How to Use the Soothe Balm
Application is simple and stress-free. Start with clean, dry paws or affected areas. Use your finger to scoop a small amount—about the size of a pea for small spots or a dime for larger areas—and gently massage it into the skin. For paws, focus on the pads and between toes. For the nose, a light dab is enough. For elbows or dry spots, apply a generous layer and let it absorb for a few minutes. Most pets will not lick it off due to the pleasant, mild scent. Use as needed, especially after walks in harsh weather or during dry winter months.
For best results, apply consistently. Reapply after washing paws or if the area feels dry. The balm can be stored at room temperature; the tin is compact enough to carry on hikes or travel.
Why Choose a Lick-Safe Formula?
Pets naturally groom themselves, and many balms contain ingredients that are unsafe if ingested (like essential oils or zinc oxide). The smith&burton Soothe Balm is formulated with lick-safe components, so you don't have to stress about your pet licking their paws after treatment. This is especially important for nose balms, as dogs and cats frequently lick their noses. The balm's gentle formula allows it to stay on longer, maximizing its moisturizing benefits without worry.
Always supervise your pet after first use to ensure they tolerate the product well. While the ingredients are safe, individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use if you notice any redness or irritation, and consult your veterinarian.
