Why We’re Not Shipping Our Paw & Nose Balm in This Heatwave (Unless You Want Dog Slop in a Tin)

Let’s talk about the great British meltdown. No, not the economy (although… valid). We’re talking about the kind of weather that melts roads, dogs’ dignity, and unfortunately our Paw and Nose Balm.

Yes, it’s happening again.

And this time, we’re saying enough is enough.

“Your product arrived runny.”

Last year, someone left us a passive-aggressive message to say their balm arrived “soft.” It’s a balm. That’s what it does.

This year? Another customer opened their parcel and decided to share the horror that it arrived melted.

Guess what else is melted? Our patience.

We’ve spent the last few heatwaves bending over backwards to replace perfectly good product that arrived a bit too warm and throwing in freebies and replacements to “keep the peace.” Do you know what’s not peaceful? Watching your hard-earned £4.99 sale on eBay evaporate into thin air along with your profit, just so you don’t get a 2-star review from someone living in the actual Sahara desert of Essex.

So let’s be clear:

We’re Not Shipping Paw Balm During Heatwaves. Period.

We don’t control the weather. We don’t control Royal Mail storage depots. We don’t know if your postman leaves your parcel baking on the dashboard of his Ford Transit while he eats a sausage roll and listens to Classic FM.

All we know is this:

Our balm is made from high-quality, natural ingredients. And when it’s hot… it melts.

We’re not sorry. We’re honest.

If you want a balm that arrives looking like a brick, maybe you’re after a candle. Or a block of cement.

Here’s the Truth About Our Paw & Nose Balm (Why It’s So Good)

Our balm isn’t some cheap Vaseline rip-off. It’s soft but solid, made with organic hemp seed oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E. We don’t use petroleum or dodgy synthetic rubbish.

🐾 It’s lick-safe

🐾 It smells like bubblegum (seriously, your dog will smell like a sweet shop)

🐾 It’s used by groomers, breeders, and paw-obsessed humans across the UK

🐾 It’s even used as a base layer for our legendary Cosmo Canker Powder – especially when treating cracked ears, sore skin, or flaky snouts

Soft paws, sweet scent, and serious love—because your dog deserves a kiss too!

This stuff is proper. It’s not whipped up in some garage with fairy dust. It’s made in England with care, quality assurance, and actual dog owners in mind.

So when it melts it’s not because we cut corners. It’s because you’re asking a balm to survive a heatwave in a bubble mailer.

We Looked Into Ice Packs. Guess What?

Yes, we did research insulated packaging and ice packs.

And you know what we found?

We’d have to either:

1. Triple the product price,

2. Charge £7.99+ for shipping,

3. Or start selling exclusively to Arctic regions.

We sell this balm for £4.99 on eBay, including postage. That’s right! Postage included 😭 We make about 12p and a biscuit crumb per order after fees. And yet, we still get told off because your tin of luxurious, handmade balm arrived a bit too creamy for your liking.

If you want a tin wrapped in a NASA-grade cool pack and rushed across the country like it’s a human organ for transplant, you’ll need to pay the price.

(Spoiler: you won’t.)

Here’s What We’re Doing Instead

We’re going to do something radical:

Wait.

Yep. No balm shipments until the weather behaves. If you try to order during a heatwave, we’ll let you pre-order it and send it as soon as it’s safe to do so. You’re welcome to message us for updates or ask for a weather forecast if you’re feeling chatty.

But we are no longer playing postal roulette with our paw balm.

We’re tired. We’re sunburnt. And we’re not about to get a neutral feedback because your dog skincare product didn’t survive the sun when neither did your bin wheelie lid.

“But I Want It Now!”

Don’t we all.

Look, you can still grab a tin just not while the UK is turning into a pizza oven. In the meantime, you can:

• Bookmark this blog

• Pre-order your balm for first dispatch when it cools

• Check out our other products like Cosmo Canker Powder, Canker Blaster Ear Drops, or Tear Stain Remover, none of which mind a bit of heat

And hey, if you’re clever, you might find us outside of eBay. Some say the website version comes with surprises. Google is your friend. 😉

We’re Not Amazon. We’re Not Silly.

This is a one-woman business trying to keep prices fair, customers happy, and dogs itch-free — while avoiding heatwave-induced refund requests and the wrath of eBay buyers who expect climate-controlled mailboxes.

We’re not Prime.

We’re not paid to smile through nonsense.

We’re just trying to get your dog’s feet fixed without melting into financial ruin.

In Summary (or: Please Stop Making Us Cry)

We LOVE making this balm. It works. It’s gentle. It’s bloody brilliant, actually. But we’re not superheroes. We can’t freeze the sun, hijack the Royal Mail depot, or ship solid balm across the UK when the weather’s behaving like it’s auditioning for Love Island.

We will not:

❌ Ship balm during heatwaves

❌ Issue free replacements when it melts due to clearly stated conditions

❌ Accept responsibility for global warming, your conservatory’s temperature, or your postman’s lazy dashboard habits

We WILL:

✅ Allow you to pre-order

✅ Ship the moment it’s safe

✅ Keep making amazing natural pet care products that don’t cost the earth

✅ Be 100% honest — even when it’s not convenient

We’re not shipping balm in heatwaves—unless you like melted soup in a
