Dog Paw Balm: When It Helps and When It Won't
Paw balm is a barrier and a moisturiser, not a treatment. A symptom-by-symptom table for when a tin fixes it and when the paw needs a vet.
We read the reviews, dig through the specs, and score every product on a transparent 0–100 scale — so you can skip the guesswork.
The everyday gear your dog actually needs, scored and ranked.
The buy-once gear owners say they should have bought sooner — scored the same way as everything else.
