Soothe, heal and protect your pup's paws!
Smooth rough, dry paw pads. Eliminate excessive licking and itching from allergies. Relieve redness and inflammation. Heal cuts, cracks, and wounds. Paw Soother moisturises, soothes, and heals your pup's paws to keep them nourished and healthy.
Do you live in the city and your pup's paws have been worn down by constantly treading on the hard concrete? Or perhaps you live in the countryside and your poor dog has had to become accustomed to walking, running and playing on the rough, coarse earth?
Whether you are treating a blister, healing a cut, soothing an inflammation or providing some much needed nourishment to paw pads that have grown hardened and weary from the wear and tear of everyday life, the 100% natural Aureum Vitae Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Paw Balm is here to make sure that your pup's paws are as nourished and as healthy as ever.
Paws are an essential component of your dog’s overall well-being. If dry, rough, cracked, paws leave your canine companion suffering, it’s time to treat them to some Aureum Vitae Paw Balm.
The Paw Balm is an all-natural healing balm which is based on Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and crafted to soothe, treat, heal, and protect your pup’s paws. Do you find your dog incessantly licking their paws? Are you concerned with the peeling and cracking happening on the bottoms of their paws? Our Paw Balm is here to help with a plethora of pup-paw related conditions.
Paw Soother is ideal for treating, healing, & protecting against:
- Scars & wound
- Hyperkeratosis of the paw
- Paw allergy symptoms
- Extreme weather conditions
- Dry & irritated elbows
- And more!
Despite common misconceptions, dog paws are not meant to be dry and rough. Healthy paws should be hydrated, flexible, and spongy. This allows dogs to get a better grip while walking and running in addition to protecting them against injury.
Paw Soother keeps your pup ready for plenty of playtime!

Almond Oil - Rich in vItamin D and vitamin E (Tocopherol) and various minerals that help sooth the skin from irritation, protect from UV radiation damage and restore the skin's moisture barrier
Beeswax - Not only is it a humectant, meaning that it has the ability of attracting water, but it will also create a nourishing protective layer on to your pupper's skin
Shea Butter - It's high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids, combined with it's anti-inflammatory and healing properties, make it an ideal ingredient for soothing and nourishing your pupper's skin.
Cocoa Butter - It's high in fatty acids, which gives it the ability to hydrate, nourish and improve the skin's elasticity, while also forming a barrier over the skin that holds in the moisture.
Vitamin E - It's a wonderful antioxidant that nourishes and moisturizes the skin, while also protecting it from harmful free radicals such as pollution and UV lIght.
Calendula Oil - It hydrates the dry skin by locking in the moisture and, due to it's anti-septic and anti-inflammatory activity, it helps heal the skin from minor burns and injuries.
Distract, apply & reward!
With a distraction in tow (we love training treats or maybe their favorite toy) clean up any excess dirt or debris evident around the affected area. Use two fingers or a low-absorbent cloth to apply a small amount of The Paw Balm directly over your dog’s paw pads. Paws will be slick after application so allow the area to dry (a nice belly rub always does the trick!) and follow up with a treat or play time for a positive reward!
Repeat one to three times daily. Consistent and frequent application to open wounds is crucial to protect against infections & harmful bacteria. Decrease application as the area improves.
Pro-pup Tips:
- Applying before bedtime is an ideal time when your dog is at rest and the body goes into regeneration mode
- Many customers have used baby socks after applying Paw Soother to prevent licking and to create an ultra healing environment

Frequently Asked Questions
Paw Soother is ideal for the following: Dry, Chapped, Rough Paws. Peeling & Cracked Paws. Hyperkeratosis of the Paw. Paw Allergies. Dermatitis. Shiny Show Dog Paws. Extreme Weather Conditions
Aureum Vitae products are 100% natural, safe and edible. Our products will still work even if most of it is licked off. Though, for best results, we advise using distractions. Give your dog a raw bone to chew on, a yummy treat, dinner, or play with them for a few minutes until the carrier oils have had a chance to work it’s magic. We hear peanut butter works great!
The more often you are able to apply The Paw Balm to your dog's paws, the better. We recommend applying at least 2-3 times per day - especially before bedtime when bodies are healing and regenerating. Once your dog's paws are healthy, you can reduce the frequency of applications and still maintain soft, smooth, healthy paws.
Customer Reviews
Merlatta
Purchased this for greyhound who had developed a slight limp due to cracked pads during the winter. After each walk we washed his paws down and applied this balm. Within a week his pads had healed and his limp gone.
Tembora
This stuff is amazing!! Only got it two days ago and it’s already done wonders on my dogs pads! Before they were really cracked and dry and often ripping when on walks or even just in the garden. Just after using three times his pads already look less dry and cracked. Can’t believe I waited this long to use this product. I really wish I’d done before and after photos as it’s really unbelievable the difference it’s made already. Just try it and you’ll see how good it is!!

