When it comes to paw care, many products are packed with chemicals you can’t even pronounce. But your dog deserves better. Nature offers powerful ingredients that can heal, protect, and soothe their paws—without any harsh side effects.

If your pup deals with cracked pads, dry skin, or irritation, here are 5 natural ingredients you’ll want to look for in any paw balm (especially one like Pawlish 👣🌿).


1. Shea Butter

This super moisturizer isn’t just great for human skin—it works wonders on dogs too. Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E, shea butter deeply hydrates and restores damaged paw pads.

Why it’s amazing:
– Heals dryness and cracks
– Softens rough pads
– Forms a protective barrier


2. Coconut Oil

Nature’s antibacterial and antifungal hero. Coconut oil not only moisturizes but also protects against infections caused by small cuts or cracked skin.

Bonus benefit:
– Dogs love the smell (and even the taste)
– Soothing for itchy paws
– Safe if licked in small amounts


3. Calendula Extract

A flower that’s been used for centuries to heal skin wounds. Calendula is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps reduce redness, swelling, and irritation—especially great for paws affected by hot pavement or salted roads.

How it helps:
– Speeds up healing
– Calms inflamed skin
– Ideal for sensitive dogs


4. Vitamin E

This antioxidant powerhouse repairs skin, improves elasticity, and locks in moisture. In dogs, it works especially well on dry, chapped pads.

What to love:
– Repairs tissue
– Reduces flaking
– Supports skin regeneration


5. Beeswax

Nature’s shield. Beeswax creates a breathable layer on the paw pad, locking in moisture while keeping out dirt, salt, and harmful chemicals from the street.

Why it’s key:
– Acts as a natural barrier
– Prevents further damage
– Keeps paws protected during walks


Why It Matters

Your dog walks, runs, plays—and does it all barefoot. Their paws take them through hot pavement, cold snow, gritty sidewalks, and more. If you wouldn’t walk barefoot in those conditions, why let your pup do it unprotected?

Using a paw balm made with natural, safe ingredients is more than just pampering—it’s essential care.

That’s why Pawlish Healing Balm is packed with these 5 ingredients (and more). It’s designed to nourish, heal, and protect with zero harsh chemicals. Because your dog deserves paw care that’s just as kind as your love for them.
