Vaseline, a petroleum jelly, is safe for dogs in small amounts for things like dry skin or cracked paws, but it's not ideal for everyday use.
While Vaseline can offer temporary relief, it's not the best long-term solution because it can trap bacteria and make it harder for wounds to heal.
If your dog has a cut, burn, or ongoing skin problems, it's important to talk to your vet about the best treatment options.
There are many dog-specific products available that are safer and more effective for treating dry skin, cuts, or other skin issues.
