Cleaning dog paws: 4 steps after a walk

Step 2: Clean the dog paws with clean water

If the paws are extremely dirty, or after a walk in the snow, on the beach, or in the fields, it helps to thoroughly clean the paws with lukewarm, clean water. You can do this either under running water or with a bowl or washcloth. This can also remove stubborn and possibly invisible dirt, such as antifreeze, fertilizer, etc.

Step 3: Dry off!

Whether the paws got wet during a walk or you rinsed them, it's important to not only clean them but also dry them thoroughly. Moist and softened skin can create an ideal microclimate for bacteria and yeast, leading to skin infections. This is especially true for the paw pads due to the keratinized epithelium.

Step 4: Care for dog paws

After cleaning your dog's paws, we recommend applying Canosept Paw Care . With the help of high-quality ingredients such as apricot oil and panthenol, this paw care product provides rich care and moisture for the paws. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film and thus greasy patches on the floor, and also protects against dryness and cracking.
