Our Yorkshire Terrier Louie is almost two years old and still dashes through the house like a puppy. While he's light and small, joint care is essential—especially to prevent luxating patella. Our entire home has marble floors, and even the wood floors in the rooms are slippery. After Louie once twisted his leg while playing, we added mats to his room, but we can’t cover every space. That's why I started looking for a portable, non-slip alternative and found Pet au Maman's Paw Balm. Here’s our honest review.
1. Why Slippery Floors Are a Problem
Slippery surfaces can cause repetitive stress on a dog’s joints, leading to serious issues like luxating patella. When dogs slip while jumping or turning, their knee joints take the brunt. Reducing slips helps them move more safely. Mats can help, but for homes or places where mats aren't possible, a paw balm can be a practical solution.2. What Is Pet au Maman Paw Balm?
This balm is compact and easy to carry when you're out. A single container lasts over 3 months. But it does more than prevent slipping:Polyisobutene gives grip by forming a tacky layer on paw pads.
Rice flower & centella asiatica extracts soothe irritation.
7 types of hyaluronic acid provide deep moisture.
EWG green-level ingredients make it safe for sensitive dogs—even if licked in small amounts.
Tip: Only apply to paw pads. Wipe the cap after each use to keep it clean.
3. Who Should Use It?
This balm is helpful for all dogs, but especially for:High-energy dogs who run and jump indoors often
Dogs with rough, dry paw pads needing hydration
Senior or small-breed dogs prone to joint issues
Sensitive dogs who need clean, non-irritating formulas
Just a small amount massaged into the pads each day can help protect joints and improve stability on floors.
Pro Tip: Use treats to distract your dog if they dislike paw massages.
4. How Louie Reacted
We first used this balm when visiting the vet for a patella check-up. Louie didn’t resist at all! The scent was gentle, and his paws stayed moisturized but not sticky. We also use it when visiting pet-friendly malls with smooth floors. Instead of bulky shoes or mats, we carry this balm in our walk bag.
Reflections
Paw balm may seem small, but it's an everyday habit that can make a huge difference in your dog’s joint health. For Louie, it’s now part of our routine—especially on days when we go out. It’s travel-friendly, safe, and gives me peace of mind.
I hope your dog stays happy, healthy, and slip-free, wherever your adventures take you.
