But sometimes, even they need some looking after. Rough surfaces and substances can cause their paws to dry up and crack, maybe even bleed. If left unattended, it’s not only uncomfortable for your pal but can lead to infections.

The almond is one of nature’s little wonders. Technically the “seed” of a tree, it’s filled with nutritious goodness and considered a superfood even.

Almonds help lower LDL or bad cholesterol in the body and are packed with magnesium, potassium and vitamin E. They help nutrients and oxygen move freely within the blood and are generally good for the heart.  

Packed with essential nutrients, heart-healthy fats, and cancer-fighting fiber, nuts and seeds are the ultimate superfoods. You can eat these crunchy treats alone as snacks, sprinkle them on your morning cereal, or add them to simple recipes to make gourmet meals. Nuts are nutrient-dense and versatile, making them among the most expensive yet versatile foods in the world.
