We could say that Our furry friends' pads are their custom-made shoes, But be careful not to think that's why they don't need extra care. That's why we're sharing all the tips for keeping them in tip-top shape.
Indeed, the pads Dog and cat shoes are the equivalent of designer shoes, and besides being adorable, in the case of dogs They perform a series of very specific functions and important for their health: they regulate their body temperature, have sweat glands that are responsible for expelling toxins, since they don't have these glands all over their bodies like humans do. They are also fat deposits responsible for maintaining their elasticity and moisture levels.
Despite being designed to resist, They are very delicate and deteriorate easily in the face of extreme weather conditions: very hot or very cold, stony terrain, very hot sand… etc. Conditions to which they are very easily exposed both on getaways and on their daily walks.
In the case of cats, there are some points in common, since they also contain sweat glands and serve as protection against different terrains, but they also help them walk stealthily and on difficult terrain (because they are non-slip and shock-absorbing) and secrete pheromones in specific areas where others of their species can identify them.
Sometimes, toe and paw pads can become dry and cracked, especially if you live in a warm climate with low humidity or in a very cold climate. In these cases, it's a good idea to talk to your veterinarian about the cause of the dryness and/or cracking, so they can recommend the best way to treat your cat. Be very careful when using products like Vaseline and other common moisturizers, which can be harmful to cats.
Despite their differences, there are a number of general care tips for dogs and cats to ensure their paws are in perfect condition all year round:
🌿 Make sure to clean them with mild soap and water to check them often and avoid more serious conditions.
🌱 Avoid letting too much hair grow between your furry friend's toes, as this can cause knots and be a nuisance when walking.
🌿 Keep your nails short enough to prevent them from getting hurt when walking or digging into your skin.
🌱 If you notice that they are too rough or have the beginnings of cracks, don't forget to moisturize them, especially before going outside in the case of dogs.
🌿 Be very careful when using chemical cleaning products in your home and always keep it free of sharp objects.
