🌞 Summer Paw Care: Protect Those Precious Paws! 🐾

✨ Simple Steps to Keep Paws Healthy

🐾Do the pavement test

Touch the surface with the back of your hand—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog. Walk during cooler morning or evening hours.

🐾Trim fur between paw pads

Long tufts can trap dirt, grass seeds, and moisture, leading to irritation or matting. A quick tidy keeps paws clean and comfortable.

🐾Moisturise regularly

Use a dog-safe paw balm to prevent dryness and cracking. Healthy pads are more resilient and less likely to injure easily.

🐾Check paws daily

After walks, inspect for grass seeds, cuts, or lodged debris. Early detection prevents problems from developing into infections.

🐾Keep nails neatly trimmed

Long nails can change how a dog’s foot hits the ground, causing discomfort and making the pads more prone to injury.

🐾Rinse after beach or park outings

Sand, salt, and grass seeds can irritate paws—quick rinses help keep everything clean and comfortable.

💛 A little routine paw care goes a long way!
Healthy paws mean safer walks, fewer discomforts, and a happier dog all summer long. If you’re unsure how to maintain your dog’s paw health, we’re here to help.

Summer Care for Double-Coated Dogs ☀️🐾

Did you know that double-coated breeds are designed to handle temperature changes? Their coat works like natural climate control — the soft undercoat insulates, while the guard coat protects the skin from heat and sunburn.

This is why de-shedding is better than shaving.

What we recommend:
✨ Regular brushing at home
✨ A professional de-shedding groom to remove loose undercoat
✨ A clean coat to allow airflow to the skin
✨ Keep your dog hydrated and avoid exercise in midday heat

If you’re not sure what your dog’s coat needs, you can book a free assessment and we will help you get your pup summer ready 😎
