Salt, frost, icy pavements. The paw pad works all winter long \u2013 and the cold takes away exactly what keeps it supple.<\/p>\n
The pad is the thickest layer of horn on the whole animal \u2013 but horn only stays elastic as long as it contains moisture and fat. Winter removes precisely these two.<\/p>\n
Frozen ground and ice dry it out. Road salt and de-icing agents corrode the surface and open fine cracks. Dry, heated indoor air continues at home what the street began. The result is always the same: rough, hard, cracked pads that trap salt, dirt and granular snow. The animal limps, licks, chews \u2013 and the walk that was the highlight of the day becomes a burden.<\/p>\n
A good balm can do three things here: return lost moisture, replace washed-out lipids, and form a protective layer before the next walk. Pfoten-Elixier\u2122 does all three \u2013 and a fourth that conventional balms cannot.<\/p>\n
The classic paw balm is wax and oil. It sits on the surface and forms a film \u2013 it does not reach into the horn layer. In summer that is enough. In winter it is not.<\/p>\n
Pfoten-Elixier\u2122 is made with NanoLipoX\u2122 technology: the care ingredients are enclosed in phospholipid spheres smaller than 200 nanometres. Phospholipids are the same building material that skin cell membranes are made of \u2013 so the horn layer does not treat them as foreign, it lets them in. The active ingredient does not stay on the surface but works where the crack forms.<\/p>\n
That is why the cream is not a solid block of wax but a light, fast-absorbing emulsion. Minutes after massaging it in, it leaves no marks on the floor \u2013 and the protective film is still there.<\/p>\n
Most paw-care products on the shelf are scented: lavender, tea tree, something fresh. We deliberately added none of it \u2013 because of cats.<\/p>\n
A cat grooms itself. Whatever is on the pad ends up in the mouth sooner or later. Essential oils are a category of their own for cats: tea tree oil, citrus oils, eucalyptus, menthol, camphor \u2013 the feline liver cannot break them down. Dogs lick their paws too. A product made for both species can therefore only be one thing: fragrance-free.<\/p>\n
Not included:<\/strong> essential oils, perfume, fragrances, citrus oils, tea tree oil, eucalyptus, lavender, menthol, camphor, colourants, silicones, petrolatum, mineral oil, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, parabens, lanolin.<\/p>\n Before the walk:<\/strong> massage a thin layer into the pads and the skin between them. The balm absorbs quickly; the protective layer stays. After the walk:<\/strong> rinse off the salt with lukewarm water, dry the paws and apply again \u2013 this step matters more than the one before the walk. For cracked pads, 2\u20133 times a day until the surface is smooth again.<\/p>\n For dogs and cats. For cats, an application 2\u20133 times a week is worthwhile because of dry indoor heating. Also suitable for the nose and elbows.<\/p>\n 30 g in a glass jar with a black lid \u2013 the jar is refillable, glass and lid can be recycled separately.
