Your dog’s paws and nose can become dry and cracked when exposed to the elements. Apply this wax salve to the bottom of your dog’s paw pads or on her nose to soothe the dryness. The oils will be absorbed into the pad to create a layer of protection.

2 tbsp. natural beeswax (can purchase from craft store)
2 tbsp. olive or coconut oil
5 drops vitamin E (for extra protection)
Melt the beeswax in a double boiler on the stove or, if using a microwave, in a shallow pan atop a water bath. Add oil when fully melted.

Stir. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
