I don't know if you know how much I love dogs. Just 3 months ago, I got myself a new puppy, a Rottweiler-Labrador mixed to be exact. Xena is now going 5 months and has been terribly loved and spoiled in the household. All her needs are provided, even those that are not so needed.
Big dogs often get calluses or pressure sores. These are areas of the skin that often get trauma due to pressure like laying down or sitting. Because Xena is considered to be a member of large, heavy, giant-breed dogs (at 4.5 months, she is already weighing 8 kilos), she got herself calluses when she was just turning 3 months old. I know simple calluses are not that serious and does not need thorough treatment, but as the maarte person that I am, I hate how it looks.
When I noticed that Xena was already having dry spots on her knees and but, I started applying petroleum jelly on those areas. Though the petroleum jelly helps in moisturizing the dry areas, it didn't seem to cure it so I had to look for a better alternative. Good thing, I remember Martha's post regarding Giga Pet Balm and how it helped in curing her dog's hot spots (read it here) so when I spotted a Giga kiosk in SM Megamall, I got a tub without hesitations.
