It's a balm (not your normal paw wax) that absorbs into the pad. It's help protect the pad and condition it. Other paw wax sits on top of the pad in a waxy layer....and gets all over your car after a hike....it's no bueno. I love Musher's Secret though.

All that stuff just piles up and piles up and gets overwhelming.<br /><br />Steve wears skid boots on his front feet and I have to wrap his hind feet in vet wrap to keep them relatively intact at tournaments. We went one summer (last year maybe?) where he was burning footpads on all his feet just playing ball in the grass. It was maddening. I started using his old skid boots to protect his stop pads during frisbee and ball play. I also started using Tuf-foot on him, and that did seem to make a difference. We just have trouble at flyball now, not in Real Life. Thank goodness.<br /><br />I hope whatever is going on with Pallo straightens out soon. It's stressful having a dog that's Just Not Right.Katiehttp://underdogged.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-42093648003681969082012-08-23T02:24:48.196-07:002012-08-23T02:24:48.196-07:00Man you have a lot on your plate.

When I went for my back, they would do electrical stimulation on the muscles (TENS I think) and put the wonderful moist heat packs on at the same time. So first excercise to increase the muscle strenght and then the heat and TENS. It made a big difference. I hope things get better soon.<br />Also someone told me to sprinkle Knox plain gelitin on Miley's food to increase pad strenght.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378710392378543981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-85646611104301611972012-08-21T21:07:38.773-07:002012-08-21T21:07:38.773-07:00Eek, that's no good :(

I guess the people around us are far more resilient, physically and emotionally, than everybody else?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-70984625301467019242012-08-21T12:21:31.877-07:002012-08-21T12:21:31.877-07:00This makes me so sad!

What an awful summer for you. <br /><br />I was in a car accident in June and ended up super-spraining the muscles along my neck/spine/shoulder area. I had to go in for trigger-point massage therapy several times before it completely disappeared. The guy who rear-ended me had to pay... I'm not sure if that applies to you at all considering yours is a work-related injury. But you might consider it, maybe?<br /><br />And your dogs! D: How weird that he is spunky sometimes and not other times. I wouldn't take him to the vet again, if I were you. You know him better than anyone, trust in that. <br /><br />I'm planning to try out Musher's Secret in Elli's upcoming coursing tests. She really only had minor burns on two of her paws last time. <br />Have you considered it at all? I've also heard interesting things about Tuf-Foot balm-stuff. Supposedly to toughen the pads. <br /><br />Hope you feel better very soon. <3Ximenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149363758149608097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-52955700410882663582012-08-21T08:43:34.725-07:002012-08-21T08:43:34.725-07:00I completely understand your frustrations!

I figured I'd rest it a bit, and all would be good. Well, here it is 2 months later and it still hurts. Guess I'll have to break down and have a doctor check it out. Sigh. And then add to that, Jimmy pulled his iliopsoas muscle, and that ended agility competitions for us for the rest of the summer. So a different sport, but I am sitting it out just like you! I feel like the world went on without me!<br /><br />I hope things look up for you very soon!Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523449106100926340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860110177277868021.post-677191744892523502012-08-21T03:44:16.055-07:002012-08-21T03:44:16.055-07:00You needs a happy day!
