How to Nourish Your Pup’s Paws at Home

Your dog’s paws do a lot more than just look cute — they support every jump, sprint, and zoomie session. Those hardworking paws also take a beating! From hot pavement in the summer to icy sidewalks in the winter, or even a quick dip in the pool, your pup’s paws are constantly exposed to irritants and harsh conditions. Just like we need to moisturize our hands, our furry friends need some care for their paws, too.

Common Paw Problems in Dogs

Before diving into how to care for your dog’s paws, let’s talk about what can go wrong. Some of the most common paw issues include:

• Dry, cracked paw pads: Caused by extreme temperatures or walking on rough surfaces.

• Yeast or fungal infections: Often found between the toes where moisture builds up.

• Allergic reactions: Grass, pollen, or even cleaning products can irritate sensitive skin.

• Burns and blisters: Hot pavement and sand can scorch paw pads during the summer.

• Excessive licking: A sign of discomfort that can lead to further irritation or infection.

The good news? With the right at-home diy grooming routine, you can help your pup stay comfortable, healthy, and ready for every adventure.

Step 1: Clean Up with Squishface Wrinkle Wipes

After a fun outdoor walk or splash in the pool, your dog’s paws can trap dirt, bacteria, or chlorine between the toes. This leftover grime can lead to irritation, yeast growth, or that unmistakable “doggy odor.” That’s where Squishface Wrinkle Wipes come in!

These wipes are gentle yet powerful, designed specifically for sensitive skin. They help clean away debris and moisture without harsh chemicals or fragrances. The secret lies in their anti-bacterial and anti-fungal ingredients, which work to combat the bacteria, yeast, and fungus that love to hide in warm, damp areas — like between your pup’s toes.

Simply wipe your dog’s paws after each walk or swim, paying extra attention to the spaces between the toes. This quick step not only keeps paws clean but also creates the perfect foundation for the next stage of paw care: soothing and protection.

Step 2: Soothe and Protect with Squishface Toe Paste

Once your pup’s paws are squeaky clean, it’s time to give them the love they deserve with Squishface Toe Paste — a game changer for irritated or inflamed skin between the toes.

Formulated with natural, pet-safe ingredients like shea butter, sunflower seed oil, and rosemary leaf oil, this luxurious paste does double duty: it absorbs excess moisture while locking in hydration. That means it keeps the area dry enough to prevent yeast growth, yet moisturized enough to avoid cracking.

Let’s break down why it works so well:

• Kaolin clay and sodium bicarbonate pull out excess dampness, preventing that “clammy paw” feeling where bacteria thrive.

• Shea butter, oregano oil, and sunflower seed oil soothe irritated skin, reducing redness and inflammation.

• Rosemary leaf oil provides natural antibacterial protection and promotes healing.

• It’s lick-safe, so you don’t have to worry if your curious pup sneaks a taste.

• The fast-drying, non-staining formula keeps your floors clean while your dog’s paws heal.

To use, start by cleaning the area with a Squishface Wrinkle Wipe. Then, spread a generous layer of Toe Paste between the toes. For best results, cover the paw with a Squishface dog sock and wait until the paste absorbs in the skin. Repeat daily for 7–10 days or until the irritation clears.

A Happy Pup Starts with Healthy Dog Paws

Whether your dog is an adventure seeker, a backyard explorer, or a cozy couch cuddler, their paws deserve just as much care as the rest of their body. By regularly cleaning with Squishface Wrinkle Wipes and applying Squishface Toe Paste, you’re helping protect your doggo from common paw problems like dryness, yeast infections, and irritation.

Healthy paws mean more walks, more playtime, and more tail wags — all thanks to a little love and a few minutes of paw pampering each day.
