Just whipped up this Organic Paw & Nose Balm and I’m OBSESSED 😍🐾

If your pup has dry paws or a chapped nose (especially after summer walks or cold winter days), this is a game-changer! It’s all-natural, super moisturizing, and safe if they lick it 🐶💕

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp shea butter

1 tbsp beeswax (grated or pellets)

1 tbsp olive oil or sweet almond oil

½ tsp vitamin E oil (optional but amazing for extra nourishment!)

How I made it:
Melt everything together in a double boiler (or glass bowl over hot water), stir well, pour into tins, and let cool. That’s it!

I keep one by the door and swipe a little on my dog’s paws after walks. Smells soooo good and keeps them soft and healthy! ✨

🚫🐶 Blue-Green Algae: A Deadly Danger For Dogs!

Blue-green algae might look like harmless scum or discolored water … but it's actually toxic bacteria that can make your dog very sick — or even be deadly. Just a quick swim or a sip of contaminated water is enough to cause serious harm.

Toxins from blue-green algae can lead to:
⚠️ Liver damage or failure
⚠️ Seizures, tremors, or paralysis
⚠️ Vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
⚠️ Breathing issues
⚠️ Disorientation or even coma

Symptoms can show up within 30 minutes, so always keep a close eye after water play. If you notice any of these signs, get your dog to the vet right away!

👉 You can even test your water at home before letting your pup swim!

We are rehoming our 3 year old ABCA Border Collie male. Wrangler is a sweetheart and has lived on the farm and in town with our daughter so he’s been exposed to farm life & dog parks ect. He’s very intelligent and knows commands, house broke, kennel trained, great farm guard. We are downsizing and it’s no fault of his own. He has a shy disposition at first but very sweet and affectionate. He’s not high drive and more a companion dog. Good with other dogs, cats, children - just shy and will need to meet you. He weighs about 52 pounds. Not neutered. He is not an alpha personality more a laid back docile dog. Very beautiful and has a green eye and a blue eye. I would prefer he goes to someone who already loves the breed. Message me with questions or if interested.
