❄️ Winter is here! ❄️
The cold weather and snowy sidewalks might look magical, but they can be really tough on our dogs’ paws. Between icy surfaces, sidewalk salt, and dry winter air, pups can end up with cracked pads that can bleed and become super painful. Just like us, dogs can get dry, irritated skin this time of year — itchy skin, flaky noses, and rough paws included.
One simple thing that helps both humans and pets? Indoor humidity!
Running a humidifier can make a world of difference by keeping moisture in the air, helping prevent cracked noses, chapped lips, itchy skin, and rough paws.
I’ve been loving the doTERRA Dawn Aroma Essential Oil Humidifier — it’s gentle, effective, and can be used safely as long as pet-friendly practices are followed (diffuse lightly, in open spaces, and give pets the choice to leave the room). 🌿💧
And… good news!
This year, I’m making my own all-natural paw wax with just a few simple, safe ingredients. I’ll have them available this weekend at the Holiday Pop up on Friday Dec 12 at Zen Loft Collective in Batavia, but if you’re a DIY person, I’m happy to share the recipe too!
👉 Comment “RECIPE” below and I’ll send it your way!
Stay warm, stay safe, and give those paws a little extra love this season. 🐾💛
