Will this help protect my dogs paws from hot pavements and heat? Also, does this have an expiration date?

I could not find any expiration date on the container. Perhaps there is none. As for hot asphalt, while the label indicates it can be used for that, I've never used it in summer. I always touch hot pavement and if it burns my hand, I don't allow my dog to walk on it. Wherever we hike there's always turf. I have only used it for snow. If applied properly, it works great.

The short answer - yes. This keeps the paws supple, so we find (Mickey the standard poodle and I) that the Musher's Secret does help in the heat. The other factor in the summer is that the pavement has a lot of fine grit/sand/dust that robs moisture and oil from paws, leading to dry paws. So this helps put moisture back. Our container does not have an expiration date and with the lid closed we do not see any aging.

There is no expiration date. It works great on cold, I'm not 100% sure re: hot pavement but...given the quality, I'd give it a shot. But would still try and avoid pavement for grass/soil whenever possible. Check your dog's paws frequently and be sure.

Yes it does help paws in the heat. I put some on my dog weekly before going out. It's wax, not sure if I would care about expiration date

I don't know if these expire or not, I got them in the spring and they are still working very well! The way I use them is inside stinky tennis shoes to remove the odor. I have three pairs; two are in Tom's or Converse type tennis shoes that my daughters wear without socks, and the third is in a pair in my car that get more "active" wear, and they all seem to still work the same. I believe if they start to lose their effectiveness, you can set them out in the sun for awhile and they kind of "reactivate"!

Ignore the expiration date. It always works for getting rid of stinky feet no matter how long you have it.

Sorry for the delay. It's great! I have another which is not fabric, like this one and it's not the best on leather. I prefer this one better. It really protects your dog in the event you need to brake suddenly. I highly recommend it.

Not Bad at all!! You can use a couple of products from Turtle wax or leather conditioner from Mother brand and that should help it in protecting it from hot sunny weather up to rain.

It does have an expiration date, but I have used GSE LONG after the dates. You simply need to keep it from the air because it will take on and kill mold and bacteria from the air. I have had a bottle last me 3 years.

Sorry. I have absolutely no experience with this product. We bought the product to use on our extremely old bulldog's paws because the description in Amazon said that it would prevent slippage. However, when we received the wax, the instructions said that it could only be left on the paws for very brief periods and that it must be removed from the dog's pads before bringing the dog indoors. This did not meet our expectations, so we never used it.

I checked on my jar and didn't find an expiration date. I've had it for almost a year and it was not kept in climate controlled conditions. Suffered through the 100degree heat along with me! We are both still intact!

I honestly don't know how to find an expiration date. I have given Pet-Tabs for years, with several dogs, and I have always felt comfortable with them. My (rescue) dogs are healthy, or if not we know their exact medical problems and medicate for those, but as far as a vitamin I am very happy with Pet Tabs. I have a Yellow Lab (rescue) now who won't take them by hand as every other dog has done, but she will eat them in her food dish with her meal, so who cares? Andrea SpinkSunnyvale, CA

I don't think so. I live in NE PA & we've been getting very cold temps lately. My Chihuahua mix was more concerned with the rock salt than the cold. He doesn't seem to mind the cold on his paws as long as he's bundled up with heavy clothing. Lined booties are probably the only thing if your dog needs warmth for his paws.

As mentioned in previous comments/answers: Yes. "no damage whatsoever. We use it on our artificial turf that we installed for a dog relief area because we have no grass. It performs well, we spray once a month and it's lasts 2-3 months. No pet odor and the turf looks like new."

Mine has an expiration date on the end, but I don't believe the FDA requires expiration dates on non-prescription pet-meds.

Yes, all pads have expiration dates on it, and each pair can be used for about 10 times, hope its usefull for you.

No. And I discontinued it for my dog who is now walking after a year. If your animal is dragging their back legs, it does well to protect them from patio or rug burns on their back paws.

The fabric of this cover isn't waterproof, so no, I suspect it would not work. My dog licks his paws; he leaves a wet spot on the fabric, which doesn't go through the padding or the bottom layer, but I'm afraid anything liquid would go right through.

I got them because my dog has allergies that affect his paws. He wears them overnight to keep him from licking and chewing on his pads. I do clean the inside of them daily.

Its not waterproof and no it doesn't last 30 days. Pretty much it kills the fleas on the dog at that time and helps to keep fleas off for the day. It is very safe so you can use it often. I have an older sickly dog I use it on. He can't handle anything else. If the dog starts to drool wash him right away in dawn dish soap.
