfaces. It helps seal in all the other healing ingredients without clogging pores.