Love this balm for my dogs pads. He had a really nasty infection a while ago and when it healed part of his pads fused together. This caused them to rub together and become sharp and made him limp. I rub this on every night and it keeps the pads normal
Mellisa L.
Smells great! Excellent quality! Very silky and easy to rub into my fur-babies paws. The only difficult part is trying to stop them from licking it all off before I rub it in! They love the taste! Knowing that it's all organic though gives me complete peace of mind. Thank you for making such a great product, I'll definitely purchase from you again.
Ronny H.
This product seems to be perfect for my dog. It has a pleasant smell and a smooth texture. It doesn't have a greasy feel so that's nice. I have a big dog that has very big bads.
Jessy Paws
I have an older dog and her paws have gotten really beaten up over the years and were starting to become very sensitive. I started using this 2-3 times a week. You don't need a lot. A little goes a long way with this stuff. Her paws look much much better. She isn't licking them as much as she used to.
Alan Beck
My dog has alot of skin overgrowth on her pads, after just one use the tissue came right off. I will continue using twice a day until all dry spots are gone.
Kim K.
Our mini Schnauzer has dry paw pads. He frequently slips on the kitchen tile. We bought him socks that have non slip padding on them but he hates wearing them. The balm works well. We would apply whenver he comes in from the yard. No more slipping and sliding.
Genny
This salve is brilliant! It is the only thing that managed to put an end to the redness that one of my pup's had on his paw pads. Absolutely worth it! Plus it seems that this tin will lasts for ages. It also makes the paws super soft.
Bamboozling Bear
I love this product for my Bear's paws! He had some irritation between his toes so i used this product two times a day for a couple of days and it disappeared. Plus it makes the paws super soft.
Marianne Steward
I can honestly say that Paw Nectar is one of the best non veterinary products I’ve found for our Labrador! She skidded hard on gravel while chasing her ball and completely took the top off her pads on both feet. She couldn’t/wouldn’t walk as she was in so much pain. The paw nectar arrived after 2 days during which time there was no improvement. As soon as I did the first application you could tell it was soothing her and within 24 hours the healing process was apparent, definitely speeded up with this product. I’ve just used it again for a similar but less severe injury (most delicate lab I’ve ever had haha!) with the same results. Amazing product, would highly recommend for your first aid cupboard.
Theoklis
My dog was licking his paws until they were red and inflamed. He never liked his feet touched but after the first time he stopped fussing and let me put the balm on him. He liked it! And the balm really works. And it's comforting to know that if he eats the balm the ingredients are safe to eat.
Wibsie E. K.
This is amazing :)! After two days of using it my Cockapoos paws are healing. We’ve tried everything and he was just taking the skin of them and the pads kept cracking. They are nice and soft, he’s not in pain or chewing them
Jonathan
Amazing! My pup's paws keep getting really sore which makes him start biting and gnawing at them out of discomfort. I should have taken before and after pics, as after using this product for 2 days his paws look super healthy and they don't seem to itch him any longer.
Bully the bulldog
This is the only product that works for my bully. He has allegies so he licks his paws. He paws a bunch. Thanks to this product i am able to heal his paws in just a few days. It's absolutely worth the price.

