Healthy Breeds Shih Tzu Dog Elbow Balm 57g

The Benefits of Using a Natural Elbow Balm

Active dogs like the Shih Tzu often develop rough, dry calluses on their elbows from lying on hard surfaces. These calluses can become cracked and uncomfortable, potentially leading to irritation. Our Healthy Breeds Shih Tzu Dog Elbow Balm is specially formulated to deliver deep hydration and conditioning, helping to keep your dog's elbows soft, smooth, and comfortable. Made with 100% organic and all-natural ingredients, this balm offers a gentle yet effective solution for dry, rough patches. With no active drugs, it is safe if your dog licks the area. Regular uses may support skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of calluses, improving your pet's overall comfort.

How to Apply Healthy Breeds Balm

For best results, apply a small amount to clean, dry elbows once or twice daily, especially after walks or play. Gently massage the balm into the callused area until fully absorbed. It can also be used on other rough spots like hocks or paws. Consistent application helps prevent cracking and splitting, keeping the skin flexible. Monitor your dog initially to ensure they don't excessively lick the area; while the balm is safe to ingest, allowing it to absorb optimises benefits. For stubborn calluses, consider using soft bedding to reduce pressure on elbows. Consult your vet if you notice signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or discharge.
