I make this protective paw salve for out dogs which is great especially in winter because it protects the paws from the very very low temperatures. However, …
I really like winter but it brings a few skin inconveniences. Unless you belong to the lucky few, you probably know what I’m talking about when I say words like “chapped”, “scaly” and “heels”.