Maple the Mini Dachshund
Maple's paws are tough like sandpaper. The Aureum Vitae paw balm started working over night! That subtle scent of lemongrass is amazing. My baby's pads feel amazing already!
Christie F
This stuff is awesome. Worth the price. I've tried other balms and this is by far the best. Max get's crusty pads from walking and this stuff fixes hi right up. It's soft and creamy and cery easy to get out of the tin. It also smells wonderful. Will be buying more in the future 100%
Bianca D.
This just felt like such a treat. My dogs loved me putting it on their little paws. Excellent product.
S. Tomms
Smells great! But i seem to like it more than my bulldog who runs away whenver the tin makes an appearance. But i'm winning her over gradually because she realizes how amazing it feels.
Suzanna
Die Pfoten waren schon nach den ersten Anwendungen spürbar weicher.
Mr. Bennington
This balm is worth every penny. Mr Benny had some upsetting lumps between his toes and, after a bit of research, this balm was recommended. I used it on his paws for 3 weeks and now they are back to normal. It's a must try!
Agioska
I noticed both of my chihuahuas had dryness to their paws, which I think is from them running around outside on the cement on hot days (they have an entire yard to play in, but always seem to make their way to the one slab of cement in the yard). My one dog has sensitive skin, so I try to use as many natural and organic products as possible. I loved the way this smelled and also how easily it applies to the paws. I highly recommend!
Kitty Bitty
My dog likes this a bit too much, when I get it out she’s straight to the tin trying to lick it lol
Bonny the Wee Westie
Living in the countryside means that our little Bonnie is always out and about in the fields. We never really thought of caring for her paw pads to be honest. But after feeling how hardened they were we thought that it's best if we tried to soothe her little beans. We were already in love with the Aureum Vitae shampoo bar so thought of giving the balm a go. Must say...we are amazed with how soft and lovely it has made our pup's paws. And we've only used a couple of times. Perfect product.
Kerry B,
Chi Chi has the tiniest of toe beans and we were gifted this lovely balm to soften her paws. Walking on hard pavements all her life has made her paws quite rough and this balm definitely helped!
Mr. Rukus
Our little Akita has been suffering from hardened paws and we have been searching for a natural solution as we don't like chemicals. The Aureum Vitae paw balm is all natural and it leaves his paws super super soft. Also the lemongrass scent is delicious.
Susan Hopkins
I love it! We just got ours and it was so easy to pop the tin open and pat on the pups paws. They didn't mind the application one bit and they definitely loved the new sniff and lick game they played for 10 minutes after applying. They didn't realize it was on their feet, but kept licking the floor where they would step. Once it kind of dried it helped them stop sliding on the concrete floors.
Carmen
All of those long city walks with my girl have really made her paws so rough and dry that the doctor recommended we try a balm to help soothe her and make her walks more comfortable. A dog park friend recommended Aureum Vitae and the results have been amazing. From the first time i rubbed it into her paws they became so soft and smooth. It's wonderful. And it smells amazing. Great product.

This is good for my dogs back paw ,as she drags it. Irub some on her paw before putting a dog boot on her and it is working well
Jen H.
My working shepherd mistook this for a treato and almost licked the balm from it's tin. It does actually smell really good. I love the smell of lemongrass. It did a wonderful job soothing his paws. Funny thing was that he slid a little bit on the marble. Must be because the balm is slightly oily. But apart from that it is deeply moisturising and really helped soften his paw pads.

Oliver Emmanouill
This paw balm completely convinced me! My Labrador had very rough and partly already cracked bales but by massaging in daily the bales are already very soft within a week and no longer cracked! In addition, the fragrance and consistency are very pleasant.
Eddie
After two trips to the Vets and beaky £60 lighter, tried this product and saw instant results the next day. Cassie even lifts her paws now for the massage- so both of us are impressed & love it
Hippo J
Ich habe dieses Balsam seit 3 Tagen und dieses Abends nach der letzten Gassirunde angewendet... Bin damit sehr zufrieden, da die Pfoten meiner Bulldogge sehr beansprucht sind bzw er oft Probleme mit seinen Pfoten hat.... Die Stempel sind jetzt weicher und auch seine verhornten Stellen sind besser geworden... Ich kann dieses Produkt auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen...
Suzzana
Not the cheapest on the market but, it heals, restores and softens the paws just as it claims to do, definitely recommend the product excellent results.
Jenny
Smells amazing and leaves my pup's paws silky smooth! Win Win!

la verdad que muy bien, a mi perro le ha venido estupendo y se ha curado sus almoadillas
Anita
We took our pup to Greece with us and because of all the zoomies on the sand i applied the balm each night after she had the salt water bathed off of her. It helped so much keeping her paws nice and nourished.
A lil Westie
Made my little westie's paws so nice and soft. It's a must try.
Tim
We love how all Aureum Vitae products smell citrusy! We have been applying this balm to Derek's paws quite a bit these days as we have never used a paw balm before and his poor paws are so rough and hard. It's amazing how soft they are now and we haven't even been using it for a week. Love this product!
John F.
Amazing
Bonnie
This is a miracle. We had to try everything to stop our Maltipoo to stop chewing his paws. I received this yesterday and immediately started his treatment. I've applied it to his paws for a total of 3 times now and not once hjave i seen him chewing on his paws. Check out the ingredients, everything is natural.
Elisa Franceski
Very quick to arrive. Our dog is okay with us putting this on her paw pads.
Many Schmidt
Yes it’s expensive but after my dog cut his paws on broken glass resulting in a visit to the vets I was recommended to get this product to help with the healing process, 2 days later and wow they’ve virtually healed and he’s able to walk around again. Definitely recommend for sore and injured pads it’s like a miracle balm.
Tommy B.
Amazing results in a matter of a few days. Creamy texture, dog was very content to have this massaged into pads. Redness greatly reduced, cracking stopped and is healing.
Cecily
Easy to apply to my dogs paws. Works great, I noticed a difference in her paws already
Olga
I've been using this once or twice a day for a few weeks and her paws are definitely softer. It's creamy consistency makes it very easy to apply.
Tommy and her little sis
Purchased in order to help nourish and soothe the inflammation on my German shepherd's paws. It works. Wish i was more consistent as the red spots slowly disappeared after only using it for a couple of days. With consistent use i am confident that the inflammation will continue to shrink in size.
puplover
I apply this at nighttime, just because my dog likes to lick his paws, and it makes the pads of his feet so soft! I would definitely recommend this product!
Molly
My shepherd has horrible seasonal allergies and this olive oil balm is amazing. We rub it all over his paws and in between his toes and it makes a tremendous impact. They are typically red and itchy leading him to chew on the non stop. This stuff really helps!

