Natural Dog Co.'s Pawtection is a plant-based paw balm designed to protect and nourish dogs' paw pads against the everyday wear of outdoor life. It earns its place on the Dog Dish shelves by offering a thoughtfully formulated, all-natural alternative to synthetic balms that rely on artificial ingredients.

The formula centers on organic mango butter for deep moisturization, rounded out by essential oils of rosemary and lavender to help soothe and balance the skin. Every ingredient is selected for its natural properties, resulting in a gentle yet effective balm that's suitable for regular use on sensitive pads.

Pawtection is an especially strong fit for active dogs—trail hikers, city walkers, and any pup regularly exposed to hot pavement, cold surfaces, or road salt. It's available in three sizes: a 1oz tin, a 2oz stick, and a compact .15oz travel stick designed to slip easily into a pocket or pack.
