Perfectly protected dog paws (even on ice and snow)

Perfekt geschützte Hundepfoten (auch bei Eis und Schnee)

The cold season comes and with it often wetness, ice and snow. Of course, it's still time to go for a walk every day. After all, your dog needs exercise and exercise.


However, many dog owners know the problem that the paws of their fur nose are exposed to special stresses in winter.


This article explains what you should look out for during walks through ice and snow and how to protect your dog's paws properly in winter.

Pay attention to the behavior of the animal

To a certain degree most quadrupeds tolerate the cold very well. Nevertheless, you should watch your dog closely, especially at very low temperatures.

You will notice if he does not feel well. Possible signs are, for example, obvious reluctance to start, or a gait in which he walks on only three legs to protect at least one paw from the cold.


In this case it can be useful to shorten the walk and to postpone longer laps to the warm season.


Another possibility is the use of special dog shoes. These protect the paws from the cold and at the same time prevent excessive strain from road salt and split.


If you choose paw shoes, it is important that they fit well. Otherwise the paws of your fur nose are protected from the stresses of winter, but will be rubbed sore by the shoes instead.

The right care is crucial

If you decide against paw shoes, it is important that you wash your dog's paws after each walk. You do not need soap for this. A little lukewarm water is enough to reliably remove lumps of ice, chippings and road salt.


In this way the paws are spared. In addition, you can prevent your dog from licking and swallowing the remains of road salt.


In addition, it makes sense to shorten the paws a little, at least for breeds with long fur. In this way you can prevent lumps of ice or split and road salt from getting stuck in the hair. If you do not dare to prune the coat yourself, it is best to ask a veterinarian for help. Alternatively, you can go to a dog hairdresser for this purpose.

Do not forget to apply cream

Apart from cutting the coat and regular cleaning, we recommend that you take care of your paws with the right ointment or cream in winter. This moisturises and nourishes the stressed skin.


In this way it remains healthy and resistant. Small cracks and injuries can be avoided or at least healed quickly.


But be careful when using skin care products for your dog. Only use suitable products. A human lotion is usually unsuitable for your dog's skin and causes more damage than it does.

Natural paw protection from Bellfor

We recommend that you only use natural care products such as Bellfor paw protection. This guarantees a good tolerance as well as an effective and gentle care.


Bellfor paw protection is characterised by a special combination of natural ingredients such as insect fat, beeswax and coconut fat. This ensures particularly high effectiveness without the use of chemical agents.


The lauric acid contained in insect fat, for example, has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, while beeswax improves the moisture retention of the skin and supports regeneration.


The coconut oil contained in the beeswax is effective against cracks and dry skin. Other ingredients such as shea butter, cocoa butter and calendula round off the unique active ingredient complex of Bellfor Paw Protection.


In this way, the ointment has an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, protective and caring effect.


Bellfor paw protection is therefore perfectly suited for paw care in winter and helps your coat nose to enjoy walking even during the cold season.
