In this article, we’ll take a look at Musher’s Secret and whether or not it can harm your dog. Let’s get started!
What is Musher’s Secret?
Musher’s Secret is a paw wax for dogs, which works to create a breathable bond with the dog’s paws. Once on the paws, the product works to provide protection from extreme conditions and temperatures. Musher’s Secret was originally created in Canada to use with sledding dogs.
This is a great product for your dog if you regularly take him jogging, hiking, mushing, or even just for a walk. It keeps your dog’s paws protected on a wide variety of surfaces, including streets and off-road (rocky trails and more). It works by creating a semi-permeable shield and is absorbed into the paws yet still allows the paws to sweat. This product can also be used to heal sores and keep dirt out of a wound.
Many people use this product to keep their dog’s paws protected on:
- Rough terrain
- From ice build-up
- Snowballing
- Hot sand
- Salt & chemicals used in winter (on streets, sidewalks, and driveways)
- Hot pavement

The good news is that this is a non-toxic product, which means none of the ingredients will harm your dog. However, if your dog eats the whole container of Musher’s Secret, he will probably develop diarrhea and possibly vomiting. This product is known to have a laxative effect if ingested.
The diarrhea should pass within 24 hours. However, if it continues past that time, then it’s a good idea to call the vet. The problem is that constant diarrhea can dehydrate your dog. Plus, diarrhea that lasts longer than 24 hours needs to be treated.
If you do need to call the vet, be sure to let them know your dog has eaten Musher’s Secret and about how much of the product your fur baby has eaten.
The good news is that Musher’s Secret is completely natural and safe for your dog. If he does eat it, the diarrhea should last about 24 hours. If not, the vet will be able to help treat your dog for the diarrhea. Your fur baby should make a full recovery in no time!
