Vader doesn't walk, he patrols. Fence line, gate, driveway, back again. By evening the paws have covered more dirt track than most dogs manage in a week, and the pads show it — dry, split, grit worked into the cracks.

Guardian Nose to Toes is a conditioning oil for working paws and weathered noses. Steel rollerball, so you can do it while he's still catching his breath on the rug. Bamboo cap, clear glass, and three Guardian stones in the base — tiger's eye, obsidian and clear quartz, the same three that run through the collar.

In the bottle

✦ Tiger's Eye — traditionally associated with courage and steadiness.
✦ Obsidian — volcanic glass, long carried as a grounding, protective stone.
✦ Clear Quartz — traditionally associated with clarity and balance.

Three genuine stones, sealed inside the glass with the oil. Not printed on the label, not a pattern in the packaging — the same stones that sit on the Guardian collar, in the bottle you use every day.

What's in the oil

✦ Colloidal Oat Lipid — soothes, conditions, supports the skin barrier.
✦ Jojoba Oil — nourishes, softens, helps protect.
✦ Vitamin E — antioxidant, conditions, supports healthy skin.

How to use

Roll a thin layer onto clean, dry paw pads or the bridge of the nose. Let it absorb for a minute before they head outside. Daily in summer, after the beach, or whenever the pads feel rough.

Safe for dogs and cats. Both will lick it. That's expected — the formula is made for animals who groom themselves.

In the box

Rollerball in a Zoomies linen pouch and  in a black gift box. It arrives ready to give, which is useful, because most people buy the second one as a present.

Made for the journey.
