Is Vaseline safe for dog paws in winter, or is Invisible Boot better?

Question

My two dogs have VERY tender Pads on their paws, during the Winter's Extreme cold and Icy weather. I bought a cream called 'Invisible Boot'. Is Vaseline just as good, as once the dogs are outside just to do their Duties, they hold their paws up, before getting back to the house. They are in my back yard, where no Salt is used. They just freeze their pads so quickly! I can't put Boots on them, as they are often in deep snow, and the Boots have come off, in the past. What about the Vaseline?

The problem with vaseline is that if Tasha licks it off, it will cause GI upset in the form of vomiting and diarrhea. Due to that, I would not recommend using it, and instead would use the Invisible Boot cream.
