I have just bought a paw balm for my dog and wondered if it were safe to use on my guineas. It is 'it's a dog's life, pawfessional pet care, Ph neutral, kind and gentle paw balm'. it says it has nourishing oils, beeswax and aloe vera. i wasn't sure if it would be okay or not. any advice would be great! thanks!

Hek of a lot of ingredeants there ! Wouldent like to guess at whether it would be safe for a pig

Personaly i dont see the need for a balm .
But if you do use it take in to consideration that a balm on the feet may atract bits stickng to you pigs feet
But if you do use it , it may be wise to perodicly cheq the pads for bits stuck to the pads

I want to invest in the gorgeous guineas paw balm but I thought in the meantime I could have used this. I'll leave it be for now just in case :)
 
It was A bit contavsial topic a few years ago , the forams were blits by people making mony off the backs of
Guinia pigs
i wouldent use any potions lotions or melts o n my piggys , they may claim to be good for your
Pig , but the people who sell these producs have a vested interst ,
 
Ah I see, i will take your advice and leave it be. Thank you ever so much! Plus you've saved me some money I can put towards a new toy instead!
