How to Moisturize Dog Paws + DIY Recipe | PawLeaks
Unlike us, our dogs don’t (usually) wear any kind of boots or shoes on their feet. Unless they are lying down, those paw pads are in contact 24 hours a day. Dogs can easily suffer from things like blistered, torn, burnt or otherwise injured paw pads. Unless we either provide dog boots or dog paw moisturizer, there is very little protecting those furry feet. You can either choose one of the dog paw moisturizers mentioned below or you can make your own using my DIY dog paw moisturizer recipe. #dogs #dogcare #paws

How to Groom a Double-Coated Dog at Home | PawLeaks
Owning a double-coated dog comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to grooming. The undercoat, responsible for providing insulation, sheds throughout the year, with an increased shedding period during seasonal changes. Proper grooming is crucial to managing this shedding process, preventing mats, and ensuring your dog’s coat remains healthy and lustrous. With the right tools, techniques, and a bit of patience, you can easily groom your dog at home even as a beginner.
