Musher's Secret Paw Protection Natural Dog Wax

I ordered this product hoping that it would protect my dog's paws from salt, and it works perfectly. I live in Minnesota and people use a lot of really harsh salt on the sidewalk. This used to be a big problem but now she can walk on it just fine. She also doesn't limp anymore when she walks through ice and snow. When I first put it on, she really wanted to lick it off, but I read on the website to try applying it immediately before going outside and that's been working. It doesn't seem to alter the appearance of her paws in any way. Also it smells great.

We moved to the north and this is our first year in snow. Ice cubes were forming in Tramps's paws when walking in the snow, after walking in the snow/cold sidewalks for a couple weeks his paws started bleeding. The day after the bleeding the Musher's Secret came in the mail. I cleaned up Tramp's paws really good, dried them off and put the Musher's Secret on, twice a day. I couldn't believe the improvement in his paws. I'll always make sure I have some on hand.

This was the best of the three paw creams/waxes we purchased together to try on our pups paws. I think we will use them in combination, the moisturizer at night and this for longer walks and outings. We use wax in the summer but it's winter in Texas now and we noticed cracked pads and gravel in between them. The prices are also a bit lower, as usual on Chewy then at Dogologie.

Our pup hates booties but we live in a place that is harsh on the paws in the winter. We bought this to help his cracking paws, and it works really well! We saw noticeable improvement after just 3 applications. It is a bit hard to apply, I thought it would be softer but it's kind of a solid wax. I usually use my fingers to get enough and then rub it on his paws. Really good product, I wish it came in a stick applicator or something easier!

My dog (50lb husky/lab) became a completely paralyzed giant baby when I tried to get her to wear boots, so instead I decided to try this on her paws when we went snowshoeing. We were in 25 degree weather for about three hours and I only had to reapply the wax once. The wax was easy to apply and once it was on, the dog wasn't bothered by it at all. She seemed totally comfortable and didn't get any ice balls on her feet.

I love this product. I am happy that I went with the larger size because I knew it would get alot of use. This is a good product to keep paws protected and hydrated - it's like lotion but for pets. My puppy leaves this alone and enjoys when I put this on her paws. It even helps my hands too - especially with COVID and all the cleaning chemicals that are used at my job.

So far I have used this on our Jack Russell before hiking in the snow and taking walks around the neighborhood in winter. He no longer limps after walking over sidewalk salt and seems totally comfortable on snowy trails. I still need to try it before hiking icy trails and in the summer for walking on hot pavement, but I feel like I’m keeping his paws moisturized and protected at the same time.

After years of trying to find boots that my dogs would wear, I finally tried this stuff. It works wonders! We've been able to keep our walking routines into the winter. And even after we got sleet and there was a lot of sidewalk salt around, they were able to walk over it without pain! Great foot protection and easy to apply.

Gracie just loves when I get down on the floor with her and start messaging her paws with Musher's Secret. Gracie plays very hard all day at doggie daycare with her dog buddies and to get a paw rub down she is in heaven. I guess just like anyone else that gets a foot message, it a moment in time just zoned out. Gracie is a 1yr old German Shepherd at 75 lbs.

Bought this because we live in WI and we walk our 2 new dogs a lot. I thought I'd try this before boots, it just seemed easier. We have had a pretty easy winter so far (knocking on wood) so have only used this 2x. Both times there was no limping or crying from the salt or ice. So far I am happy with this product.
