Musher’s Secret is a 100% natural, food grade wax that forms a breathable barrier for your animals’ paws. Originally developed in Canada for use with sledding dogs, Musher’s was first perceived as a cold weather solution. It is now used for year round protection in many different environments. Safe and Natural Made from a blend of several food-grade, organic waxes, then refined according to our own special formulations, Musher’s Secret is the safe, non-toxic and non-allergenic way to protect your dog’s paws and is 100% edible. The semi-permeable shield is absorbed into the paws, allowing perspiration to escape through the toes. Easy to Apply For year round use apply a thin layer 2-3 times a week and rub it in. It will absorb in a few moments, once Musher’s has absorbed it will not come off on floors, carpeting or clothing. Pet owners having this issue are applying too much. In snowy conditions additional applications may be necessary. To prevent snowballing rub up in between and around the pads. *Because Musher’s is a stable wax, shelf life is indefinite.
