Why is it important to wash your dog's paws?

Washing paws is a must after each walk with your pet. You need to wash paws even if they look clean.

How to properly wash a dog's paws

You won't be able to wash your pet's paws with just water.

Regular tap water only helps remove dirt, but does not clean paws thoroughly. For these purposes, it is best to use special products from a veterinary pharmacy.

In some cases, tar-based soap can be used.

It is important to dry your dog's paws thoroughly after washing. To remove most of the moisture, use a towel that can absorb water well.
