I have an English Bull Terrier with severe skin allergies. Can this be used on his paws even if he tries to lick it off?

It should be fine for severe skin allergies. If a small amount is ingested it would be fine but if this is habitual I would not recommend as the gelling agent which is under 1% is not for internal use.

It says 'for topical use only' but is basically just coconut oil w/ colloidal silver.

I would use a gentle soap/shampoo on a dog. This would dry out skin and not to be used on certain parts of the body

He will not let us use it on his paws..too stiff and seems to be uncomfortable for him..waste of money.

I have not tested this product, as I was unable to negotiate getting it on to any one of my miniature poodle's paws. It is a real challenge to stretch this balloon-like sock enough to pull it over a paw, unless your furry friend is either wiped out or knocked out. Once on, I suppose it could offer some traction on a slippery surface, but I do not think it would be wise to leave it on the foot 24/7. The unbreathable rubber may present an unhealthy environment.

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 had a Great Dane who was allergic to grass. No joke. He would get itchy, red splotches all over his feet. I put organic lavender essential oil on his feet and lower legs and it always worked IMMEDIATELY to heal his itchiness and the redness, too, went away immediately. I know this is way too late since it's a little over 5 years since this question was asked but perhaps it can help someone. :)

Personally? I wouldn't try it. One of my danes won't even let these things near his feet. They have a high "plastic" odor to them and when you take them out of the container, they have a powdery substance feel to your fingers. I think putting peroxide on these would cause a disintegration of the plastic and possibly harm your dog's feet further? Just my opinion...

I'm afraid not. I wish it would--my dog itches all summer and fall. She has grass and other allergies (not food) and has as many problems as ever, every year, even on the enzymes : (

If you purchase the correct size (go to the Comfy Cone website to see how to properly measure) your dog should not be able to reach anything - including its paws. I bought mine for my Black Lab who has issues with his paws and it stopped his constant licking. Good Luck!

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.

I think your dog would enjoy this one. Even more if your dog loves water. My 2 puppies love this and even more today because of the snow outside. I would give it a try and if he turns his face away maybe put a little bit of peanut butter under it. Good luck!

My dog had licked her sunscreen but she has never gotten a sunburn in the area that she licked once it had been applied. Eventually we taught her not to lick the sunscreen by saying leave it.

I don't know. I bought this as a gift for my father to use on his dog. I know that the animal is suppose to lick the toothpaste off the brush. And the brush is pretty big.

Not sure if you've seen the vet yet, but our dog used to focus on her paws as well. We found out it was a food allergy. Typically they are allergic to beef or chicken. Pretty much the only way to find out what it is is to test by removing a specific food, e.g., only feed all salmon and see if they stop chewing. Ours now only eats fish or venison made dog foods.

I don't know, never tried that. We just sprinkle it on their dog food. Might try asking the manufacturer.

It was suggested that this might help my dog's allergies. It has not helped much, but the dogs love it. I tried putting it directly on her paws, which she chews on, but she likes it so much she just kept licking it off.

I wouldn't put it in areas that a dog might chew. It's more for areas where scratching is an issue. You might try picking up something at a pet store to discourage chewing, it's a spray that tastes bitter to a dog. You spray or wipe on the liquid around your doorframe, and the dog won't like the taste, so he/she stops chewing (at least in that area).