Seems to work on my dogs feet & not chewing anymore

Works great and my pup smells amazing.

Works great and my pup smells amazing.
Kiki
My dog damaged his paw pads on rough ground and was in a lot of pain. This stuff seems expensive compared to ones on the high street but reviews were good. I had googled how long his paws would take to mend and it said first layer of skin within a week and 21 days for full recovery. Within a day of using this he could stand and do a few steps, in 2 days he could go for short walks and after a week he was fully recovered. Could not be more pleased
Catherine R.
Just amazing
Natalia
My puppy gets this put on her paws during the winter as it helps keep her in tip top condition. My puppy does however love to lick her paws when this is on so it must be tasty so sometimes you have to re-apply.
Emmanouela K.
My dog seems to be adversely effected by the cold, dry weather. She is itchy and her paws are dry. This leads to paw licking and chewing. This balm does the trick. The scent is so subtle that the human nose can nearly detect it. The lavender is calming and the moisturizing is superior.
Jayne Todd
I bought Paw Nectar after reading many great reviews and it does not disappoint. My golden's pads are very rough and after a few days they are starting to heal. The results are coming slowly but they are absolutely there. The scent is nice but not overwhelming and I was very happy that she does not lick at her paws after I put it on.
Maven Creek
Absolutely love this product. I decided to use it on myself instead of our dogs. I garden barefoot and my heels are cracked and rough. After 1 week of using this my heels are completely restored and not cracked at all! So impressed!!
Maria
Very creamy and moisturizing. I don’t even mind not washing my hands for a while after applying to the dog because it is such a nice formula.
Cobblers
It definitely smoothed my puppy’s paw. I tried it on my thumb finger on foot since it dried and the skin peeled. Skin lotion and hand cream did not work well but this paw cream relieved my chapped skin!
Carol
We love the balm and the scent and our French bulldog really enjoys applying paw cream and how velvety soft it makes them feel
Lauren Ashley
Sehr gut.
Ann Luke
My dachshund has dry, hairless ears that are starting to chap. I used coconut oil but then I tried the paw nectar. Now her ears are very soft. The peeling at the bottom stopped. At first she did not want me to touch her ears but after two applications, she welcomes the massage. I think her ears feel better because she no longer tries to resist. I also put it on her paws as well. This doubles as a lip balm. I bet you can find the same ingredients in lip balm and potentially cheaper.
Claire
Been using it and you can feel the difference on our dog paws. Works as promised.
Tina Simms
Wow! My Springer Spaniel loves to run through the woods and basically chase anything. I noticed him holding up one of his paws one day and noticed his pads were cut in several places. I found this "nectar" for paws and thought I would try it as it was organic. Well after applying it every night for 5 days the pads began to heal and he is no longer a three legged dog.
Foussard
Wir haben das für unseren Hund gekauft, es lässt sich leicht auftragen, hat einen angenehmen Duft und funktioniert Ausgezeichnet.
Lorraine Brown
I have an oversized Dobermann (60 kilograms) lately every 2 weeks or so a skid is often opened on the back fingertip and he licks at the most I can't make healing difficult, today I have put the first dose of this product and I will update if I have problems but for now the pads are already much more hydrated and they were quite cracked, sometimes it takes
Dennys E. Potter
After one application I could feel a difference to paws and nose
Koko
After one use my cats paws looked much better. Great product
Javier
My dog does not mind if I apply the cream, even after second time she lies on floor and put her paws up for me. There was a difference after first application. He r paws are so soft no more snagging the furniture or my clothing . Only problem is she loves to lick it off the floor. The smell is nice as well, very citrusy. My 45 yr old daughter started using it as well on her callused hands .
Jamie W Tohey
Really good value
Artie Lance
Worked wonders for my dogs paws
Jackson D. Alisson
My puppies paws were sore and dry from all the snow. This product was great for softening them up .
Doris
