Is paw wax safe for my dog to lick, especially in cold weather?

Question

With the freezing temps we have been experiencing, Ive been doing everything to try to keep Brody’s paws warm and healthy when he’s outside. Boots aren’t really his favorite so I picked up some paw wax from the local bet store. They only had one brand and it doesn’t say any where if it is safe for the dogs to lick It (I’ve even checked their site). So I’ve included a picture of the product and ingredients and wanted to know if you could help with that. Thanks !

Hi. Sounds like it is freezing!! That's great that you are protecting Brody's feet. Yes, this is safe, but I'm not sure it helps with warmth. But yes, safe if he links his feet. You can also wipe his feet with a warm moist washcloth in between as well to help discourage linking and contact. Good luck. Stay warm
