How to care for your dog’s paw pads?
The reference in dog sports
This repair balm is the reference for paw pad care in dog sports: sledding, canicross, agility, hunting… Valérie, a musher, uses it on her dogs before and after every race. With Réhydratation and the massage gel, it makes up our Cure chien sportif.
A barrier for the paws
Applied before a walk or training, the balm forms a protective film on the pads and between the toes: against snow and de-icing salt, hot tarmac, stones and hard ground. Ideal for dogs that run, hike or live in town.
Soft, moisturised pads
Dried-out pads become rough, crack and turn sensitive. The balm moisturises and softens them, with calendula and zinc oxide. Its texture absorbs quickly without leaving the paw greasy: your dog can set off again straight away.
A short, plant-based formula
Calendula, zinc oxide, thyme and three low-concentration essential oils (niaouli, cajeput, tea tree), in a nourishing base. A pleasant smell, a texture that stays soft even in freezing cold. Made in France, for dogs, in 50, 125 and 250 ml tubs.
Moisturises, softens and protects dog paw pads
Your dog’s paw pads are put to the test: snow and salt in winter, scorching tarmac in summer, stones, rough ground, long hikes. The ELEMENT VET repair balm moisturises, softens and protects them, before going out as after exercise.
Who is it for, and when
- sporting dogs: sledding, canicross, agility, hunting, hiking;
- city dogs walking on tarmac and de-icing salt;
- dogs with dry, rough, cracked or sensitive pads;
- before going out, to protect; afterwards, to moisturise.
Composition: zinc oxide, boric acid, calendula extract, thyme, essential oils of niaouli (Melaleuca quinquenervia), cajeput (Melaleuca cajuputi) and tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia). For external use. Made in France.
Sizes: 50 ml, handy to carry; 125 ml; 250 ml for packs and clubs.
The repair balm is also part of the Cure chien sportif.
How to use
Clean and dry the pads. Apply a small amount of balm to the pads and between the toes, and massage until absorbed.
Before going out on snow, salt or rough ground: apply it 10 to 15 minutes beforehand. After every long outing, especially in winter, apply it again.
Repeat once or several times a day as needed. For external use; stop using it if the skin reacts.
Precautions for use
- For dogs only: not suitable for cats (essential oils, including tea tree).
- Stop your dog licking its paws right after application: a boot, while the balm absorbs, can help.
- Do not apply near the eyes.
- For a puppy under 6 months or a pregnant or nursing bitch, ask your vet.

Pro tip
On paw pads, I use this balm for protection when the ground is rough (earth, snow), and to look after them when they are damaged. I protect the paw with a boot while the balm soaks in, then leave it in the open air. The texture and smell are very pleasant, and the balm keeps well despite winter temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I protect my dog’s pads from snow, salt and tarmac?
Apply the balm 10 to 15 minutes before going out, on the pads and between the toes: it forms a protective film. When you get back, rinse and dry the paws, then apply it again. For long outings or very rough ground, a boot adds protection.