Absolutely love this product! My Roxy girl has had rough paws ever since I got her and we always take her on walks so I was looking for a product to help her paws. This is definitely a great product for paws! I recommend chipping off a piece of the wax and taking that piece and rubbing it on their paws. I find it difficult to just take her paw and rub it in the wax. But it has definitely kept her paws moisturized, especially during this cold weather we have been having in Virginia.
Ellie
Beautifully gentle product - has healed up our pups raw paws within 2 days.
Chris Chouck
Hit this for my dogs pads which had some cracks, has cleared up. Does the job
Megan Brewer
This stuff is great! I felt like a terrible dog dad after taking my pooch on too long of a hike. This stuff remedies her problems in about 1 day. It’s such good stuff I even put it on my own feet once. Love this. Wish it were sold in bulk!
Bob's mum
Bob's paws have never felt softer after using this natural balm. I've experimented with a few other balms for his paws and this one is nicely creamy and it's also a tad bit oily which helps moisturise Bob's paws so nicely.
Sarah the Cutie
Smells divine and it soothed our pups rough hardened paws. It's a must try!
Wayne Trueman
Worked wonders and my dogs pads that were getting badly cracked from constantly running and walking with me. He is now a much happier pup!
J. Verena
Producto recomendable que hace su función!
Maria Rorry
Suzzie's paws get cracked quite often and we've tried quite a few a balms to help soothe her skin. We bought this one recently and have been using it everyday for the past week and we've seen amazing results.
Leslie Boon
I wish I had taken before and after pictures! My dog had recently ripped one of her pads. After it healed, I decided to add this product to all of her paws to prevent any future damage. I was SHOCKED when I noticed a difference in the softness of her paws after 2 hours (and 1 treatment)!! I'm so thrilled and will definitely purchase again when I run out.
Candance K.
My cocker spaniel has always had a dry flakey nose . The vets have never been able treat it . However...after a week of applying this to his nose the sore and dryness that sometimes used to crack the skin on his nose has gone ! Brilliant stuff .
Konstantinos Bakioukos
This stuff smells amazing and our dog loves it! We've been having problems finding a paw lotion that he cannot lick off however this one stays on! Our pup loves foot massages so when we rub this paw nectar in he just falls back relaxing and then sniffs his paws for hours. Even when he tries to lick them or goes running through the yard it stays on for days! So excited for this new find! Just make sure to tell guests what it is because a family friend opened it and put some on their hands!
Savannah
Our rescue dog must have spent alot of time outdoors as his paws were very rough and coarse. If used every day it definitely achieves the purpose of softening the paw pads. Lemongrass scent is amazing. Will be buying more when we run out.
Alexandra
My dog had a sore paw so thought I would give it a try , healed it perfectly , had the consistency of vaseline , smells like vanilla , it may seem pricey but it does last a long time you only need a littke bit and it melts easily when applied. Would highly recommend for doggies for all.seasons !
Archie K. Williams
Definitely good for the paws and dog loves getting it put on, bit expensive and wife says we can make it with the current ingredients, but overall great so far.
Sable the Sweetie
My dog will refuse to let anyone touch her paws. She is super protective of them and she will clean them on her own. She will even refuse to go out when it's raining as she doesn't want to make them wet. With that being said, she loves this balm. She will literally lay on her back and extend her legs for my girl to apply this balm on her paws. Very moisturizing. Great product.

Used on my Doberman’s cracked pads, over five days made a difference and by I used the full tin all cracks healed. Would use again.

色々使いましたがこれが良いです。塗った後、直ぐにペロペロ舐めるので、一工夫‼️100均の椅子の足に履かせる靴下買ってきて、塗った後履かせます。注意は、滑り止めが無いのでフローリングなどは滑り止めしてる家庭で無ければ犬が脱臼する可能性があるので注意してね。1時間ほど履かせて終わりを何度かすると良い感じです。
Shaun
My dog's paws have felt cracked and dry. I think they have been bothering her because I have noticed her going at them - and she is a white dog so she gets saliva stains if she licks her paws too much. This product immediately made her paws feel smooth and soft. Also, she does not like her paws touched. She doesn't like them brushed or held in any manner. But when I go to reapply this product she reaches out and accepts my handling of her paws. She knows. This product works well and I'm going to order some more.
