Making Paw Balm | Protection For Your Pets

I'm back at it again making another great DIY tutorial. I'm making paw balm which is great protection for your pets. It helps to keep their pads nice and moisturized which prevents them from becoming dry and crack which can cause discomfort and pain. This paw balm is all natural and not harmful if your pet decides to lick their paws. It is also unscented, but if you wish essential oils can be used, just be sure that it is pet safe and use in limited amounts, 1 to 2 drops per 125 ml. Homemade is always better for you and your family and that also applies to your 4 leg family members, so give it a try.

I completely agree. I would not use essential oils on pets. Also regarding castor oil. Completely safe on pets according to holistic vets. I use it in their ears for mites instead of chemicals. And jojoba. Again completely safe. Love your videos!

I looked up Jojoba oil and castor oil and both can cause damage if a pet ingests them. My dogs lick their noses and paws. Thx for a starting point. I'm going to create my own.

[@krystaldahl4942]

Jojoba is totally fine for pets and the small amount of Castor isn't going to harm them, but hey to each their own, Great video Mayfly :)

Does this get moldy? How long does the product last?

[@mhmd99900]

i can use any type of beeswax or there is a specific type like for skin .? , because they use it for candles

[@kristelle1832]

Hi! What’s the shelf life?

[@fluffyx7444]

Does it make a difference if I use virgin coconut oil?

[@mayflylife]

Oh gosh no. By all means use virgin coconut oil.

[@yvonneescobar7997]

Is beeswax mandatory to use or can i substitute it for another ingredient?

[@mayflylife]

In this particular recipe yes beeswax is necessary. If you are looking for a vegan alternative recipes vary. Some use combination of sumac, sunflower and rice bran waxed along with pine resins and other oils. I currently don’t have a vegan recipe.
