How to Use It, Why It Helps, and What’s Inside
Ferrets may be soft, but their paws take a beating — from dry air, rough flooring, litter, and overgrooming. Our Paw Balm is specially formulated to protect and moisturize little ferret feet without harmful ingredients.

🧴 How to Use Paw Balm
Using it is quick and easy:
- Gently rub a small amount of balm onto your ferret’s paw pads
- Focus on dry, cracked, or rough areas
- Use 1–3 times per week, or more during winter/dry seasons
- Allow it to absorb — no need to wipe or rinse
- Safe if licked (because we know they will)
💡 Tip: Apply right before cuddle time or naps to let it soak in
🌿 Why Use Paw Balm?
Ferret paws are sensitive — they weren’t made for laminate floors or dusty litter. Our balm:
- Moisturizes and protects paw pads
- Helps soothe dry or rough feet
- Supports skin barrier function during shedding season
- Keeps paws soft for better traction and comfort
💡 What Makes Our Paw Balm Special
We worked with our in-house chemist to create a balm that’s:
- 100% lick-safe
- Free from artificial fragrances, parabens, and essential oils
- Long-lasting and fast-absorbing
- Made with ferret-safe, vet-reviewed ingredients
